Weight Watchers when not overweight

[Evans]

Hello everyone!

I have a little question.....I now have a healthy bmi hooray! But I guess I have some vanity pounds to lose.

I want to lose about 14lbs! So it would take my bmi from 24.5 down a little.

Anyway I know this diet works when people are overweight and maintaining. But what results have people have when wanting to lose a smaller amount?
I am almost ready to join online now but I just wanted to check.

Thanks

I think it will just come off slower for u. So for example I had 4 stone to lose and my first stone came off within 4 weeks. But since you only want to lose a stone and are already at a healthy BMi it could take u a few months to lose it iykwim. They say on average 1-2lbs a week so u could have that stone off within 7-14 weeks

Hi there, I agree with lisalu when I used to go to a class some people would lose anything like 3-6lbs a week but they had a lot more than me to lose but saying that I started at 10st 4lbs and lost 5lbs last week taking me into the 9s and that's with a healthy bmi I think it depends on the person and maybe their metabolism and possibly exercise I'm a cleaner and clean 2 houses a day and walk to work as I don't drive but I do no extra exercise during the week as I hate it lol! Good luck with it I'm sure you're be fine.

I signed up!

I exercise 6 days a week! I see loads of changes in my body.... But not the scales.

I lost 1 inch off my waist last month. But for some reason I am not losing.

My friend suggested ww as maybe I need to eat more than I am at the moment to kick me I to gear!!

I'd choose 1 inch over 1 lb anyday. But mentally in my head I set a goal over a year ago and I lost 40lbs and the last 14 seems so close.

Thanks for the words of wisdom guys!!

Wow well done on the 40lbs! And good luck with your remaining 14

You're exercising a lot, and you've lost inches so you're obviously losing fat. Perhaps the reason you don't weigh less is because you've gained muscle mass? Muscle weighs more than fat.
