Velma T asked:


I was on the Atkins diet for 3 weeks and lost 10lbs. I used Atkins as a jumpstart, but now I would like to start Weight Watchers because to me it is a more realistic way of life. Do you feel that I can start Weight Watchers directly after the Atkins diet and still lose weight?

Kayla C asked:


I am trying to loose weight, and my brother told me, I should just stick to a 1500 calorie a day diet, how many weight watchers points would that be?

In the field of dieting and weight watching there are just a handful of organizations that have actually successfully achieved what they promise. These organizations seem to be on the roll and there is no question of stopping them. More significant are the people who join and manage to stick to it till the end. So why do some programs take the backseat while some steal the show?

Community

One chief reason behind the success of Weight Watchers is the sense of community, the bond, that is forged between all the men and women who have a common goal-weight loss. It is encouraging as well as endearing to be with a set of people with whom you can share your experiences as well as theirs.

More often than not, people who are on diet or a program simply do not get enough support from their family and friends. The bonding that takes place in the meetings of the Weight Watchers is strong because it is of people who come from diverse walks of life and cultures but are still united under one common aim of losing weight and a leading healthier lives. And this bond is very dear to them because it is together that they laugh and cry. The kind of motivation and encouragement that this type of program stimulates is commendable to the highest degree.

Evolution

Though the typical manner in which to watch weight would be to actually attend the meetings, the community of Weight Watchers knows how to evolve with time. For those who are too busy or are just afraid to attend meetings, there are many alternatives available like online forums, support group sand message boards.

But the evolution has not stopped here. They have, in recent years, introduced a system of points which allows dieters to gauge how well they are performing or progressing through points instead of having to actually keep track of and account for every calorie. Counting every calorie is a hassle many dieters should not have to take time out of their busy schedules to sort out (especially while dining out).

The Weight Watchers online website is a great example of fast evolution in response to the ever changing requirements of men and women taking part in the program. They truly outdo themselves in terms of the information and insights offered.

Commitment to fitness

It is common knowledge among the Weight Watchers that dieting alone does not reap benefits. A diet in combination with an appropriate exercise gives much better and satisfying results. When it comes down to it, the most successful Weight Watchers are the ones who along with proper nutrition and attitude towards food, also stress on exercise as a vital component of the regime.

Weight Watchers is one among numerous other dieting and weight loss programs available in the market today. That they have carved a niche for themselves and are above many others in this particular field demands recognition. Despite the innumerable weight reduction programs being introduced every other month, Weight Watchers has consistently achieved laudable results for those who actually work at it. There are not many programs that can claim the same for themselves.

Considering all of the afore mentioned, along with the pre packaged food and extensive recipes offered by the Weight Watchers, coupled with their remarkable track record for success, there is no way you wouldn’t want to at least check out what they have to offer you.

mybabyblue_eyes69 asked:


I am looking for a web site that has a list of the weight watchers points and how many points you need for your weight. I did weight watchers two years ago, but have lost my books and counter. I really do not want to attend a meeting or spend the money to purchuse the books again.

Are you in the Weight Watchers program? Are you still struggling to lose weight? There are many stories surrounding Weight Watchers, some people seeing great results and some people not only did not lose any weight, they might have gained more weight instead.

Well, the fact is that Weight Watchers is not a miracle pill. Same as with any other dieting programs, the success of the diet or program boils down to YOU. Let me tell you again : There is no magic formula or any pills which will help us shed the pounds instantly in a healthy way.

Thus you must learn and understand the far deeper reason behind the failure of Weight Watchers program or any other program for that matter : Why do so many of us fail when it comes to dieting and following a program such as Weight Watchers?

3 major reasons are as follows :

Reason 1: Not following through all the way with the plan

The biggest mistake that many of us make is not sticking to the plan. If you join a program such as Weight Watchers, you have to pay a membership fee so it is essential that you have the commitment needed to go into the plan and follow it through by sticking to it. The whole gist of Weight Watchers is to rely on the person to keep track of what they eat. Further more, there is an added advantage of the support that Weight Watchers gives to members. Weight Watchers relies on a points system whereby a point value is assigned to each food based on the amount of calories and fat content within that particular food. So a person is then allowed a certain number of points throughout the day which is calculated based on their sex and weight.

You must understand that this system will work if you keep strictly to the number of points allowed per day. However, if you continually goes over the recommended daily allotted amount of points, then of course you are not going to lose weight and in fact, could in fact gain more weight instead!

Reason 2 : Failing to keep a journal

It is essential for a plan such as Weight Watchers to be successful that you keep a journal and write down all the foods that you consume each day. Indeed, simply relying on your memory to keep count is not good enough. No one is perfect, more so with memory. If you keep forgetting what you ate, no matter how small it is, you could also conveniently forget all about that nibble you had with your coffee or tea each day. All the little nibbles can add up easily and quickly! If you are going to be successful with the Weight Watchers program then you have to keep a written journal and include every single point that you put through your lips strictly.

Reason 3 : Guessing

Do you know that by guessing the number of points in a plateful of food, you are on the track to failure? Simply by being lazy and by repeatedly underestimating the number of points you are eating, you can never expect to lose weight. Thus do not guess the number of points in your plate of food!

Plus there are many who misunderstand the system because certain foods such as vegetables have no points so long as you measure that amount in one cup. Many are also misled to think that you are allowed as many vegetables as you wish and it’s still classed as no points. Well then, by assuming that those food carries no points, you can easily overeat and the points do add up! Always be sure you totally understand the points system of a program like Weight Watchers and if in doubt ask a representative or an experienced user for advice on calculating using the points system.

Bottom line is that any type of diet requires a change in your lifestyle and that requires your willpower and determination. Weight Watchers is no exception, only by following the guidelines set out will you be successful in your weight loss program. Do proper calculation of points, keeping a written account if everything you eat is essential to making the program work. You must also stick with it over time until you reach your weight goal. To maintain the weight, you need to keep to a healthy lifestyle which includes eating healthily and going for regular exercise.

About the Author:

It’s been more than forty years since Weight Watchers came on the scene and started helping people live healthier lives. Weight Watchers helps members create a foundation to introduce healthier choices and physical activity into their lives.

The original Weight Watchers plan invites members to weekly meetings where members hold group sessions, helping dieters form a network of support with people sharing similar experiences. Upon arrival, each person checks their weight privately. Meetings are conducted by a trained Meeting Leader who motivates and offers the group support through information about nutrition and fitness.

Weight Watchers was made popular by a points system called Flex Plan. A point value is assigned to each food on the comprehensive list of more than 27,000 foods. The Flex Plan allows you to eat the foods you like. Just stay within your daily points and you can still enjoy fried chicken and Diet Pepsi.

Weight Watchers emphasizes eating more wholesome food through its Core Plan. Members don’t count points; just choose a balanced combination of whole grains, lean meats, fruits and vegetables, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy.

Jenny McCarthy recently appeared in a commercial for Weight Watchers after successfully losing and maintaining her post-pregnancy weight by following the program. Perhaps its most prominent celebrity endorser is Sarah, Duchess of York. Before her, Lynn Red grave appeared in a series of popular television advertisements for the packaged low calorie food division of the H.J. Heinz Company, then the parent of Weight Watchers.

Weight watchers is a great plan and a great program for losing weight and keeping with tasty meal choices. Being able to continue to eat for fun and for weight loss is the corner stone of programs like weight watchers. Other programs that starve the body leave you craving sweet foods, carbohydrates, etc… and ultimately lead to a break down and food binge. Food binging is one of the worst possible things that can happen to new dieters as it not only will erase prior progress but can sometimes set the dieter back even further than before starting the diet.

Members are also welcome and encouraged to join the Weight Watchers community online, at weightwatchers.com. From the comfort of their homes, members can form virtual support groups, monitor progress and access hundreds of approved recipes, like Blue Cheese Muffins, Sweet and Sour Pork, Grilled Beef Fajitas and even delectable treats like Chocolate Mint Brownies.
