if  you're on WEIGHT WATCHERS, do you stay hungry, or do you get full, or just feel satisfied?

I myself have never been on weight watchers but I have a couple friends and one was successful and one was not. The one that did not lose much said it was because she cheated all the time. So bottom line is what works for one might not work for another.  I believe it will work if you really want it to and as for cost I don't remember. Good luck though if you decide to try it.

I am not on the weight watchers plan yet, but i have been researching it.  A friend's wife had lost 95lbs on it.  My doctor and another medical professional (who is on it herself) had recommended the plan to me.  I like fast food, so most say to do the flex plan.  I have been only having fast food only about once a week for a while, but I get caught up in it with lunches with co-workers more than I should!!  I have just joined the on-line forum (I want to view it before I pay) to see if I want to join this plan or try to just do it on my own or free first.\n\nCongratulations on losing the weight. That's great!

Happy and BUSY has worked for me before, because you are so engaged with doing fun things that you don't think of food so much.\n\nAlso, this isn't really a MOOD, but nauseated/sick as a dog works pretty well, too--like when you first go overseas and the water doesn't agree with you.  I've lost like 15 pounds without trying, a couple of times.

I am on my second day. So far so good. The book is outstanding. This I believe is the best book on the scientific reason on weight. Talk about a well balanced way of eating. The menu,recipes,anti oxidants,protein,etc...is complete. This way of eating is what the body has been screaming for.The body works as the great creation God made it to be.I have been on Weight Watchers. This is the next step.It fills in the gaps that Weight Watchers does not.\nI am very excited about this way of eating.

Read my article on calorie consumption and how you can lessen the amount of calories you eat here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweek.htm\nI lost 54 lbs, you can see my before and after picture here: http://www.healthandstrength.net\nAnd perhaps the foods you eat are not giving you enough vitamins, and your body wants more....try taking a multi or eating more foods with lots of nutrients like vegetables.  Processed foods have nothing and alot of people feel hungry right away.  Try also drinking more water and eating more fiber.  Those are two ways to feel fuller as well\nGood luck!

it does work, because by having you count points ( the way i did it...) you realize what you are eating and most importantly, you learn portion control. Sometimes it seemed to me that i was still hungry after eating their recommended portion, but if i waited a few minutes before going for another serving, i found that i didn't want it.  And if i got hungry later, i could eat no points things and be satisifed.

I have tried everything (haven't we all) and learned that Weight Watchers appealed best to my obsessive-compulsive nature.  The point-counting really works for me.  Tom Hanks also really said it best when asked how he dropped so much weight for the island part of "Castaway".... he simply told the reporter all he had to do was "Eat less, exercise more."  The willpower thing is what gets me, but if you can stick to it for a couple of weeks, you will see results and keep plugging along.  GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

Everyone's body reacts differently.  I lost 30 lbs on Weight Watchers.  On the other hand, I followed South Beach precisely and lost only 3 lbs in Phase 1, so I stopped.  \n\nIn my opinion, Weight Watchers is easier to stick with, and therefore it is more effective. Plus, South Beach is more expensive due to the high cost of the "ok" foods, even when you factor in the fee for the Weight Watchers weekly meeting.

I know this may sound silly, but increase your water consumption.  I am coming off a 70lb weight loss and found the key to be drinking water.  If I felt hungry I drank water and found that it satisfied my craving.  I also used protion control at meal times, but the primary catalyst I genuinely believe was water.\nMy numbers :\n02/01/06 - 273\n06/23/06 - 203\n\n... good luck

This can be really hard.  I've been on a journey of losing weight for the last year or so and recently felt myself slipping.  I put a picture of my old fat self on the fridge and whenever I'm tempted to do that 'mindless' eating, I take a look at the picture.  It helps.  You know that saying, 'nothing tastes as good as thin feels'....well its absolutely true.

I think from experience that the idea of being consumed by wanting to be healthy and have a good body and be happy with myself stresses me out.  Although, I feel wonderful when I eat healthy (both mentally and physically), I also feel just as good when I exercise.  I guess it depends on how you look at it.  If you're wondering, try looking at the situation with a fitness aspect to it, like, "This is my reward, I want it, I will earn it, I will do it. "

Is it possible that you are eating less?  If the fatty foods are more satisfying, you may actually be consuming less calories.  Healthy foods may be less satisfying so you may be eating more to feel full.  You just need to find the right combination of foods that will keep you at a healthy weight.

my mother used to teach weight watchers class,& the two things that i do all the time is ...1)drink a large glass of water right before you eat(the water will take up space in your stomach & you will not eat as much &...2) take 20 minutes to eat what ever you are having. your body will send your brain a message that you have been eating for 20 minutes ...you must be full! also take a 30 minute walk after eating & don't eat after 9:00pm

Oh I'm on a diet to loose weight now. It's going well so far. I eat when I'm really hungry and I never overeat. I drink a lot of water while eating. I eat fruits rather than candys and snacks. When I'm lazy to cook, I eat like canned soup (love progresso soups) rather than junk food like pizza. I chew a lot when I eat.

Yes It worked - and it was wonderful - It does take a lot of discipline but you see the weight coming off and it makes you feel soooo good- The nutrients they sell ( I think thats how they make their money) are what gets you going and fill in where you miss food.\nI used to weigh 149 when I went on it - and I weighed 116 when I was done - I did it in 4 months and it stayed off for a while- Of course if you dont make your diet a habit, you will gain the weight back slowly- I weigh 135 now ( 7 years later).\nYou should try it - Good luck

Seeing results. Sometimes I feel hopeless as hell, especially now that summer time is here. And I have these weird days where I exercise alot and eat less but then I lose nothing. The problem is you need to keep it up. If I do that for like 4-6 days and then I see a pound or two lost, just that number on the scale motivates me becasue it tells me it IS possible to lose weight. The smaller the number becomes the more motivated I am to work out becasue I see it's actually doing something. \n\nAlso, it's the toned body look. Seeing fit people just makes me want to look like them.
