I have just started Weight watchers and had a church function tonight at Rockfish and I ate really good except for eating 1 shrimp stuffed jalapeno. I looked on the weight watchers website but couldn’t find anything that matched.

I’m thinking about joining weight watchers to lose a few lbs. I’m a male, but I’m transgendered, and I want a more feminine figure, not a masculine figure. I already have wide hip bones, but my upper body fat is kind of a problem. Would choosing women weight watchers make a difference?

Stellina asked:


How many weight watchers points are there in a regular cup size coffee with two of those little pre-packaged milk thingies (2% milk – the little containers that they have in restaurants, im not sure how much milk is in there) and a tablespoon of brown sugar?

Thanks!

I just joined weight watchers today in hopes of losing at least like 55 pounds. Any tips on dieting? Excericising that worked really well for you? Also with the weight watchers diet I am using the points plan not the core plan, but I will still listen to what you have to say if you did the core plan.

Suzie Bear asked:


I drank a full bottle of weight watchers rose wine which is 1 point a glass but i cant remeber how many glasses i had so how much is it for the whole bottle?

Lum asked:


I don’t want to sign up for Weight Watchers because of budget reasons. But I want to track my food intake and compare to Weight Watchers standards. Is there a free way to look up foods to get their Weight Watchers points value? Much appreciated!

cupboardmouse asked:


I have decided to join weight watchers but was wondering if I could give it a try first myself as I found a points list on the internet. How many points do you have a day? How does exercise fit into the plan – do you get points for that or something?

Thanks

The Weight Watcher’s program introduced the Weight Watcher Core Plan as an alternative to its Point System/Flex plan. The basic idea was to offer dieters a different method, one that did not rely upon constantly counting weight watcher points. Rather it is based around only eating core foods, and attempting to use Weight Watcher Core Recipe’s as its base, and portion control as its method. The question these plans work?

Firstly for those who are not familiar with Weight Watchers Flex Plan, it is based upon a flexible system in which foods are valued with a Weight Watcher Point. Each participant in the Weight Watcher Program is evaluated and they are allotted a certain amount of points for the week that they must stick to in order to reach their target weight. Several tools such as Weight Watcher Point Calculator, Weight Watcher Etools, Weight Watcher Meetings etc are all incorporated to make one of the more successful commercial weight loss systems around (to find out more about Weight Watchers refer to the site linked below).

Now as mentioned about the Weight Watcher Core Plan is the alternative method to the Flex Plan. Instead of constantly calculating your points with the Weight Watcher Point System (formulas, calculators, log books etc), the dieter simply sticks to the Weight Watcher Core Food Lists, and Weight Watcher Core Recipe’s. This is a less intense method, and may not always be as effective. However if it is adhered to, and accompanied by exercise it will certainly show results.

One of the main issues to consider with the Weight Watchers Core Plan is that you do not have the variety of food options that you may with the Weight Watcher Flex Plan (in which no foods are banned). That said, the Weight Watcher Core Food List does no include all bland tasting foods that have the potential to bore the dieter (includes such options as vegetables, soups, lean meats, poultry, fish etc). Furthermore there are extensive Weight Watcher Core Recipe’s available based around the core plan (for more details about Core Foods and Recipes see the site linked below).

Therefore in concluding the Weight Watcher Core Plan is certainly a viable option for prospective dieters, and whether or not you go with the Flex Plan or Core Plan will depend upon your individual personality and situation.

Cori asked:


Hello, I just completed my first week of weight watchers. I lost an initial 6lbs for my first week. So far the only challenge that I see in the future is my dinner plan. I was able to pull off eating different meals than my family for this week but I don’t think it’s very probable for that to continue. I’m looking for fellow weight watchers who also have to cook for a husband and children and looking for sample dinners with recipes and points values. Nothing strange or extravagant, I have to cook for 3 boys Any ideas?
