anyone on WW??

[elk]

I just joined weight watchers on line a week ago and I really like it.

I keep wishing some TE sisters are on this; the ww lists are a little snarky...

so...anyone here on it?

A little snarky? General is like a viper pit! I'm a member, but I haven't been following it too closely these days. Maybe I will start up again next week...

On and off. Off lately. The cycling group on Fitness challenge or whatever it's called these days is ok. I've actually met a number of the folks from there.

I should really start up again.

I joined 10 months ago, and have lost a bit over 30 pounds. I attend meetings, but also use the online tools.

The boards over there are terrible, except for the 50+ (which I don't really spend any time on) and the vegetarian board. It's much like TE.

I am on it, online. I don't go to their boards, too much OCD and know-it-alls. It seems like a lot of people on there just want to attack people not using the plan the way they think is right. I definitely don't follow it to a T but I am doing okay. It is helping me be more aware of what I am eating and try to cook more.

I lost 40 lbs several years ago but moved and got less focused on cooking and living right. I am not trying to lose it again, about 10 lbs down, 25-30 to go depending on where I feel my goal weight is. I struggle to log on weekends, which reminds me I need to log now. What I found last time is my body does not feel good to me at those arbitrary height goals. I got thin and lean at 123 but felt I couldn't enjoy anything to maintain it. A year later my mom told me I looked sickly thin at that weight and she is obsessed with getting thin again! I am happier at 130-135 which is at the very top of the recommended weight for my age and height. Rubbish.

glad to hear my intuition was "on" after 3 messages...holy cow! although i did get some valuable info if i disregard the tone.

just started. maybe i'll keep this going and bump it..sending a call out...if i have a question you all can help me answer!

cycling is great for activity points...although an hour at an avg of 14mph should be worth more than 4...


Aggie...a +1 for listening to your body
DivingB......I'm impressed!!!

It looks like they just use the BMI tables, which do not work for everyone. I'm 64.75 inches tall and weigh 149. That puts me at the top of their chart. But I have 22% body fat. If I kept my lean body mass the same to get their recommendation, I'd have like 15% body fat. I don't think that would be attractive.
