I recently started the Weight Watchers program and I am wondering if it is
common to get shaky or jittery right after joining the program? I eat all my target points every day and I even use some of my flex points on some days. But in the afternoon or early evening, I will start to get uncontrollably shaky/jittery and I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what you did to help it go away. Thanks a lot!

Have you given up coffee/tea, or drastically reduced the amount of sugar you
eat? These sound like withdrawal symtoms of some sort. Try sucking on a lolly and seeing if that helps temporarily. Otherwise, I'd suggest going to your doctor to get your blood sugar levels checked. -- Julie. 93.5/73.5/74 (WW)/72 (Personal) kg 205.7/161.7/162.8 (WW)/158 (Personal) lb "Jennifer Sarver" wrote in message ...

Sometimes that means your protein levels are too low and you need to have a
little something to improve it. I know when I get like that and it rarely happens, I normally will have a glass of milk or a little bit of cheese and it gets better.

You might want to use a few more flex points for a bit. Just to see if it
is the dietary changes. It could also be just plain old nerves from changing your habits. It is a big change, or it was for me. "Jennifer Sarver" wrote in message ...

Yes, being on WW has caused me to drastically reduce the amount of sugar I
eat. Now that I think about it, whenever I feel this way, I do have really bad cravings for candy, cakes and sodas! I'll try your suggestion and see if it helps.
