Since my blog is all about happiness, wellness and health, I feel it is important to relay healthy information to my readers. I am not getting any type of products or payment for this post. In addition, I just want to share information about something that has worked well for me. The mission of my blog is to help others by sharing good, healthy stuff!!! Follow me on my journey with the Weight Watchers Freestyle program.
In May, I had to go to my doctor because I was having dizzy spells. Most of my appointments were usually with nurse practitioners so I was surprised to get an appointment with my actual doctor. I hadn’t seen her in several years. I knew that I had gained weight because we had recently gone on vacation and my shorts and bathing suits from last summer didn’t fit. My doctor likes to get a weight at every one of her appointments so her nurse had me get on the scale before the appointment. UGH!!! It was the heaviest I had ever been:(
My doctor made a comment that my weight was “creeping up”. I’ll say it is!! When my husband got home from work I said, “I’m joining Weight Watchers. Do you want to join me?” He said yes and that we could go to weigh-ins together. Yes!!! Let’s do this.
SUCCESS
That was 6 weeks ago and, as a result, I am happy to say that I am down 16 pounds!!! Yee-ha! I had a physical appointment with my nurse practitioner today and she was so impressed with the weight loss. I have to say that I am too. It hasn’t always been easy, but now that I am in the groove and routine of it, I love it. If you are thinking of joining or are a present member, I am going to share some resources and tips that have worked for me.
RECIPES
A girl at one of the meetings told us all about Drizzle Me Skinny It is my favorite Weight Watchers specific recipe site. Everything that I have made from her site has been yummy. They are easy recipes with common ingredients. I can’t say enough about it.
SNACKS
My other go-to is Enlightened Ice Cream bars. OMG…so good!!! The coffee chip, birthday cake, and toasted almond are my favorites. Coffee chip and birthday cake are 3 points and toasted almond is 2 points. Furthermore, they are my absolute favorite snack and have gotten me through some tougher days.
Are you doing the Weight Watchers Freestyle program? What are your go-to meals or snacks?
My friend is doing this program and really likes it. It sounds like this is a good weight loss program.
It is really great.
I’m currently not doing the Weight Watchers Freestyle program. However, I’ve considered it in the past. One of my favorite snacks is watermelon. It’s low in calories which I love.

Yes!!!! I eat a lot of watermelon.
It is so great that you lost all that weight and we all would love to get on a program like that. I think exercise and diet go hand in hand and it has helped me.
Spinning is my current favorite exercise.
I have heard so many good things about this program. I have actually been thinking about signing up myself.
Give it a try…I think you’ll love it.
Way to go! This program does not sound like the typical diet, which is a wonderful thing. Being able to enjoy the occasional treat is so much better than depriving yourself.

It’s really not a diet…it’s a change in eating habits.
Enlightened is the best, isn’t it? I have it sometimes for a snack in the day. I can’t believe how good they are!
sooooooo goooooodddd!!!!
I know a few people who are doing weight watchers and they seem to be doing so well taking on the plan, it seems really well thought out!
It has really worked for me.
I have a few friends who do Weight Watchers. They all seem to be really happy with their progress and they eat some great food.
It is a great program.
16 pounds is a significant loss. You must be feeling all kinds of good about yourself!
Thank you and yes!!!!
What a great accomplishment! I am so happy for you! I hear so many great things about Weight Watchers! More success to come for you I am sure!

I’m totally going to look into this. I did Weight Watchers YEARS ago and loved it.

A few of my friends are on WW right now. I lost a lot of weight in the past thanks to WW!
WW just recently changed and I’m sure you’ll like it.
Well done on losing 16 pounds! That is really amazing and inspiring. I have heard amazing things about Enlightened ice cream. I need to try this soon

I haven’t been on Weight Watchers but it’s nice to know that it’s working for you. Congrats on your weight loss.

16 pounds in 6 weeks is awesome!! I have tried a lot of programs without a ton of success, but haven’t tried Weight Watchers yet. Maybe it’s finally time to give it a go.
I avoided WW for years, but the new Freestyle program has really worked for me.
I LOVE Weight Watchers! When you do the program it works, and it works so well! I’m so happy it’s working for you 😀 Also, thanks for that link for the website you like; i”m always looking for new great sites, and even though i’m not doing WW now, I still eat within my point range from last time!
