Hello everyone..... I've been a member here for quite some time, and am once again attempting weight loss. BUT
this time I know it will stick! This time, it's for real! I was so fed up, I went to my local WW on a whim and joined. Enough is enough. Today was my first day! I have a few questions... after browsing this forum I'm hoping I'm not missing my answers somewhere but if so, you can just stear me in the right thread direction....
My questions....
-I have "book 1" - I asked what that meant when I signed up and I was told there are a total of 10 books. So, when will I get the others?
The next 9 meetings? Or when I lose a certain amount of weight? And what is different about each book? Do the points system change?
-I know they want you to eat your allowance but today I actually was under by 7 points. Is that OK? Someone at the meeting said never to do that, to always eat all your points or you won't lose. True?
-I'm a little confused about how exercise fits into this program. I'm doing the Points system. Any insight wld be very appreciated. Do I track my hours or steps or anything?
-Lastly, can you go to any meeting in your area or do you have to return to the location you signed up? I didn't really get anything out of the meeting. I found it to be dull, and everything that was said and discussed, I already knew (I've done SO much research in the last few years on diet and fitness)
I can skip the meeting, but I have to show up for the weigh-in - can I get the second and third, etc., book then or must I stay for the meetings every time?
I've thought about doing it on my own, just going to sign up and get the material but now I'm unsure... one, because of the fact ya get multiple books, and two, I think knowing I have to weigh-in in front of someone every week will motivate me to stay on track. $14 a week is a small investment if it means I'll actually FINALLY reach my goal weight and good health! Right?
Any tips, advice, personal stories, feedback for a newbie would be MUCH MUCH appreciated! Thanks so much for any help. For the first time in my life I am excited about losing weight. I look forward to chatting with fellow WW's.
