i too used to do weight watchers and lost very quickly. but i just got tired of counting. if you do the new points plus system, you need to purchase the calculator. i like both, this is just easier for me. but i can't wait to see the answers as well!

i know it's frustrating, but remember this: inches is how you look in your clothes. weight is just a number that no one knows. it's not like you go around wearing a shirt that has how much you weigh on it. it's important to look good in what you're wearing too! hang in there!

i'm a binge eater myself. some people don't understand that taking food away from some people is like taking alcohol from an alcoholic. it's so hard and i'm an emotional eater too. just remember to take it day by day. you can do this. hang a picture on your fridge or cabinet of how you want to look and really take a good…

i went through the same feeling last week. after i completed my first week last week, i had lost nothing, but i thought, "i'm not gonna give up because everyone tells me it takes about 2 weeks..." well, after 2 weeks, i finally saw a change on the scales. make sure and go back and look at your diary and make sure you are…

interesting. can't wait to see some responses. i'm struggling to lose weight at 1200 calories and want to dip below and probably will. i know several people who eat less than 1200 and look wonderful! i'm 5 feet tall, so i'm having a hard time trying to figure out why 1200 calories a day is good for me and someone who is…

good luck! after today i will have completed my first week. i didn't stay under my calorie goal very many days, BUT it's better than i would've done without this program! i just try to think of it as day by day - not week by week!

i just ordered a new scale too. i'm a little nervous myself about what it will show, but now i will know what to do!

i can't wait to read other comments posted on this because that's a good question. i've always heard though the faster you lose it, the faster you will gain it back. it's so hard to take it slow when everyone around you is doing so well. that's my problem. but i have to remember i don't have as much to lose so i'm going to…

i've never been successful enough to get to where you are even, but i've always heard that when you get to trying to lose your last 10 pounds or less, it will be slow slow slow. a girl in my boot camp hit a plateau for about 6 month, but then all of a sudden, a lot more came off! please don't quit - DRIVE THROUGH AND DON'T…

i'm a firm believer in couch to 5k. i did it myself and have shared it with several people. it's a great plan. the pace is good, but don't fret if you can't keep up. i remember having to do some weeks more than once until i built up my stamina. i started c25k last january, completed my first 5k last may and just ran my…

i just completed my first half marathon - awesome experience!

oh no, i've been with a personal trainer before, believe me, it's not muscle. when i hit about 25, it's like my metabolism came to a hault. i just can't afford to keep doing boot camp every month!

if i can figure out how to open my diary, i surely will!

according to some personal trainers, at first you may believe your thighs are getting bulkier (after all, you are building muscle), but after a while your body will shed the fat lying underneath and you will be left with beautiful runner's legs! it may take a while, but it will come!

awesome!

good luck to you. it's not gonna be easy, but we can do it.
