I am fairly new to Weight Watchers, started in September of this year (2015). I started with my mom so we both had an accountability partner so to speak. We signed up for online and for the meetings which I am loving! Our Saturday morning meetings are the best. The Group Leader Lissette is Amazesauce and the people are so fun.
I really didn't know what to except from WW when I started. It's such an "OLD" company I figured their ways would be old. I thought they would make me eat their boxed food which is high in sodium and not that great for you. I thought I would be starving. Eat less weigh less mentality. I was a little apprehensive about WW and the whole eat whatever you want and loss weight.. but is it healthy?!
It was more about portion control and eating the serving size instead of 5 serving sizes! I have pretty much tried every diet out there. I have a good understanding of what is healthy and what is just a FAD diet. I understand the need for Proteins, Veggies, Fats and Carbs. I know the concept of too much sugar is no good - holds water.. etc. I realize that there are "good fats" that our body needs.
WW had a decent concept on those items. I felt though that they could use an update on how to track said items. You need to be watching Fiber, Sugar, Sodium, Etc. So when talk of a "NEW" WW came about I was super duper excited - I knew it had to be something around the macros and counting them as well. This is a lifestyle my fit friends. This is not supposed to be a diet. Diets do not work. You have to commit to this and make it a lifestyle change not a quick fix.
When SmartPoints starting flying around the Internet and Instagram I was pretty excited. I don't mind that some things went up, because in turn Proteins went down which makes me smile big :) We need more proteins and less sugars in our life. Even if we are losing weight the other way, wouldn't you want to be losing weight the RIGHT way?! Smartpoints is the right way. So you have to log extra macros.. SO WHAT!!! So those cookies that you love went up 3 points. Don't eat them!
Beyond the scale is more about getting healthy while losing weight or even maintaining. Its not about just dropping pounds to drop pounds. You are not valued by the number on that square devil aka scale. Don't you care what you are putting in your body? Wouldn't you rather eat veggies and fruits - more proteins and better carbs than Sugar and Sodium and Saturated Fats?!
We all get nervous with change, but we are changing ourselves so why are we so scared about WW changing with us?! Times-are-a-changing people. Get with the times! This is a GOOD thing. We need this in our lives. You need this to be the best you, you can be!
