Weight Watchers Need Help

Check out www.sparkpeople.com. It's free to join.

Put in your measurements, put in your weight goal, put in your timeframe, and voila, it has things figured out for you. It does menus (3 meals a day plus snacks) for the calories you can consume. It also takes into account how much you are planning to exercise.

The person who created the web site did so after he sold a company to e-bay. He wants people to achieve their goals. You can have your own little web site to post blogs and pictures, I haven't really done that. But I've checked out other people for inspiration.

The main key for me was tracking my foods and exercise. I did not do the menus provided, but created a basic list of things I would eat. Entered that into my favorites in the food for SparkPeople, then I could click it for what I ate that day.

Their are articles you can read that I found helpful. There are groups you can join (I'm guessing there may be a "People with ADD looking to lose weight" group). There recipes. You can put in your own recipe and calculate the calories.

This is a full blown, real deal, we care about you and you reaching your weight goal place. It's no gimmicks.

For me, it wasn't just about the weight loss. It was about changing the way I eat and exercise for the rest of my life, and I did it one step/change at a time. I've held my weight off for 18 months now, and feel the best I ever have.

Good luck, you can do it.

just because you have ADD doesn't mean you are lazy...

You need to keep a log book - find something that makes it fit for you and your lifestyle....I don't do weight watchers - sorry - so I don't know much about it but what i see and hear from friends...they love it...

I would go into the WW 'store' near you and ask for help...i think on-line help is also available to you within WW....I am sorry I can't offer you more help than that!

GOOD LUCK!!

Hi S.,

I just started ww about 1 month ago. I found a great site, skinnytaste.com. I've tried several of her recipes and they are quite good. She has ww points listed for everything, old points system and the points plus, and tons of recipes.

Hope this helps.

Take care.

I agree to go in the WW meetings because they give out a pamplet each week and it has two reciepes on what to cook, easy to follow with the point value on it for the portion. I too have been there to loose the same weight over and over. I am in it for the long hall now.... trying to get to goal and staying there. It is taking a long time for me. So I understand where your coming from. I don't like to cook though LOL so I pretty much follow a rule of thumb to eat 1/2 the meal at a restaurant or home and I know it is less then the points listed in the books.

Check out emealz.com. It's pretty cool. They give you all these choice of different types of menus from different stores. I chose the low-fat menu from walmart for a family of 4-6. They give you recipes for 7 days dinners and a grocery list. The budget is from $75-85 per week. I like it bc someone else is doing the thinking for me and the meals are easy and for the most part really good. All you have to do is figure the points once and jot it down on your print out and then every time you make that recipe you'll know the points. Also, do you do WW online or in a group? Sometimes the group dynamic really helps. I am going to try again after this baby. I did it many years ago, got off about 40lbs and kept it off until I had kids, so stick with it. Good luck!!

Eat the frozen meals. They are ready to go with exact counts. Supplement with fresh veggies. If I remember correctly salad with salsa as dressing is free.
