Good luck! I've done WW about 6 times in the past 10 years....it really works! You definitely have to go to the meetings because you're held more accountable. I joined the first week of September weighing 175 lbs and wanted to get a little under my pre-pregnancy weight of 160-165lbs...well, now I'm at 143lbs! Hooray! I'm a 6/8 and I feel GREAT! I NEVER thought I'd be 20lbs less than my pre-pregnancy weight...I'm weighing what I did in my senior year of of high school. I am also trying to get down to 135 lbs (I'm 5'7").

Good luck! You just have to eat an extra 10pts per day as a nursing mom. Stick with it!

I knew about the program and I have planned on doing it after baby since I used to go before I got pregnant.  I'm with amy...I've done it successfully several times.  I'm sure you'll do great!

I may have to look more into that after my pregnancy... it sounds like a great idea. Let us know how well it works for you, maybe I'll steal the idea for myself :) My mom has done weight watchers a few years back, it worked pretty well for her for a while, and then I think she gave up. (Shamey, shamey, she's a quitter.)

Weight Watchers is awesome....I've done it several times....it teaches you how to eat normally so even when you go out to eat you make smart choices....I'm starting it again today.....I'm just doing it on my own being I have all of the stuff from before...Good luck with it....It'll totally work if you stick with it!  Lots of LUCK!
