I am going to use this post to answer some frequenty asked questions about the whole weight loss/Weight Watchers thing...
Q: Why do you like WW?
A: I like it for several reasons. First of all you eat real food so it something you can do forever once you learn the diet. Secondly you can eat whatever food you want as long as you stay within your given points. They build in extra points per week so that a dinner out is doable. The diet works with real life. Lastly, it works for me!
I have tried lots of different diets over the years. This works so I am sold.
Q: Why do you do the meetings instead of just WW online?
A: There just isn't enough accountability for me with the online program. There is something about those meetings that really helps. Stepping on a scale in front of a person each week is different then weighing yourself.
Q: What are some of your favorite things to eat that are still doable on WW?
A: I have lots of things I like to eat on WW, but my "go to" things that I always try and have around the house are..
- popcorn (one whole bag is 2 pts)
- turkey hotdogs (great for a quick lunch)
- Luna Bars (these are great for on the go breakfast or lunch)
- Crystal Light lemonade
- WW ice cream candy bars (taste like a snickers ice cream bar..so good!)
- oatmeal for breakfast
- fruit
- Smartfood multi-grain popcorn snacks
Q: How tall are you and what was your starting weight and weight now?
A: I am 5'1". I started at 148 and now I'm 128. This is the first time I've seen the 120s since my wedding.
Q: Are you going to keep on going or are you sticking with your current weight?
A: I think I am going to keep on going for a while. With WW you can choose to go on maintenance and maintain your weight or continue to lose. I am pretty happy with my current weight and want to be realistic but at the same time would like to lose a little more. We'll see what happens.
Q: What kind of jeans are you going to get?
A: I think I'm getting these unless I see something better. I love the way they fit.
Thats it! If there is anything else you want to know leave me a comment and I'll try my best to answer. Have a good night!

Just a random question because I have no idea, does Weight Watchers cost anything? Congrats, again, on your accomplishment! I don't know when your actual birthday is so I'll say it again--Happy Birthday:)
Go Erin! Way to reach your goal! I've always been curious about WW, so thanks for the scoop. Also Paige denim rocks!...I love my Paiges sooo much! Perfect Bday present :)
Thanks ladies! Nicole, WW has a monthly fee of about $40. Needless to say I am anxious to make lifetime status so I can stop paying that! AFter 6 weeks of maintaining your weight that happens.
Cute jeans! So glad you are getting them. Loved all the WW info, congrats again, very awesome. Excited to see you soon in Chicago
