Greetings from the Eighties
The 80s called and they want their diet back!
I've registered for this forum because I am a refugee from the current Weight Watchers online site and boards.
I am also a refugee from their Points programs (all variations of them).
I was a WW leader in 1987 after I first reached my weight goal. Back in the days of the Exchanges. Loved them and I'm going back. I'm on day 3 of week one of Quick Start Plus and happier than ever I was.
I am also a refugee from South Beach.
I am also a refugee from Best Life.
I am also a refugee from "Lose It!"
I am also a refugee from Paleo.
The key is that since I was last successful, the many diets I have tried have veered off the course of "exchanges". Could I have modified them to work that way? Surely. But it became really schizophrenic for me. I couldn't remember whether I was counting points, "doing Core or Simply Filling", or was it "Power Foods", or was I counting calories? Or was I avoiding bread this week? Or was that in two weeks.
Old dog, new tricks, no can do. My sister and I are supporting each other and clinging to our Weight Watchers Quick Start Exchanges (though I'll eventually go to the Personal Choices).
I look forward to poking around on this site and am happy to make it "One More Fat Chick Hanging Out Here"
