Weight Watchers

My mother’s going to kill me for writing this — but she doesn’t have a Unilocal account so I’m in the clear. Weight Watchers helped her lose 50 lbs!!! I couldn’t be prouder of her — and it’s due to her dedication towards the WW program, made for everyday people to produce results.
To show my support, I would often accompany her to Monday night meetings, where members weigh in to check themselves on whether or not they are losing and this process is followed by a half-​hour meeting led by a veteran WW instructor. Even as a non-​member who is not looking to lose any weight, I always enjoyed the ‘talk theme’ of the night always focused on how to live a healthy life (in other words, they practice healthy lifestyles, not dieting.)
They’re commericals say it all: if the diet sounds ridiculous, it is! Weight Watchers teaches things like portion control, choosing the right foods, determining ones appetite, how to control uncontrollable dining scenarios (like at a neighborhood barbecue or a dinner party). They’re things most people don’t even consider if they are of a healthy weight — and I feel fortunate to have a broader understanding of food and my body.
Starting out, the average WW member tracks their daily points’ which are assigned to different foods: an apple is worth one point, cheese is two points, whipped cream is three points, etc. The points count for one serving of each food item so you can’t eat a pound of whipped cream and count it as three points.
Beyond the classes (meant for support and weekly accountability) there are WW cookbooks, grocery store foods, a magazine, and the list is building (like an empire of dieters). Smart Ones, the WW frozen foods are noticeably better quality than Lean Cuisine and they cost less than their rival brand.
If you are reading this and you or someone you know is wanting to lose some weight, it doesn’t hurt to check it out — it’s worked for thousands on not only women but men too.
