New - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

QuackyLove · 02-13-2011, 11:00 PM

Hello All-

I am considering doing weight watchers at home? What is the difference between the meetings and doing it online? Can I go to a meeting here and there and do the online WW for the most part? I tried doing South Beach diet before this and had some major issues right away, I think because I went from the way I was eating to trying to change it overnight. I like the idea of still being able to eat my regular foods but in smaller portions is this right? I have been slowly changing my eating habits on my own like eating whole wheat pasta, eating more veggies lean meats and I plan to continue this, but would love to have treats now and then. Any suggestions or advice? Would you recommend WW? Thanks

I think you are on the right track with WW. I have done South Beach and had success with it but on Phase 2 I think I overdid good stuff so I think that by counting points while eating the whole grains, lean proteins, etc...is going to help me a lot. Sounds like you are making a good choice- in my opinion....by the way welcome....Lisa

ww is a great way to enjoy the foods you know are not 'so healthy' yet teaches you a more controled and healthy way of eating and it can be just as satisfy...

I've only ever done it by myself with a starter kit from someone who kept quitting and rejoining. I love it. I am about to start up again tomorrow.

It's nice knowing you can have anything but you just try to choose wisely. It was almost like a game for me, a puzzle. I kept trying to maximize the food and minimize the points as if I thought I could *beat* the system.
