Losing Weight with Starscream

[goalie204]

im goin a little nuts lately with the eating, thinking of joining weight watchers online. Maybe if i spend money it will help, i duno anymore ;/

I found weight watchers great for learning how to balance my food intake. Learning about what foods were worse or better, and how to watch my portions was great, even if it was just following along with my wife.

Now I just tend to ignore it all, so I'm thinking about getting my wife to send the guides and tools along. I know I need it.

Good luck.

Join up, get all the material (guides, points scale, etc) then leave. Don't pay the monthly WW fees unless you want someone to support you each month. You can have that here for free.

If you can afford the $15 a month for the online plan, I would recommend it. The fact that I knew I was paying for it did help motivate me to make sure I was actually recording what I ate everyday. If you think you will stay dedicated to paper and pencil tracking then Andys suggestion is probably better.. but I never remembered to write anything down when I actually ate, so the online database made it quite easy to go back in find values for the meals. It also lets ya save 'favorites' so if you eat certain things often, you just have one click to add those do your daily allowance.

The other feature I found helpful with the online tracking was the weigh-in chart tracking. Now maybe you are savvy enough to create a excel chart etc to track this, but I honestly think that seeing the steady downslope of the chart while I was doing the diet was one of the most motivating factors.


I haven't really checked in much since the start of this.. but it looks like you guys are doing really well, and staying motivated. Keep up the good work!
