Needing Support

I've done many different programs and the only one that works for me is
WW's. I've been off the program for awhile and since then I have put back
on all the weight that I had lost. I'm starting again. I can use all the
support I can get. I need to lose the weight for my health.

Welcome to the group Margie. Good luck!

Hi Margie,

and welcome! Even though I maybe struggling at the moment, I sincerely
believe that of all the many and varied (and hyped) diets out there, WW is
the best. I hope it works again for you (and me!)

Margie: Welcome! Keep at it one day ... or even one meal ... at a
time. Drink lots of water. Keep your journal. Forgive yourself if
you go off track. Read this NG. Slow but steady is wins!
Those are my best suggestions.

Hi and welcome to the group, Margie! I sure wish you good luck on WW this
time around. It's the only thing that has worked for me, I haven't lost as
much as I want to yet but I'm going to get there someday...

Here's a short synopsis by Joyce -

How many points you can eat is only based on your current weight, as you
lose
weight those points allowed will decrease (logic is that your body will need
less
to operate). At 183 pounds and based on the new US flexpoints system, you
will
have a set point target of 24. In addition to this you are allowed 35
flexpoints
to be used throughout the week ... as well as any activity points you earn
on a
particular day. When your weight drops to 175, your target drops to 22
points ...
weight reaches 150, target once again drop to 20 points. 3 servings of
dairy of
recommended per day, 5 servings of fruit and veggies, minimum of 6 glasses
of
water.

To calculate food and activity points, I love this computer desktop
calculator ...
http://www.xmission.com/~zythra/downloads/points.exe

WW suggests your ideal weight should be somewhere between 116 and 145
depending on
your age.

The basic plan is easy. Eat at least your minimum daily number of points.
Points
do not carry over from day to day. You are allotted 35 weekly flexpoints to
be
used at your discretion ... can divide them up and use daily (would be an
additional 5 points per day) or save them and use them for a special
occassion
during the week. Activity points are earned based when exercising, but can
ONLY
be used on the day they are earned.

If you can afford $15/month, the online ww program might be a great thing
for you
to look into. There is lots of information available, as well as the food
point
database and journaling system.

Disclaimer: As an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, asdww is unusual in that
most of the people who participate are respectful, considerate folks who
freely share their experience with and knowledge of WW, weight loss, and
maintenance. Yet occasionally, spammers, trolls, and flamers show up to post
advertising, false information, insults, and the like. Nearly all of the
time, people like this are just trying to yank someone's chain. Most of the
regulars on this newsgroup offer their experience as a suggestion to try if
you're stuck, but are quick to advise that each person has to find what
works for him/herself. If someone posts something that doesn't sound right
to you, ask the newsgroup, ask your WW leader, or ask your health
professional.

Much success on your weight loss journey! WW works!

Hi Margie. Welcome aboard and back to WW's. Like you, I had put all my weight
back on - plus some. This time, I will be getting down to maintenance no
matter how long it takes. I wish you all the success in the world.
