"Will you be weighing in today?"
These are the famous words of the wonderful women who work at Weight watchers.
They are all fantastic people and in the event you aren't aware - one cannot be employed at Weight watchers as a leader or reception or anywhere that interfaces with the public unless you have been a weight watcher and are at goal weight.
I love the idea that the women who weigh me have been on my side of the scale. That's one of the most important reasons that I stay with this group. That and the program is the the healthiest one out there and has the most long term successes. Somehow the scales of justice seem in my favor knowing that these people have walked in my shoes.
So I have no particular favorite, though I used to. I have discovered that all scales are actually created equal and there is no validity to "waiting for the one that usually shows the loss"
I did that for a lot of years.
If you want to show a loss, you need to follow the program and attend meetings.
Not that I am trying to be a commercial here - I could so easily break into "be an After, stay an after".... and all the hoopla that goes along with that.
But I am my own walking advertisement. I lost at the scale this week 4.4 lbs.
To be fair, I didn't weigh in last week as I had way too many things going on what with work and a 70's party that night.
I can't really say that this is working because all of a sudden "I got it". I didn't get "it" at all. When you go from no romance in your life to some, even if it's not in the way you want it, the motivation level goes up. And you feel better about yourself and feel more attractive.
Especially when they are watching you from behind as you saunter out of the bar the night before you weigh in. and comment positively on what was seen... I admit it - I LOVED that.
No matter how good or bad the reason for the motiviation is, I am channeling the energy that it generates into myself and all the improvements it can make on me.
Regardless of the reason - I lost 4.4 lbs. And I am looking and feeling FANTASTIC.

I hear ya, Contessa. I've done the WW thing with a fair amount of success. Last year I lost 20 lbs in about 4 months but ultimately I got bored with the process, started skipping meetings...and well, you know what happens. 15 of it came back.
I've found that low carb programs work best for me and my body chemistry. I'm now on a new program that I can't say enough about. I've lost 13 pounds in 3 weeks.
In fact, my total concentration has caused me to neglect Peet Fointed as well as most of those I read... in favor of a focus on a new one at scaleslave.wordpress.com
I know it's a struggle but you are obviously dong something right. Do what works for you and let it build up speed.
