Anyone doing WW?
 

I rejoined WW Online today. About two and a bit years ago I did it on my own, no meetings or online tools, and lost 20lbs. I haven't gained any of it back now, maybe about 3lbs or so, but I want to nip that in the bud ASAP and finally get to my goal weight. Now that I can't remember a lot of what I knew then, I thought I'd get some help from their online tools. :)

WW is the only thing that has ever worked for me. Calorie counting, for whatever reason, just hasn't been shifting any weight at all on my body. I think the 1537 calorie recommendation I had from the Daily Plate was perhaps a bit off. Even on a great week where I ate really well I didn't even lose 0.2 of a pound, but consistently on WW I lost weight... so back to what works for me!!

Are there any other 20-somethings doing WW? I'd love to chat about your successes and see how you're all getting on! :carrot:

I am doing ww to. I tried it when i was in high school without meetings and didn't like it. I felt like I had to think about food all the time. This time when I started losing weight i got stuck at 15lbs and couldn't lose anymore. I joined ww and have now lost 39lbs all together. I really like it although the meeting aren't my fav. Knowing i have to weigh in keeps me on track.

im doing ww on my own like the two of you, i lost an initial 15 pounds since the beginning of the year then got stuck but just recently started loosing again.

i keep going even if i think about food all the time just because i want it off and this is the best way i know how.

Me! Well, sorta. I have my mom's really old WW set (the Winning Points System, for those who care) and I've just been figuring it out on my own.

I like not having to count veggies. I know some will say that effectively counting every calorie is better, but I know i'll never eat them if I have to count them!

WW is amazing. I am absolutely loving it so far and have lost 17 pounds (7.6kg) in 7 weeks. This is my third time!! And I'm only 21 haha
Good luck and hope it all goes well for you!

I have been doing WW since January 1st of this year, i am having great success this time around.. also i stopped attending meeting after the first month and honestly i think im just as accountable without spending the 40$ a month.

I'm going WW, and am not attending meetings. I actually never paid for it, because my mom had all the materials for the flex points system laying around. I just kinda figured it out on my own, and have been doing since about July 2009 (with a pause from december until about 3 weeks ago...where I didn't gain but just tried to maintain)....and I have lost a total of 66 lbs. Its SO easy and it's the only thing that I've ever tried that has worked for me. =D

Thanks for all the responses guys! I'm so happy to hear you're all being successful - I hope that means I can be successful this time too!!

I am...technically I am starting today. I have tried to start about 10 times already though. Would love to chat as well with other 20 somethings on WW.

I've been doing ww since 12/30/09. Basically, I do go to the meetings just because I like the idea of them weighing me and being able to pick up groceries on the way home along with various errands all on that one day a week without having to spare much thought to it. The meetings are a me thing, though I could probably use that $40 differently - maybe as mini rewards for weight goals, so I might change and stop going, who knows. Plus I've been picking up their ww stuff and sending it to my parents who are doing it through me.

A couple of years I did WW and lost about 15 pounds. So I am trying it again. I've never been to a meeting because of the money (broke college student here) but I'd like to go.

If you guys are up for it, maybe we could make a 20-somethings group thread in the Clubs & Groups section of the WW board?

I did WW last year and had success with it but fell off the wagon. Now I'm trying SBD which I really like.

We used to have a 20 somethings WW thread on here. Why don't you guys create one of those?

I was an online WW member as well, but really didn't like their boards compared to here.

Just a suggestion

Sure Feral, that sounds like a good idea. I guess then we can keep everything together in the 20-something's forum.

I do WW too! I've lost 13lbs so far, and I lost 20lbs in high school. I gained that 20lbs + back once I started college. Had to cook for myself, stopped going to meetings, etc.

Now I'm back on track. I go to meetings every week. Keeps me in line and I don't want to buy a scale. I'll become obsessed!

And I agree with Feral about the WW boards... people were really snotty and when you slipped up and just wanted to vent, they'd rip you a new one! Here is much nicer.
