Now I have been with Weight Watchers since 2011, I have been thru several versions of the plan. I also know the reason I haven’t always been successful isn’t Weight Watchers fault but my own. Truth is, I know that it would have been a lot worse without Weight Watchers.

WHAT IS Weight Watchers?
When starting a new weight loss program or diet change, consult a doctor or physician about personal health concerns. It is a good idea to have blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before and during being on the WW program.
New to Weight Watchers?? Also known as WW, a weight loss program uses points assigned to food to track and lose weight. When you sign up, you take an assessment that will assign you a point value to eat daily and a weekly allowance. You can carry over 4 points from the day into your weekly budget, which is handy when you need more points.
I have been on Weight Watchers since 2011. They have had Points Plus Value, WW Smartpoints, Blue Plan, Green Plan, Purple Plan, WW Personal Points, and now Weight Watchers Points. The new Weight Watchers Simplified plan is the new program launched in November 2022, similar to previous plans like WW Smartpoints, with some color plans. ( You can see the Weight Watchers Zero Point Foods 2023 -> here)
No matter the WW plan, they work to help you learn healthy eating habits. I have hit lifetime goal weight several times but stopped operating the plan and tracking, so the weight does creep back on.
Right now, you can head on over -> here and sign up for WW for $10 a month for your first six months.
How To Stay Motivated With Weight Watchers aka WW:
Allow yourself splurge meals with weekly points. When you get so stuck on eating everything perfectly healthy you get frustrated and tired of the program. You just start craving the pizza loaded with bad things, or the huge ice cream dish. That is when you use those weekly points to splurge a bit. Once your craving has been handled, you can move forward with renewed energy.
Look for new recipes. Don’t get stuck in the rut of eating bland and basic foods. Start looking online for great new recipes. Weight Watcher’s website and groups also have great recipes shared in them. Mix things up, and add fresh herbs and tons of seasonings to make a delicious meal for your family that satisfies your need for something different. Plus WW aka Weight Watchers puts out some fantastic cookbooks too!
Join a group for support. You may have started out doing Weight Watchers in a specific group, but joining a new group can really jump-start your passion for the program. Don’t want to go to a local group? Check out the online support groups for Weight Watchers, the Instagram community. There are also apps like Spark People or Noom to help you get in touch with others who can offer encouragement.
Join an exercise class. This doesn’t directly have anything to do with the Weight Watchers meal plan. However, a class is a great way to jump-start your metabolism and motivate you. Meeting new people, getting your exercise in, and seeing the scale move a bit more will stay motivated. Even if you are already exercising regularly, this is a great choice to help get you back on track by changing things up a bit.
These tips for how to stay motivated with Weigh Watchers will keep you on track to losing weight and getting healthy. With the flexibility of the points system, Weight Watchers makes it much easier to manage a diet and weight loss plan.

And make sure you are filling up on the 0 point foods. No one can be happy while hungry all the time 🙁

Looking for new recipes is the fun of meal planning! While I’m not doing Weight Watchers, I am trying to be more resourceful with my meal planning, and looking around for things to eat with as many ingredients in common with our normal menu is a very similar task (it has to fit into a certain budget of points or ingredients) and I’ve already found plenty of things to add to the mix!

Staying motivated to any life change is hard. I agree with needing to try new recipes. I get in a rut of the same old stuff and get bored. That’s what makes me want to cheat.

I am going to WW meetings and finding them helpful. Even so I get discouraged when I don’t lose every week.
