I have been a Weight Watchers Online member now for 18 months. I lost 26kg in the first 10 months and have maintained my weight ever since. I personally think it is the easiest weight loss program I have ever done (and I have done a lot!) I find the online option perfect for me, I am quite driven and self motivated so I didnt need to go to meetings to have success, though I do know many people who need the support of meetings. Weight Watchers is flexible enough for you to choose whatever works for you.

I prefer a program like Weight Watchers than programs that provide food for you simply because you’re learning to prepare your own food using low fat and low sugar options. I feel that with the other programs you aren’t actually learning as you go so once you stop ordering their foods, you won’t know how to keep the weight off.

After trying unsuccessfully for years to eat healthily & lose weight I turned to weight watchers for support.

I have a long way to go to lose the weight that I need to but with the support of weight watchers I know that this is possible...I'm losing on average of 2kg per week & as yet havent had a week where I have gained weight since I started the weight watchers programme....Thanks weight watchers for giving me the confidence that I needed

With weight watchers I learned how to change my bad habits into good habits. By focusing on eating plenty of nutritious food I was always satisfied, rather than feeling hungry and deprived. Previous diets had concentrated on 'not doing this' and 'not doing that' but weight watchers is completely empowering - I can have a small chocolate and I can enjoy it more than eating a whole block because I see the bigger picture now. Lots of small changes add together to a total change in lifestyle and a healthier me!

Having coeliac disease it can be difficult to follow set diets as they don't always cater for gluten free eating. Weight watchers is so flexible with how you make up your points each day. I lost 14kgs in around 5 months. I am now pregnant but will be straight back to WW once bub arrives. You can even follow it while breast feeding and the iPhone app makes it so simple to track your eating at all times.

If your BMI is high enough you can claim your Weight Watchers through your health insurance! I used a deal through MOM and AHM paid for a 3 month sign up.
The food was amazing, the app's very informative (use the recipe finder to find a healthy version of whatever meal you are after). Enjoy a glass of wine or cheese a few times a week.
It's breastfeeding friendly!!!! The program knows a BF mumma has additional needs and it allows for that. Even better, it allows for part time feeding, for when you might be weaning or introducing solids.
The downside is that you need to be able to plan ahead - it's tough going for a new mum, but once you are in the swing of things it's great. We used Skinnytaste.com as a backup - it gives you the WW points per serve!!

After reading the mixed reviews by Mom’s community members on Weight Watchers I am going to join Weight Watchers? It sounds like the points and on line tools are key in losing and maintaining weight. An option where I can track my success is a positive. Hopefully there are motivators too.

For me, going to meetings was a bit too embarrassing a prospect for me so the online program was perfect. I didn't like the overemphasis of WW products though, and support wasn't offered really. That being said, the WW propoints system has worked so far for me. I've lost 5 kg so far (which for me is great! I'm more likely to put on 5 kgs lol). So it's okay if you keep in mind it's just a tool to help, not a be all and end all.

Weight Watchers is only a tool - if you are not ready mentally to lose weight, it will not happen. I am a fan of this type of tool, as it can be embarrassing sitting in a meeting, and times may clash with your schedule. The thing I dislike is it is big business, and the push on their products is a little OTT. Read the labels, as there is often cheaper and healthier alternatives out there. The online support of other members is awesome, and online friendships can help you stay on track. Good luck all, I have lost 33kg.

I thought I'd come back now that it's been some time since signing up to do an update. Whilst I eventually got used to the points system I would still prefer a calorie system or something easier to use whilst you're at the supermarket rather than having to look everything up back at home. I found there was no support at all with the online program and it just became a task of logging in and tracking my food; nothing too motivational or inspirational about it. I've since done another online program which is completely different and have lost 13kg very easily and now maintaining my weight. WW seems to work for some but it wasn't for me. I can only assume attending the meetings etc would make a difference in terms of the support aspect.

I've been trying to lose weight for years and have tried almost everything. I was hesitant about joining Weight Watchers because of the high cost and fees and then the high cost of their products in supermarkets. While they offer incentive to lose weight and support you through your journey, like everything, the choice of succeeding begins with your own attitudes towards food, diets and exercise. I think weight loss is more to do with emotional health and once this is addressed then being motivated to find the time to manage your diet and exercise is more easily achieved. I think the theory behind Weight Watchers is great and it has offered many people success in the key to developing healthy habits. But I think it is too expensive.

Weight watchers is good. It has worked for so many of many of my friends. Unfortunate this really didn't fit into my lifestyle. This program did not work for me it is a great program. It has worked for thousands. I'm just not into doing it this way. I did however find a different program that worked for me so it wasn't from. Lack of trying. I just found the counting etc too hard and I didn't hVe time to do it.. With four kids and a hubby weight watchers wasn't for us. But I do recommend for others to give a go as it is proven to work

There is no denying that if you follow the weight watchers plan, you will lose weight. That's not to say that it's always easy because life can definitely get in the way of weight loss. For example, I'm now in the process of losing my baby weight. This time around I'm not signed up to Weight Watchers but I am applying the principles learned when I used them last. Prior to pregnancy I had lost 19Kg and kept it off for 2 years thanks to Weight Watches.
The reason that I haven't re-signed with them is because their logical program can still be applied all these years later. Okay, so the "points" system has changed a bit since I last did it, BUT the underlying principles of weight loss remain the same. I attribute the lessons I've learned at Weight Watchers in the past to my success in weight loss so far this year.

It obviously depends on the meeting you attend. The motivational talks at my meeting are short but interesting and relevent. There isnt much real personal support given and it is very hard to work the online weight watchers. The main obstacle is the price definitely not worth the money as other web sites offer the same more expanded features and are free to use.I use my pedometer every day and with information from meeting found it did so much more than measure steps.

How to choose the best lunch box for school
When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.
Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

If your little (or not-so-little) one wants a lunch bag everyone will comment on, this is it. Available in a range of stunning designs, they come with a long and strong handle and easy-use zippers.

After something a bit more mature? Bentgo’s Modern lunch boxes are a great option. They have a sleek matte finish in a choice of four stylish shades, including Mint Green, Orchid, Dark Grey and Navy. Each is cleverly designed with a removable divider that allows you to choose between using three or four compartments. Even better, they are leak-proof, microwave-safe and fine to pop in the dishwasher.
Colourful and easy to carry, these bags are insulated, eco-friendly and secure. It features aluminium foil lining that keeps food fresh all day long, and it comes with top-level carry handles and a shoulder strap, which is brilliant for those days when kids have a lot to tote.

With their name on it, you won’t need to visit lost property!
With a leak-proof silicone seal, these colourful lunch companions keep sauces and dips right where they belong.

Finally, a kids’ lunch box that stores hot AND cold food in one place! Designed out of necessity by a problem-solving mum, the OmieBox encourages low-waste lunches and ends the need to use multiple clunky containers (which always get lost!). The spill-proof individual compartments mean no mixing of savoury and sweet, and the 280ml double-wall thermos keeps soups and pasta hot for up to six hours!
Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:
Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
That lunchbox comparison table is handy to have. It helped me make a decision on which lunchbox to buy next for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I needed to upgrade her lunchbox but wasn’t sure which way to go. The table helped me with my decision. I ended up going with the BBOX and have found a cheaper lunch bag from a department store that it fits in.
I do not know if anyone else has picked up on this or not, but every bag mentioned in the table above is a ‘designer’ brand. There are plenty of more affordable options that aren’t over $40. I have never spent that much on a lunchbox – even from Smiggle. The cheaper brands last just as well too.
Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.
Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.
Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.
I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.
So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.
There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.
There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain
This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.
Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.
This is an extremely useful article!! 2 schppl going kids and third starting kinder soon means we are always on the lookout for lunch ideas and lunch boxes. This is a great list with features and prices listed to make the search easier and help with decision making for purchasing of the lunch boxes
This is super useful article and thank you. I can see so variety of lunch boxes from every store. Always wonder which one would be more convenient to use by little hands. I love some of these lunchboxes to give it a try for this year. And then decide to go with suitable ones
Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.
These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.
I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.
My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags
My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.
Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

I did Weight watchers online... AHM Paid!
The food was amazing, the app's very informative (use the recipe finder to find a healthy version of whatever meal you are after). Enjoy a glass of wine or cheese a few times a week.
It's breastfeeding friendly!!!! The program knows a BF mumma has additional needs and it allows for that. Even better, it allows for part time feeding, for when you might be weaning or introducing solids.
The downside is that you need to be able to plan ahead - it's tough going for a new mum, but once you are in the swing of things it's great. We used Skinnytaste.com as a backup - it gives you the WW points per serve!!

The System Works
The reason that I haven't re-signed with them is because their logical program can still be applied all these years later. Okay, so the "points" system has changed a bit since I last did it, BUT the underlying principles of weight loss remain the same. I attribute the lessons I've learned at Weight Watchers in the past to my success in weight loss so far this year.
I prefer a program like Weight Watchers than programs that provide food for you simply because you're learning to prepare your own food using low fat and low sugar options. I feel that with the other programs you aren't actually learning as you go so once you stop ordering their foods, you won't know how to keep the weight off.
