Is it worth joining Weight Watchers to lose 4kg?

Answer 1

It depnds on whether or not you feel you need help to accomplish the goal. If you know you want to lose the weight but are unsure how to do it then something like weight watchers will help you learn what you need to learn to lose the weight. There are also other options like online research that can help you find tips and information to better understand how to lose the weight.

Joining a program to lose weight is not really about how much weight you have to lose but whether or not you need the moral support, encouragement and guidance from someone else.

If you are internally motivated you probably don't need a group. If you are externally motivated (by others and external factors) then you may need a group.

You should also go to a site like Weight Watchers to determine if you even need to lose weight. Role models seem to be encouraging women to be skinnier and skinnier these days and it's not necessarily healthy so start by making sure you know what your weight range is and how much you should lose to keep healthy.

Best of luck to you, what ever option you decide to go with, I know you can do it!

Answer 2

It's up to you. Are you sure you need to lose 4kg or are you just unhappy with your self-image.

Going to a slimmers club does have some advantages, as my friend as recently proved. She has been going for 18 months and has dropped from a size 24 to a 16.

However, I feel that slimming clubs still focus too much on food. Anybody who is over-weight usually has an eating disorder of some sort. I have tried these clubs in the past, but none of them dealt with my relationship with food.

I have been steadily losing weight for the last 12 months, simply by addressing my "need" to eat lots. I now usually only serve myself the same portion size that I give to my 7 year old. I find that it's plenty. I drink lots of water and I've recently started a running programme.

My running programme, with controlled eating, has worked wonders. In the first week (and you might not believe this) I lost a total of 7.5 inches from my body. 4.5 of these were from my back-fat.

I simply started off with doing a warm-up walk, then I run for 1 minute and then walk briskly for 3. Doing this until I have covered a mile. Then I have a brisk walk home as part of my cool-down. Each week I increase my running time slightly and decrease the walking times.

The best thing about this, is the time you have on your own to think your plans through, without interruption.

Good luck

Answer 3

Joining weight watchers would be good for the support you will need to lose any amount of weight. Knowing others are in the same boat helps a lot. Also you will learn how to keep it off.

Answer 4

Don't join anyone diet program until you try to lose weight on your own first. Eat 500 calories less a day, that will lead to a 1lb loss a week. And do about 30mins of exercise every 3-5 days, that should lead to another 1lbs loss. So you should be able to lose at 1-2 pounds a week from just eating less and exercising.

If that doesn't work, then try WW. I heard out of all the diet programs out there, that one is the best.

Answer 5

I don't think so. You just need the right motivation not to eat the wrongs things at the wrongs times. And exercise! Even if it is just walking where you would have usually taken the bus or car.

The secret is to burn more calories than you take in. Can be done in a few weeks. I've done it! Even bette, get a friend to lose weight with you!

I've heard weight watchers is very expensive, although they do, apparently get results. Personally, I'd do it myself!

Good Luck!

Answer 6

One thing that helped me lose weight was following the glycemic diet. I lost about 40 lbs total. It's a pretty good diet and you don't really have to starve your self. You watch your calories, cut out the bad stuff that raises your blood sugar and exercise. The first two days you can have 600 calories, the next two days 800, then two days of 1000 and on the seventh day, you can have 2000 calories. It works because it keeps your metabolism from getting in a rut and it gives you days to splurge a little. Try to google it or if you want more info, msg me. I'll see if I can find the pamphlets I have laying around my desk. Good Luck.

Answer 7

i do no longer think of everyone needs to drop some weight slowly, yet regrettably this is the way it works. I even have not at all been element of the burden watchers application, yet I do basically like the belief for 2 motives. First it provides the duty piece because you would be there weighing in each and every week. the 2d piece it provides is peer help that's useful in any problematic subject. each and every physique enable you to be conscious of nutrition recurring and exercising, that's genuine, even nevertheless i think of that's needed the best thank you to proper nutrition recurring, nutritional training, and proper exercising.

if you want to shift the weight, even though it's not much, weight watchers is probably the best - as it's about lifestyle and losing it in a healthy way. most likely to result in you keeping it off than any other method.

Yes. Go for it. I lost 2 stones with weight watchers. Kept it going for quite a while - now, sadly, I seem to have put it back on - but that's my fault, not WW.
