Why Weight Watchers Works

My wife joined weight watchers several years ago and it worked for her.  I also lost some weight because she would cook weight watchers recipes and we cut down on the bad snacks we had in the house.  I was a terrible influence all the while.  I was always begging to eat fast food or get donuts.

I have a world class sweet tooth.  It is a real affliction!

She eventually got down to her goal weight and it was great.  Neither of us is very overweight.  Then almost two years ago she got pregnant.  With Twins!  So we ate.  She was eating for three, and I was there to support her.

Then the babies came and she started breast feeding and losing the weight.  I had gained a good fifteen pounds of sympathy weight.  I decided to lose the weight.  Weight watchers was offering their online component without a signup fee.  So I decided to get it.

I have an iPhone and I have been using the program for about two months.  We were planning a trip to Florida and I wanted to drop some pounds before we went.  I was extremely diligent in following the program.  I lost 14.2 pounds in five weeks!  It was pretty awesome.  Then I went to Florida and ate whatever I wanted.  I regained 10 pounds.

I know the program works as long as you stick to it.  I will be posting about my success and failures and giving the tips and tricks I use to make it work.

Thanks for checking it out.
