Lounge might be the wrong place but I need to unload

17. Totally agree about Weight Watchers.

For me, though, it wasn't the meetings. I don't like sitting through stuff like that, especially when it's full of people who seem to know each other from forever and I feel like the odd person out (I'm not exactly the sociable kind anyway).

The accountability that WW gave me was my having to keep track of everything I ate from week to week. I stopped going once I reached my goal -- in a lot of ways I think that was a mistake because I think I need the double benefits of tracking and a weekly weigh-in to keep me on track. I think my weight right now is fine, according to the guidelines, and I exercise often during the week,but something's been nagging at me to begin going back. I've tried keeping food diaries on my own off and on and find that I don't keep up with them, whereas when I was checking in week to week with WW, I did.

Being aware of when, why, what, and how you eat is half the battle of losing weight.
