Ive not done very well at all, tried doing slimming world myself but do not have the willpower. I would only like to loose about 7lbs would I be able to join weight watchers???

I think I need to go somewhere where they weigh you and tell you what you should be eating, etc.

I am 5ft 2 and weigh 8st 4, Im in my normal BMI so dont know whether they would not accept me if I went???
 
Hi

Minimum joining weight for your height is 8st 2lb. If you lost 7lb you would be at what they say is the minimum healthy weight for you (BMI 20).

I have been at WW for 3 weeks now and i agree that it does help when you have to go to be weighed. I've been a lot stricter with myself because i dont want the embarrassment!! I also only wanted to lose around 1/2 a stone and i've nearly done it already, which would never have happened if i had tried on my own.

So would I be able to join then???? I cant see any other way I can stick to it.

I know to some people that may think what is the point but I have been just over 7st until I got pregnant so although Im not big I am bigger than what I have ever been and Im finding it hard to accept myself at my new weight.
 
I've just joined Tesco Diets online, £30 for 10 weeks.

You get a meal plan but if you dont like one of the options you can choose an alternative from hundreds of others.

It gives you the choice of cooking your own meals and has loads of recipes, or you can choose from loads of ready meals.

Just as an example, one of my days would be:

BREAKFAST: Cheese on toast, Cereal and Piece of Fruit with a glass of orange juice.

DINNER: Beans on toast with a glass of milk.

TEA: Chicken sausages with beans & mash

SNACK: 3 biscuits with a glass of milk

And you can print off your shopping list so you can buy everything you need each week. They give you days for weigh-ins and you just keep a record of it online.

I start on Sunday. I would NEVER go to a weight watchers meeting or anything like that, I prefer to do things on my own 8)

Yes you can. You have to be at least 5lb above the minimum weight for your height......and you are 7lb above. so you will be ok to join. It is a lot harder when you only have a little bit to lose though. You get less points than normal for your food, and i've found that i have to do exercise 3 times a week to make sure i lose something. Its coming off slowly but anything is better than nothing!

Good luck,

Oh that is good then.

Is it hard having to weigh everyone out. What do you do when you are not at home???
