Smile New to Weight Watchers!! :)

I'm starting weight watchers tomorrow and I'm so excited. Nothing else has worked to get these last 10-15 pounds off but I think this will! How long will that take if I include running as well? Just wondering

Everyone is so different, that it is hard to tell you how long it will take. Expecially those last pounds. They say you should lose 0.5 - 2 lbs a week. So that would put you around 5- 20 wks. Running definately helps but it is 90% what you eat.

Good luck, hopefully it does not take too long.

Hi Kassi

How funny - I also need to get the last 10-15 lbs off, and I also am new to WW (only started yesterday!) I'm currently training for my first half marathon (which is on the 30th of March). I'm running rather far distances about 3 times per week, and each running session I'm probably burning close on 900 calories, so I think the running will definitely help me out a lot. How far do you run and how often?

hi Kassi! I started ww a week and a half ago and I love it so far! I see it as a sustainable way of eating because I can still have the foods I enjoy I just have less of them, or I workout to earn more activity points. It's working for me and I've tried almost every other "diet" out there. I hope it works well for you and with 10-15lbs to go, you got this girl!

I try to run as often as I can, but I have not been very consistent. I want to start running 4 or 5 times a week for about 40 minutes going 6 mph. I run on the treadmill, so I always have the incline on at least 3 because 1 is too easy. And I hope weight watchers works for y'all too! I think this is so much easier than guessing how much to eat!

Oops, didnt mean for that to be confusing. What I meant to say was I run as often as I can, but I haven't been very consistent. But when I do run, I run for 40 minutes on at least a 3 incline.
