I lost 60 pounds in 9 months on Weight Watchers in 2016, walking only for 2.5 - 3 miles/day.

I tried it in the past. Didn't care for the food, but it wasn't horrible. I gave the rest to my husband who didn't like it, and he eats anything and everything! I didn't lose on Nutrisystem only because I didn't stick to their foods.

That a maintenance weight range is much easier to stick to than a specific weight. And yes to weighing yourself weekly to stay on track!

I've been doing WW Freestyle for a few weeks, and it has been working great. However this week I seem to be hungrier, even with the extra protein. I have rolled over points a couple days, and used 28/35 of my weeklies. I checked my calories on MFP today, and some days this week I was only getting 850 - 900 calories! Way…

Great advice dewd2, thx so much! I am really hesitant about eating more to lose more. I can see if I am hungry, but I am not going to eat just to add up more calories!

Thanks so much for your response Azdak! Makes a lot of sense, esp #5 & 6. I did actually have my "whoosh" this morning. Down 2.4 pounds!

I lost 60 pounds on WW last year, got to Lifetime. I've maintained my weight, but now up 5 - 6 pounds after joining the gym 6 months ago. I am consistent with my workouts, but I think I have out-grown WW as COGypsy mentioned. I can't seem to find the right balance of smart points with my workout routine so MFP is a better…

I lost 60 pounds last year on WW Smartpoints, but now I double track smartpoints/MFP for maintenance. And yes, the ssprengel23 plan is awesome!! If you are still on WW, check it out. It's worked well for me without feeling deprived! Good luck :-)

I lost 60 pounds last year on WW. Been maintaining/at Lifetime for 9 months. Although I liked the number, I was "flabby" in some areas. 3 months ago I got a personal trainer. Wish I did it sooner! I am toning up, getting stronger. WW is excellent for weight loss, but not so much for fitness.

I agree with what others posted. I do Pilates 2x/week (reformer private session & class session), strength training and cardio. All works hand in hand!!

I stay away from the scale at that time. I go up the day I get it, until a few days after it ends.

I lost 60 pounds last year on WW, got to goal. I have maintained my weight for 8 months. However, I just started working out 4x/week and like many posters said, WW does not really promote eating your fitpoints so I have been SO hungry on my 'normal points'. I have been double tracking on MFP and there are days I am only…

Same with me. When I don't get enough sleep, I have crazy cravings the next day for junk food when I normally have a 'clean diet'. Unfortunately that's me today ... but I'm fighting off the cravings!!

I am the same, 5'7" and weigh 151 (usually fluctuate between 147 - 149). I would like to get down to 140 - 142. I work out with a personal trainer 2x/week, 2x/week Pilates sessions & 2x/week cardio. I get 10,000 steps daily on my fit bit. My personal trainer told me I need to eat 1,625 cal/day to lose 0.5 - 1 pounds/week…

I lost 60 pounds on WW last year, have kept it off. But WW is not good for maintenance, esp if you add in exercise. I am now double tracking WW smart points (since I am a Lifetime free member) and MFP calories to get a more accurate assessment.

I agree with Christine_72 ... it's the larger deficit that helps me lose the weight, not necessarily eating low calories. And I too wish I could eat more and lose more, but without the "deficit" this doesn't work for me.

I am currently on WW, lost 60 pounds last year, got to goal and now maintaining. I started working out last month, and in terms of WW points, I have no idea how much more to eat given my increased activity (and WW actually is not good at giving advice on this) so I just started double tracking points and calories here.…

I agree with @Christine_72. I am 5'7, 146-148 range, 44 years old. If I were to get to 140, I look sickly. At my lowest, I was 138 (26 years old) and I didn't look good at all!!! I am in a healthy range that I can actually maintain without starving myself :-)

I think it depends on what weight you can maintain at. I am 5'7, 146, at goal weight. At 140 'look' really thin, but that's just my build. Plus when I was 140 I was 25 (now 44). Do what you feel comfortable with :-)

I lost 60 pounds last year using WW Smart Points. Loved it! I am in month 6 of maintenance, but struggling to maintain (not because of the program).

I can gain from 3 - 5 pounds during that time. During ovulation I have a slight gain too. It's temporary, but I know what you mean about seeing that number go up, esp when eating on plan!

I chose 145 as my goal weight. I'm 5'7", 44 years old. I lost most of my weight on Weight Watchers. For my height, the range is 130 - 159, so I chose the middle. It's definitely where I feel most comfortable, and able to maintain.

When I was losing weight, I would "whoosh" every month if I was consistent with eating within my points (on Weight Watchers). I would lose .6 one week, then gain 1.2, then lose 3.6 and then lose another 3.4!

I started WW last year Feb, lost 58 pounds by November. I think it is a great program to lose weight, but MFP is better for maintaining.

I drink it after a high sodium day, helps with bloat but does nothing in regards to weight loss.

I feel less bloated when I drink lots of water. I drink 100 oz+ per day. Even during TOM, I no longer retain water or feel bloated if I drink this amount of water daily.

I'm the same as avskk. I get the water weight gain AFTER my period. I thought I was the only one. It's so annoying but at least it's consistent!
