I have ...I was honestly quite shocked to read this. I have been doing WW for 6 months now and found it really beneficial if you used the concept correctly! They have the buffer points for a reason and if you actually read what that was rather then giving your theory you would see it is to HELP people. As previously mentioned it is for occasions that crop up out of our control such as birthdays, christmas, celebrations etc. In a nut shell - rather then eating a meal out, feeling like you have messed up your diet, and then thinking oh what the heck I will throw the towel in - you use your extra points and continue as normal the following day! The weekly points are saved by WW for you....example you are entitled to 29 points a day, add 7 points (one days worth of the weekly points - 49 divided by 7 days = 7wp) THAT is your actual daily allowance. WW have just saved the points for you. Its about being balanced not faddy and it also allows for real life getting in the way once in a while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510462680189297110.post-74709160230890332902011-09-09T19:52:07.231+01:002011-09-09T19:52:07.231+01:00I've done WW and have lost a stone; kept it of...I've done WW and have lost a stone; kept it off, and found the whole thing fairly civilised. It has you thinking differently about food and makes you realistic about how much you can eat without being overweight. I feel pretty good about the whole thing having lost weight and having found a healthier eating pattern. and I still eat chocolate :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510462680189297110.post-52190484338932180342010-12-02T17:39:04.587+00:002010-12-02T17:39:04.587+00:00Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments - a...Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments - all and always welcome.

The extra points are there for you to be able to cope with real life situations like a meal out with friends or some wine at the weekend allowing small indulgences but ensuring that the indulgences don't go over board. <br /><br />If you stick to weightwatchers it works....FACT! Rather than slating WW perhaps the powers that be at this site should take some inspiration from itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510462680189297110.post-26648474268546253762010-11-30T17:26:55.539+00:002010-11-30T17:26:55.539+00:00I just had a client start with me this week becaus...I just had a client start with me this week because she has done WW for years and years and hasn't had time to read up on the 'new' diet and so is too ashamed to go to the meetings because for her it feels like another reason to feel inferior to the ones who are 'doing it right'! I wonder how many other people are feeling like that too.Sarah Turnerhttp://www.strategictherapy.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510462680189297110.post-65910428788264120702010-11-30T09:32:04.388+00:002010-11-30T09:32:04.388+00:00COME ON! stop the WW bashing!

They may give you 'extra' ProPoints to use but I found I HAD to use some of the extra points every day to stop myself from feeling so bloody hungry! I didn't fancy fresh fruit (which is 'free'), I fancied dried fruit (which is not free) so therefore I used more 'ProPoints' each day. I can't believe I was nearly sucked in by this system...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510462680189297110.post-20003966645250936022010-11-26T11:23:37.546+00:002010-11-26T11:23:37.546+00:00...And they (the 'poor desperate dieters')......And they (the 'poor desperate dieters') will still be obsessed with food and weight and body image, and they will STILL put on weight during or after WW, because bingeing on carrots is still a way of getting too many calories into a body that doesn't want more than it needs!Savylaetinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510462680189297110.post-28540731280428763782010-11-26T09:17:32.926+00:002010-11-26T09:17:32.926+00:00I'm sure there's a neat expression that su...I'm sure there's a neat expression that sums up what WW has done - something like, 'different day, same sh*t'! Someone put me right on what the expression actually is, please. Whatever, you get the picture - WW hasn't come up with a new plan, they've just tweaked their old one and poor desperate dieters will still be counting points and 'cheating' and saving points and 'borrowing' points from tomorrow ... and the diet will STILL fail them ... Hooray for Beyond Chocolate and an end to the diet madness!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
