5 Reasons To Go To Weight Watchers To Lose Weight

One member's experience follows below, however I too have been personally following this diet and I agree with her on everything apart from I actually do purchase their products as I find it makes it easier for me to follow the diet...

....'I have been a member of Weight Watchers several times over the last several years. I have lost weight on & off of the program. I think I keep going back for several reasons.

1.) Accountability.

This time I joined because I knew I would be travelling and the weekly weigh-ins will help me with accountability.

Travelling is challenging when you are trying to lose weight and follow a healthy diet. So I planned ahead and tried to make the best choices available. There were a lot of temptations that I avoided. So I did my best. Regardless of what the scales said.

2.) Weekly meetings.

I stay for the meetings because of the support. For success you need support and loving mirrors. People who believe in you.

People we can celebrate our achievements with.

And people who also struggle with the same things I struggle with. Stress eating, Emotional eating, social events, eating out, etc.

There are also weekly tips and topics that help me stay focused.

3.) Freedom.

I have the freedom to follow the "PointsPlus" system or the "Simply Filling" Power foods.

This time I am doing the Power Foods because that is mostly what I eat. I like that they recommend vegetables and fruits. Most of them are 0 points except for some starchy vegetables.

I do have several food allergies so I can avoid the foods I need to avoid and I can still follow the plan.

I don't eat the Weight Watchers foods.

4.) Activity.

They include activity in their program so it keeps me focused on daily activity. It is easy to get off track with travel, work, etc. So it is good to have the added support and focus here. Time to increase some of my strength workouts and change my cardio workouts.

5.) New Habits.

Making one small change at a time towards your goal. This increases success because you aren't overwhelmed with too many new habits.

"You have more POWER than you think you do." Jennifer Hudson

Sometimes it is just learning how to use our power.

In conclusion, it works.

"Believe: Because it works"  Weight Watchers

I have lost weight each time I join Weight Watchers.  So my goal is to stick with it until I get to my goal weight and then become a lifetime member so I stay at goal weight. It may take me some time to reach my goal. I still have 30-40 pounds to lose. I'm a slow loser but consistent for the last 3 1/2 years.  I have lost 70 pounds. If I can lose 70, I can lose 30-40 more. Just keep believing, attending weigh-ins, meetings, eating healthy, exercise and staying focused on your goals.'
