weight watchers
Discussion
Try eating a healthy, balanced diet with a long term view of maintaining a healthy weight. As opposed to yoyo dieting which I'm sure you're very familiar with. That said, Weight Watchers is one of the more healthy approaches as it isn't about dropping a food group. Anyway, worthwhile reading up on the GI diet (a lifestyle eating strategy).

What do you mean you've tried it?Eat better food and less of it, do more excersise you'll lose weight. For people that are not wanting more from their bodys for particular sports etc, that really is all you need to know.
It's amazing how people think there is more to it than that.
I started weight watchers 2 weeks ago and i am finding it difficult as i am used to eating indians,chinese takeaways,pizzas,kfcs and mcdonalds. Have you any helpful advice for me as i want to lose weight quick.i am 5ft 5 inches, 38 yrs of age and weigh 11st 12lbs at present,it all seems to pile onto my stomach and nowhere else? I am getting my monthly pass code tonight for going online to the weight watchers sight, what does this cover and do you need a another seperate code for using the esourse program tools?

Do you drink? If so, then stop drinking whilst dieting. If you don't drink, then you are kidding yourself about what you eat; if you follow Weightwatchers properly, it works...

I drink only once a week but i love my food more,that is the problem. I eat cheese with everything
Seriously are you trying to be a wind up?You're overweight because of what you eat, how many more ways are there to say it EAT BETTER FOOD and a little excersise will only help. There is no miracle cure, unless you're going to get lypo.

Cheese is so high points on WW. I presume that you are doing the points version? The "stop when you're full" WW doesn't work for those of us who eat too many carbs and really just can't stop eating.The best bet is to plan meals in advance; find out what are free and what are low points and make the most of that. Cheese is basically of the menu.
Drink skimmed milk, go easy on bread and other carbs, eat more salads, only have tomato ketchup as a sauce (not mayo), and a small breakfast. Don't snack between meals. Don't drink alcohol. Try to avoid sugar in hot drinks. (sweeteners fine). Be realistic about how many points per day you can have. If you don't lose weight in the first fortnight, you are either setting too high a points tally, or you are exceeding your points tally.
If only I could practice what I preached!

No offence but this has to be a wind up....you want to lose weight but finding it hard to give up takeways etc....Not to be condescending but do you really think someone is going to come on here and tell you a magic way to lose weight that involves no modification to either your diet or exercise regime, sorry but it actually annoys me a bit the more I think about it.
shadowninja said it perfectly. eat less of the junk, more of the good stuff and do some exercise. more calories out than in = weight loss.
you don't need to cut back masses and masses. remember, if you're not putting weight on (i.e. maintaining a weight that is higher than you want to be) then cutting back a small amount and doing exercise WILL make you lose weight. it's as simple as that. you should try and eat as many calories per day that would sustain the body weight of what you want to be. losing weight will be slower, but healthier and less painful.
it's no miracle....eat less food high in caloric value, and do some cardio exercise.

Can anyone out there let me know if these herbal weight loss tablets actual work with a calorie controlled diet
'kin hell. Do it the natural way. Do some research into the GI diet. The right food will digest more slowly so you feel full for longer thus eat less. I tend to follow it so I don't fall asleep in afternoon meetings but it's a proper lifestyle diet rather than something you adopt for 5 minutes, lose 20kg then put on 30kg.ShadownINja said:
