Hello! I wanted to start up a ongoing support thread for all of us who are actively seeking the extra help from either regular Weight Watchers or most especially Weight Watchers Online.

I do not have the money to fork over for extra fees to attend the WW meetings etc. I also am not sure how many banded folks there are on their message board. I thought this would be a good place to hang out, discuss how well or not well we are staying within our points system, our extra activities and whatnot.

We can share ideas or new recipes, or just anything related to Weight Watchers... and even keep each other accountable.

Help me, I need support!!

does WW only have 2 options when attending classes in person --- the monthly pass & the weekly pay ?

didn't they used to have a pre-pay plan ? i don't like the monthly pass because the last time i did that and cancelled, they had some crazy cancellation loophole where they were able to charge me for additional month.

i am thinking seriously about actually JOINING because i've been playing around with the same pounds since november (up a few, down a few, up a few, down a few....)

:ohmy:

I have been doing weight watchers at home for 4 weeks. I have the books from joining a while back so i'm not actually joining but doing the points on my own. I woulkd like to weigh in on mondays and have support from you guys if thats ok. I have been doing pretty good but if I actually had to post my weight each week I think I would do better. Next Monday I will weigh in and start. So how are you guys doing with weght watchers. Are you losing? How many points are you allowed? Today I had Fried bolonga for breakfast with egg and a peper jack cheese string. Lunch I had light baebecu pringles if any of you like chipe these are great and only have 70 calories per 14. I had I Peice dieced chicken green pepper and onion cooked in water. A pepper Jack cheese stick. For supper I'm having corn on the cob with chicken onions and peppers. About 7 I have snack wich is bag light popcorn. My points are 30. I do not use alloawence points or exercise ponts. I exercise at the gym for an hour at 500 in the morning. I take the dog for a two mile walk at the park after i drop the kids off at school After I eat luch I use treadmill for 30 minutes and before bed I use treadmill for 30 minutes. I got banded Oct 23 2009.

thanks for posting thought i was gonna have to go it alone. well i just started the ww thing. back when i went to ww there wasnt any points thats for sure i went as a child. so the points fore new to me but, i get 42 points a day i guess. i dont think i will be useing them all though. but, im sure gonna give it a try thats for sure as im paying for it. does anyone know if you get the 3month pass can you still attend the meetings. i plan on attending 2 or 3 meetings a wk. think i will start weightin on tuesdays. so as for 2day i think it went ok. so far.

Yes you can go to the meetings with the three month pass but you have to print it and show them. I did that awhile back. I find if I don't eat all my point I don't lose as good. But the extra and the activity points I do get by without using those. How long have you had the band? How much weight have you lost? I eat alot of fat free and light stuff cause I can have more food. I spred my points out so It seems like I'm eating all day but I'm not and it has sped my metabolism up. I eat breakfast at 7 snack 9 lunch at 11 snack at 1 supper at 430-500 snack at 7:30. I Know this sounds crazy but it works for me. I eat the most points at breakfast and lunch. If you have any pointers feel free to clue me in.I'm weighing in Monday and you next Tuesday? We can post it each week? Or if we need more support we can get on as needed. Thanks so much for being my weight watcher buddy LOL!

JBG...have u already been banded? I was banded 12/15/09....

L Boogie I was banded on oct 23 2009. I had to have fluid taken out of my band so its pretty much empty at the moment. Ater my last fill I kept throwing up and waited to long to have an unfill. I had swelled so much he had to take my fluid out. But next week I get fluid back thanks goodness it has been four long weeks. I gained during that time so I'm trying to lose the same 7 pounds agian and that is not cool. I think I might get on everday for support but just log my weight in once a week. Yesterday was so very hard because all I wanted to do was eat. It is that time of the month for seven full days I want to eat the house down. Do you all have that problem that one time a month? I have done pretty good this morning. Egg, Light pringles.Snack string cheese 6 points. Lunch Pepper onion and 3oz chicken sprinkle 1/4 cup mozzerla cheese and melt, One small bad fritos 8 points. snack cheese string 2 points. supp er same as lucnch 8 points. snack popcorn light 1 point. The last five points I save for if I get hungery before bed. I'm hooked on the chicken and onions for some reason so I guess I'll eat it till I get tired and move on to something else. what is the hardest part of the day for you guys to control your hunger? Mine is 6-9. Do you regret getting the band? I'm so glad to have all you guys support. It also saves me money from having to join weight watchers when I can weigh in and have you guys to answer too.Welp have a good day guys.:thumbup:

ok saturday was an ok day while at work i usually grab some conoli's however i didnt this day. i felt so proud it that moment. i did however have 2mini snickers and was totally happy with that. i used my pedometer yesterday and it says i burned off 687calories while walking around at work and that totally rocks. so here is what i had.

b-1/2 of an ommlette w/cheese 2pts

s-apple sauce, 1 pj cheese stix 4pts

d-2 sloppy joes 10pts

s-1/2c sorburt 2pts,2mini snickers 3pts

32ozs of water w/ 2crystal lites. =30pts used

I doing WW at work. I love it. I need to keep a better food tracker. I am going on a cruise in 4weeks, and if I keep track of my walking and my food I may can lose another 8 to 10 lbs before then. I will let you all know how I do. 186 goal 176.

I did so good mon-friday but sat I blew it and then was mad and did sunday. I did not work out or walk sat sun. I had fought my band being empty as long as I could. I'm so mad at myself the 6 pounds I lost last week are going to show on the scale in the morning. talk about falling off the band wagon I had pizza and mcdonalds and hashbrown cassrole. This is the worst I have ate since nov 09 before my band. It is my own fault but I'm going to do better this week. I cant wait till they put my fluid back this week. I'm so glad the rest of you stayed strong over the weekend. start back at gym in morning and i'm going to stay an extra hour. My dr is going to be so dissapointed that I gained during my unfill.

Hi all...

I'm 1 month out from surgery and on soft foods now....

Does WW really work for all of you??? What about the carbs??? My surgeon advocates low carb diet. I am intrested to know how you guys really do this as if it would help me I would do it online as well. I'm at a high weight so I know I would have a lot of points to use...I'm just really curious how this works for you all....

You can send me a private email if you'd like just put lap band or ww in the subject line...
