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.

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. PAT in VA/USA

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... 🙂

want to look for that later in the week, or do a backwards search for last Sunday's post.

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 ...

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. Elaine K
