Weddingbee boards

I'm thinking of joining again, I already have all the materials.. I just get sick of counting.

Motivate me! What have you lost on WW so far?

It isss expensive! I did WW about 5 years ago, and it cost $12 per week. They gave you basic things you needed, but they had books that cost extra for eating out and grocery shopping with brands in them. I bought a "kit' for like $23. The basic materials they give you have everything you need to know in them, so if you wanted to skip the meetings, you could probably find teh books you need on ebay or somewhere like that!

I am going to skip the meetings.. I want to go, but I don't want to spend that much each week.. and my work schedule will most likely interfere alot. The meetings are really motivational though, so I would highly reccommend them for sure!

I was just looking into it this morning!

I didn't get a chance to dig up details, but I think you can do the all online WW for like $6/ a week now. It gets you access to all of their tools, and you don't have to go to meetings (which is hard for me to schedule too). I think I'm going to do the all online version.

(I keep vacillating back and forth on it though)

Their regular plan, which includes weekly meetings, is $40/ month.

$6/week online?!?! I'm looking into that for sure, I can't afford money or time to go to the meetings.

I do sparkpeople- which is similar to WW Online- but its FREE!

I'm following the points system, but I'm not paying for the meetings, etc. The last time I joined WW was in 2008 so I figured I would just use that info. I have several cookbooks as well. It's fun to cook with all our new toys.

Post Wedding (November 7) - I have lost 10 pounds and DH has lost 12 pounds. I've lost 40 total, but now I'm back down to that 40 after the wedding and honeymoon and all those "I don't care I'm eating and drinking whatever I want - it's my wedding/honeymoon" pounds.

Current goals - 10% of my current weight lost by my 30th birthday (March 27); workout 5 days a week (I was doing this, but yesterday was the first day back on the workout plan post wedding - SCARY)

I need accountability buddies though besides my man. :)

I go back to keeping track of points whenever I want to get serious about losing weight.  I lost 20 pounds about this time last year, then my then BF moved in and things went astray.  Knowing my wedding dress could arrive in a month or two has made me determined to lose another 20 pounds.  I have never joined online or a group though, mostly because I'm too stubborn to pay someone to help me lose weight.

I'm doing WW right now, and truthfully, it's the meetings that keep me motivated.  I need to have to pay someone to look at the scale and tell me how my week was, otherwise I come up with lots of excuses as to why the scale stayed the same or went up (water weight, ate before weighing myself, wearing necklace, etc).  I'm doing WW @ Work, and it was $178 for 17 weeks.  I'm on week 5 right now and have lost 6.8lbs so far. 

I just signed  up for the online program. I'm good about exercising but suck at eating well, and in portions that are right. It was $54 for a 3 month membership, and I get access to all of the online tools.

I thought I could do this by myself, but I weighed myself this morning after the holidays and I'm at 182... right where I was in August when I committed to losing weight. So- I signed up!
