Must Have Weight Watchers Tools For Success

There aren’t many but there is a couple of Weight Watchers Tools that will make all the difference in your WW Journey. It’s the New Year, so weight loss resolutions are in full swing right now! I don’t know about you, but I love the start of the New Year; it’s like a clean slate.  Also, it is the perfect time for reflection on the past year and personal growth. 

I am excited to say I maintained a lifetime from Dec 2018 to Sept 2019.  I am about 20 lbs away from where I want to be and can only blame my actions for being where I am.  (Be sure to follow me on -> Instagram as well share a lot of my journey there) I know how I gained; now it is time to get my act back together and ditch the excuses! As with any weight loss or exercise regimen, check with your doctor; starting with a psychical will give you some great starting points and expectations from your doctors.

A Note From Jenny

When starting any healthy lifestyle, consult a doctor to address any personal health concerns. Some things can only be addressed medically and by a professional. Blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before starting and at least once a year, as these all can affect an active lifestyle.

With so many different programs, such as Weight Watchers, Keto, and macros, it can be hard to know what to pick. (If you’re interested in Weight Watchers, you can sign up -> here and sign up for $10/month for 10 months.)

I personally use the app Myfitnesspal to track my food.  I use macros and focus on High Protein (calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and rotate through cuts and maintenance calories. (Use a calculator like this -> here)  . I did WW for years, but now that I am more maintenance, with cuts throughout the year, and focusing on mobility with strength training. There is no right or wrong answer, as all bodies are different.

Starting Or Restarting With Weight Watchers AKA WW:

Complete a “back to basics” plan or start on the right foot. It doesn’t matter what part of your weight loss journey you are in. If you are feeling stuck, returning to basics for tracking your food is a great way to give yourself a good kickstart.   Now you need a set of tools to make this journey a bit easier to take part in.

Weight Watchers Online Tools

I love that our smartphones and e-tools are available at our fingertips! The Weight Watchers app lets you scan a barcode and know the total number of points immediately! Including looking up points at a restaurant and activity point value of workouts,

If you are like me and always have your phone on you, friendly reminders can be set up to help you to remember to track. The reminders keep tracking in the front of my mind and help remind me to keep an eye on my points.

Fitness Tracker:

I am partial to my Fitbit, and the steps are automatically converted into WW Activity points.  There are also Fitbit challenges; you can motivate your friends or have your friends motivate you, which will help keep you moving and on track!  I love that Amazon has different color options, and the most competitive pricing for ordering a Fitbit; I have used trackers for years and feel lost without them if I forget. I mean, do the steps count if they aren’t tracked??

Paper Journal Or Planner:

I love the new journal from Weight Watchers. Even though I track with my E-tools, I still like to write some things out. I will track everything on my phone and then, at night, write it all out.  For some reason, I seem more in tune with my choices if I write them down.  

Plus, you can add notes for workouts you liked, new recipes, and your feelings.  It’s important to remember this isn’t just about the number on the scale.  I highly suggest having a journal for writing in.

Food Scale:

This is one of my most frequently used things when making my meals. I use my food scale to measure my chips to the gram (let’s face it, sometimes you get more that way than by counting chips). I use the scale to weigh meat by the ounce and liquids by the fluid ounce. Plus, it’s the best way to get the most accurate measurement for tracking.

Bathroom Scale And Cloth Tape:

The bathroom scale is one of the biggest ways to measure your weight loss, but it’s important to remember to record your body inches. You should also keep track of your clothing and shoe sizes; sometimes, the scale won’t move, but you lose pant sizes. It is so motivating on those weeks the scale doesn’t move to be able to say you lost inches, shoe size, or even bra size!

Measuring Cups and SpoonsMeasuring shot glassesPyrex Measuring Cup

 

Measuring Cups and Spoons:

I have about four sets of measuring spoons and measuring cups. I use so many during the day that having some extra sets keeps me from not using them because they are dirty. Yes, it is a few more dishes, but it also stops me from guesstimating my measurements! You would be amazed at what a ¼ cup or 1 tbsp looks like compared to what you picture!

Water Bottle and Water Cups:

I have a bit of an obsession, but you know it’s a great way to ensure I am getting in my water intake! I struggle with water intake, but if I have ice water with me all the time, I am less likely to stop and grab a soda on the go!! Using fun cups can help to encourage the water habit. Be sure to find out from your doctor the amount of water you should be drinking to help you to lose weight! Check out Amazon’s selection -> here.

Support Groups and Buddies:

This is the most important part for me! Make sure you have friends or family you can lean on for support. I have a friend who helps keep me on track. I have discussed what I need from her: a reality check when I go off plan! Local Weight Watcher meetings are a great place to support and start new friendships!
