Hi there
I've been on the WeightWatchers online plan for a year or so and had lost around 1 and a half stone (from 11.5 down to 10 stone). BUT, then Christmas happened, and I haven't really got back on track since!
A couple of friends of mine have lost huge amounts of weight by going to SW classes and both recommended that SW was a much better plan to follow than WW. So, I've cancelled my online WW membership and I'm setting off on my SW journey tomorrow! I'm not able to go to classes as there isn't a class near me which is on a day/time that I can attend. I'm contemplating paying for the three months of online membership (the £60 or so payment might encourage me to stick at the diet!), or I might just order the food directories from eBay and go it alone ...
I don't have a huge amount of weight to lose really. I haven't dared step on the scales since the start of the year so I'd estimate I'm about 147lbs at the moment, and I'd like to get down to 130lbs or so.
I've been vegan for around 4 years, and was vegetarian for 20 or so years before then, but I've never really had a healthy and balanced diet. It's very easy to be a junk-food scoffing wine-glugging vegan y'see! Hopefully SW will educate me into eating more of the right kinds of foods, and I'll shed those excess pounds along the way! I have to say, being a pasta lover, I'm quite sceptical about the SW green day plan - I can't see how being allowed to eat unlimited amounts of pasta and other carbs will make me lose weight at all! But, when I look at my two friends (who've lost about 10 stone between them on SW), I think that surely it must work.
Fingers crossed anyway, and here's to a healthy happy future!
