Help with Weight Watchers??? PLEASE HELP!??


Question: I used to do ww and stopped for a while so I know the basic principal but as I understand it the plan just changed. Can someone tell me the breakdown for daily points now starting from the mid 300s to the mid 200s? And do you still get the 35 flex points for the week? I also need to know how much the new starter kit cost at the meeting. I would like to know the cost of the new books (or starter kit), the new journal (alone), & the pedometer.
Also, is anyone else out there going to try to stick to a diet? If anyone wants a diet buddy please give me your e-mail address and I will contact you!
Answers: Here is a link to their site. It should lead you to the info you need.

I guess many of us are starting a diet this week. I did WW years ago, but I resented spending that money for something I quickly realized I could do myself. This is the plan I use when I decide it's time to diet. I have recommended it to a lot of people and most seem to like it:

1. Eat three nutritious meals and three snacks everyday. Cut out junk food. You probably need about 1500 to 1800 calories a day. Many people make the mistake of not eating enough when they try to lose weight and then become discouraged.

2. Drink lots of water - at least 8 big glasses as day. Lots of water is essential. Stop drinking soda and other drinks with useless calories. Eat fresh fruit instead of fruit juices - the juices are very high in calories.

3. Begin a simple weight lifting program at home or at a gym. Ordinary household items (tins of soup, for example) can actually serve as weights for beginners. Buy yourself a good weight lifting book for women. Actually the dummies series of books has done a rather good one.

4. Walk, walk, walk. Buy yourself a pedometer and aim for 10,000 steps a day.

5. Record everything you eat and all your exercise to make sure you have a calorie deficit . Two of the sites I've included will help you do that. Basically buring more calories than you take in leads to weight loss. You need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose one pound.

6. If you drive, do less of it and park at the back of the parking lot instead of close to the door. Always use stairs - never the elevator or escalator.

7. A mini stepper is an easy piece to equipment to have at home and gives great results. I bought mine at a second hand store for $4. even if you use it for a minute or two several times a day it can make a big difference.

I hope these thoughts help. You can do this. Good luck with it.
