Weight Watchers, Because it Works

That's the new slogan for Weight Watchers that you hear Jennifer Hudson espousing in the commercials. There are lots of critics that keep saying she must've had weight loss surgery and that there's no way she's doing the Weight Watchers program. As someone who knows my area's regional Weight Watchers manager, I know that a person cannot endorse the program unless they've actually done it. Also, if she'd had weight loss surgery, she'd look like an old crone. Rapid weight loss ages you like nothing else ever will.

I've said all of that to give my own example of "because it works". Last week I gained 4.6lbs because of a lovely sweets binge and a complete and total lack of tracking my food intake. After the passage of my 36th birthday and a nice pep talk to myself, I got back on plan. I tracked, ate sweets in moderation, and exercised which resulted in a loss of 3.6lbs. My intake of sweets in moderation included two (count 'em, two) slices of cheesecake on the day after my birthday. So for anyone who was holding on to skepticism about Weight Watchers, take that! Also, I didn't eat a single salad during the past week, so no, you don't need to eat rabbit food to lose weight.

  1. Woohoo!I knew you could do it. Those slides of cheesecake must've been pencil thin. Pop thinks a slice of cake is 1/4 of the cake. HAH! TW is missing her nectarines and plums now that the season is over.

  2. Weight Watchers does work. Most people just give up on it and then blame the program. Congratulations on your 3.6 lb loss. That's a big one. Toki and I send love and prrrrrs

  3. Those slices were the standard 1/16 of a cheesecake, CK :-). I had them both in one sitting. Hope TW finds a new fruit to love.

  4. You're right, Anne, people do give up and then blame the program. They say "It didn't work." It didn't work because they didn't follow it.

  5. 1/16th? That's ALL? I eat at least half the thing in one slice. A slice is a slice, right? Right? Huh? Aren't I right? Yes, I am.

  6. WW does work, and it's a healthy way of eating. The best way to do it. It's the people who make it not work. We're human and sometimes fall off the wagon. It's one of the hardest things to accomplish when one likes to eat.

  7. I don't like to think about it. Only my mummy needs to worry about weight. I demand to eat what I want.
