Weight Watchers?

[mrsdee1982]

I was overweight when I got pregnant.  During pregnancy I gained 40 pounds.  I am still 9 pounds above pre-pregnancy weight (16 weeks PP).  I have decided that I would really like to lose 80 pounds before I get pregnant again.  DH wants to start trying again when LO is 1.  I need to do something and I need help.  Tonight I joined weight watchers.  Anyone had any luck losing weight with them before?

I did! I wasn't an official member or anything but I lost 10 lbs following the points. I should do that again.

My doctor mentioned something about how they have a program for nursing moms. It takes into account the extra calories that you need. I haven't done it before, but she seemed pretty positive about it.

I'm doing it now. I've lost almost 9 pounds so far! It's super easy to track with their app. I am just doing the online version, not going to meetings.

My sister and mom have both done weight watchers with success. My sister lost about 60lbs when she paired it with exercise; I'm not sure what the time frame was. Are you breastfeeding? If so, I might be concerned about a diet that limits calories affecting my supply.

One of the questions the online profile asked was if I was a new mother.  It then asked if I was EBF, FF or a mix.  So I believe it accounts for breast feeding.  Here goes nothing!

I had success several years ago. I just have such a hard time tracking everything. I'd rather be working out but hot weather and no gym time equals two stinking says a week and that ain't going to get me anywhere! Good luck! If you follow the plan you will lose.

My friend swears by this app called 'lose it'. I haven't tried it yet though.

I've used Lose It successfully in the past. It's an easy way to track nutrition info and exercise to keep you within your goal range.

I think my friend set her weight goal a bit aggressive (2 pounds a week) so I had lunch with her yesterday and after that the app told her she could only have 50 calories for dinner. Unless she worked out. She is going to a wedding today so no wedding cake for her!

Anyone tried ACE? I'm thinking about getting some but at $60 a bottle it better be damn worth it.

I think I've dieted so much in the past, now my baby is saying fuck you. I was 15 lbs overweight when getting pregnant and now I'm still 10 or pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight, so I'm looking at a 30 lb weight loss.

I'm gonna check out the lose it, I use myfitness pal which sounds similar, and doing the Dukan diet so I'm basically only eating 1100-1300 calories a day.

I lost a lot of weight doing cross training/jogging/cross fit type exercises and the Dukan diet before my wedding but now..... Nothing.

I've tried weight watchers, south beach, you name it, I've tried it. Eating a healthy 1600-1800 calories a day means I'll never lose weight. I don't know what the f to do.

Has anyone done the Dukan diet?

I have not heard of it, but when I first ready your post, I thought it said Dunkin, as in donuts, and I thought "hell yeah, now there is a diet I can get behind!"
