I have not tried WW, but I have heard great things about them. Personally, I have just lost 28 lbs and 18 1/2 inches off my body in the past 7 weeks (and more to go!). I workout 3-5 days/week. My workout includes at least 40 minutes on the eliptical machine (less impact on my feet/knees/back than the treadmill which was causing pain) for cardio. Also, nautilus machine workout to target the areas of my body that I really want to sculpt and see change in (abs, butt, hips, thighs...). I am not bulking up at all in the muscles, I know this concerns a lot of women. I am toning my muscles. While doing that I feel like I can move/get around easier and the weight is just pooring off of me. I eat a maximum of 1000 calories a day, I gave up: beef, caffeine, & soda. I force myself to drink
A LOT of water. I eat meat (4 1/2 oz) once a day, either for lunch or dinner. Meat meaning: boneless skinless chicken, pork tenderloin, tilapia, salmon, shrimp...all low fat stuff. I do not add salt to any of my food and watch my sodium intake. I measure everything. I eat lots of fruits, veggies, barenaked brand granola...limit the saturated fat greatly and totally eliminate trans fats. READ FOOD LABELS, pay attention to what the serving size is. Too many consumers get tricked by not reading the serving size to which the calories and fat are referring to. I do go to a medical weight loss clinic because I am so addicted to food and crave food in the evening. That was a lot of my problem too. So, I take a prescription appetite suppressant. Now, I do not eat after 7 pm anymore and because I'm conditioning myself to be that way I haven't had a problem on days when I've forgotten to take my afternoon pill. I also take chromium, one-a-day weight smart multivitamin, calcium, and omega 3 capsules. Research the dosage levels before you take anything! Going to my med. weight loss clinic really helps me because they weigh me every week (which weight watchers does too) and measure me every other week. Motivation seems to be leading me to success. I received an email with a picture of me and I was so embarrassed and shocked at how I looked. The thought that other people looked at this picture upset me so much. I want to feel happy and proud when I look at myself in the mirror. I want to live a long life. I want my children/family to be proud of me. I don't want to miss out on life anymore. So, come on let's get healthy! Hope this helps you or encourages you in some way, best wishes! :)
