Weight Watchers PointsPlus Review: Weigh-in 11 Results

Last week was my eleventh weigh-in during my review of the Weight Watchers PointsPlus program and I am happy to report that I have passed a milestone ... I've lost 20 pounds. Technically, 20.1 to be exact; I must admit that little .1 on the end makes my smile a little bigger.

Since folks can expect to lose one to two pounds a week on Weight Watchers, I am right on track!

Next week I will be posting a three-month-review/wrap-up post and tell you about my some of experiences a little more in detail, as well as some pros and cons of the Weight Watchers plan and how it compares to other plans I have tried. Come back and check it out!

Note: Weight Watchers has provided me with free access to the online version of their program, and other tools, for me to complete my review of the new PointsPlus program. I am in no way being compensated by Weight Watchers.

Weight Watchers Review: Final January Weigh-In

It's 30 days down on my trial of the new Weight Watchers PointsPlus program. The results of my final weigh-in for January? A total of 7.9 pounds lost! I am quite pleased and I am right on target for the 1 to 2 pounds per week that is recommended as a safe weight-loss rate (and that just happens to be exactly what someone on the Weight Watchers program can expect to lose!).

They say it takes 30 days for anything to become a habit, and here are a few habits that are really helping me to stick with the program:

Weight Watchers Review: Weigh-in Results

As I am entering week six of my Weight Watchers PointsPlus program review, my weigh-in results for today are a grand total of 12.2 pounds lost! (People on Weight Watchers can expect to lose 1-2 pounds a week.)

I have been asked a few questions about my review so far that I thought I would address tonight:

Are you going to meetings?
No, I am following the program completely online.

You tried previous versions of Weight Watchers. Which do you prefer?
This version!

You said last week you always measure servings of things like dressing at home. What do you do when you eat out?
Honestly, I don't eat out as much as I used to, but when I do I ask for condiments to be served "on the side" and I sometimes measure them using a shot glass or a "take out" condiment cup that is either one or two tablespoons.

How much weight did you lose previously on Weight Watchers?
I lost 18 in pounds in just over four months when I tried a previous version of the program.

What do you like most about this version?
The ability to eat almost all fruits and vegetables without "spending" PointsPlus values on them has helped me to greatly increase my intake.

Were you trying to lose weight before starting the new program?
I wasn't following a certain diet. I was focusing on maintaining the weight I had previously lost (by controlling portions, mainly). I would lose a few pounds here and there, but not consistently.

NutriSystem Weigh-In

I have weighed in after my first full week and my total loss is ... 4.3 pounds! It's important to remember, though, that most people lose a significant amount of weight their first week on any diet. A good portion of it is actually water weight, so I must bear in mind that not all four pounds is actual fat loss, but water loss.

The true test will be the coming weeks and I will be happy losing two pounds a week from now on (the average loss on most diets, and the most you really shoud regularly lose per week anyway), so on with the trial!
