    Going Back to Weight Watchers...

    Hi All,

    After much consideration I have decided that I am going to go back to WW. I find on Atkins that by the end of every week I am cheating on LOW FAT stuff. So if I was on WW...I would be losing. Atkins just isn't the WOE for me. I need to do something where I can eat everything in moderation and I feel that WW is going to give me the tools I need.

    I will still be on the boards for the exercise challenges. I find it so motivating adn I am working out like a fiend!

    I just wanted everyone to know! All your support is awesome! I won't be a stranger to the board but wanted you to know my choice!

    Thanks all!
    Katie

      Well we're all different, and ultimately you have to chose what's right for you that you can stick with for a lifetime. I know plenty of people who have lost weight and kept it off for years with weight watchers, and really learned how to eat better. In fact my best friend tried Atkins a couple of years ago but was having the same issues, ultimately she chose WW and she's done really well with it and is definitely healthy. I know that for me personally , I have no control or dicipline unless I am eating low carb. LC curbs my hunger to the point of not needing all that willpower lol. I wish you the best! As long as you stick to your plan and keep working out like a fiend, you'll be at goal before you know it

          I am so excited about exercise too! Thanks for your encouragement!!!

          You know the main thing was watching the Biggest Loser! I really wanted to do those recipes and work out like them. That's the kind of lifestyle that I want to have so I am working towards it!


          You are all such inspiration!!! Keep up the good work and I"ll keep you posted!

                  You gave Atkins a good try. Even the great Doctor said it was not for everyone. You have to do what you can do for life. Great job on the exercise!

                      Re: Going Back to Weight Watchers...

                      Hi Katie. I was actually dwelling with the same issue about 3 weeks ago or so. It had been 6 whole months since I actually made real progress on Atkins. I kept cheating all the time.

                      I considered WW and even asked people who are doing it for more info. Well, I decided to give the real ATKINS another chance. I wanted to do this right for the last time before I made a decision. Well guess what? I started at 192 when I said that and now I'm at 183. I know it takes time but I just had to give it another chance.

                      Once you're convinced that you've done everything you can and done this the right way and still it's not for you, then chose something that is.

                      Good luck to you!!!!

                        I tried WW and ended up coming back to Atkins...I thought the same as you and wanted more variety in my life...I wanted to have more...only the problem was I had no will power on that diet and I kept have more and more and more...pretty soon I was lethargic and gaining weight again....So Now, I have come back to Atkins to stay and am going to make a go of it....My mom prefers the variety in her life too...so I know each person is going to find their own groove and Atkins is that for me...I wish you luck on your new plan....And wish me luck on my beginning exercise! lol
