punkeemunkee'smom replied: Thanks... It sounds good from people who have done it but there is no real way to find out unless you try it-I mean as far as point values etc...
Shelly. Is that what you did?
cameragirl21 replied: you really don't need to pay anything, you just total up your daily points and stick within the allotment. If you tell me how much you weigh, I can tell you your daily point range and give you the calculation to easily figure out how many points are in everything you eat.
Most say it worked like a dream, I got bored with it within a week, I just don't have the patience to count points all the time but I may still try it again at some point as I know it works. I just have to find the patience....
If you want me to give you your points and prefer to relay your weight in private, feel free to pm me.

lovemy2 replied: Well worth it if you do it and stick to it - I lost 40 lbs before my wedding - I have tried several (ok more than several  ) times after having kids and haven't been able to stick to it - mostly because I keep trying to do it on line - and really need to go to the meetings and stick to it - its a great way to lose weight and change your eating lifestyle......but be forwarned - it works the right way to lose weight - a pound or two at a time...
Good luck - let me know if you do it - I am planning on going back to meetings in a couple weeks - we can be online buddies - it really helps to have a buddy....

 Yay! We can be online buddies! And then we can meet up when we are smokin hot! 
punkeemunkee'smom replied:
That is awesome Shelly! I knew you were losing but did not realize it was WW that you were using. Do you get used to the point counting?
Sarah&Mackenzie replied: I have been doing it for 2 years now and have lost 40 pounds. I could have lost more, but I didn't stick to it 100% the whole time. I weigh in every week, but don't stay for the meetings. I think weighing in every week helps me stick to it a little better.
punkeemunkee'smom replied:
Is that what you did Sarah? Ok well then I am there!  You look fantastic Girlie!!! I almost PMed you yesterday to ask you how you had done it-that and I had my hair cut into a pixie cut very close to yours and I thought of you
Do you think 2 lbs a week is a high goal if you stick to it? I will be fine during the week but it is on the weekends when Bill is home that I always tend to slip up!
mummy2girls replied:
Yes you do.... its easy. and then at time you learn so you dont have to go through the book of foods to find how much 1 cup of potatoes are... I have HUGE book full of foods so if you need anythign let me know:)
MomToJade&Jordan replied: I just started counting points again today. It works really well if you stick to it. I'm just doing it on my own though.
Sarah&Mackenzie replied:
That is where I am bad, on the weekends!!! I don't really have an amount I want to lose each week. I just want to lose!!
Good Luck Abbie! I am sure you will do great!
