Which diet

[pandamonium]

Hi all

I've just joined and am wondering if everyone is following the same diet plan I've been thinking about joining weight watchers. Is it worth it ?

Hi and welcome

pandamonium no not everyone is following the same diet - but a lot are

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), or in the drop down on the 'Posts' page (it says 'arrange by'). Read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you.

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI (can be found in the pinned Newbie post) to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for 😊

Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate 😊

To the right of the HOME page (bottom on a mobile), you'll find Events. In there, you'll find links to our daily Weigh-in's (you will choose just one day per week), our Daily Diary, where we post our menu and exercise plans, for accountability, advice and support - which is great to get ideas of what other people are eating and I have to confess to nicking some of their menu's and our “What's happening today” thread, where we pop in for a chat.

Be aware, that the HU app doesn't give you access to all of our important features, so we advise that you use the full website page

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too 😊

Wishing you all the best on your weight loss journey

Well I joined W Watchers earlier this year but only because it was free in conjunction with the local council I found because I was being weighed each week I really was very good So if you are like me and lack willpower then yes it's brilliant Otherwise if you are strong then I wouldn't bother as it's just the same as calorie counting it might be worth just joining for a month and get the books as I did find them very good as you are allowed points and everything is listed and really if you stick to that you can't go wrong Nothing is prohibited either so that was good news I had 12 weeks there and it definitely helped me on the right road

Good luck would be interested to hear how you get on x
