I've been on Weight Watchers for a little while now and I've lost 22 pounds with a lot more to lose. I can eat the things I like and I've yet to feel hungry while on this diet. I highly recommend it to those of you who maybe have struggled with diets in the past. I've tried them all and this is the only diet that I've been successful with.

Cool! I'll try it. What do you need to get started?

My wife went on that diet back in 1973 and lost a lot of weight without suffering like she did on other diets.

There was a drastic side effect though......it caused her to get pregnant again

That rules me out. I don't want to get pregnant

You get on the WW website and join. I think it's like $20 a month. Then you download the app on your phone, it allows you to log your food intake to keep up with your points, scan bar codes on food packages, log your exercise etc. At least that's how the wife and I have done it. She's lost seven pounds.

Congrats. I did it last year and lost 63 lbs. more importantly it helped my learn new eating habits. And so far I'm able to maintain the weight loss. Best wishes for continued success in your weight loss

About 18 lbs too much. Just seems I am eating less, but don't lose weight.

Good for you for losing that weight.

This works for me:

"Want to beat the bulge? It's not willpower you need but a step on the scales each day: Keeping a close eye on your weight motivates you to adopt a healthy diet and to exercise…"

I weigh myself every day. If I'm over my target weight, I diet until I meet that target. My digital scale is a SECA 876. It has an accuracy specification, and is completely repeatable – I can step on it five times and see the same reading every time.

The SECA 876 is expensive nowadays, but I got mine for $360 several years ago.

Yeah, my wife was a little heavier than she liked. She joined weight watchers and has lost 30 lbs. She looks great and says she feels better.

based on this thread I am going up to the big city today to look at both weight watchers and Jenny craig

In December 2003 (yes right before Christmas)I started weight watches. By August of 2004 I had gone from 280lb to 207lb. I am 6'4" and I felt like I had lost a little to much weight if that is possible. It was difficult to maintain so I settled on a weight of 215lb. That was perfect for me. Kept most of the weight off for 12 years.
Around the beginning of this year I went away from the plan and gained some weight so I am back on the plan. In the last 7 to 8 weeks I have lost around 17lb with a little more to go.
Keep up the good work. A little at a time it will come off.
