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 found the point system easy to follow & it meant that I could have a small treat occassionally without feeling guilty. 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.

Losing weight whilst eating more with expert guidance.
Weight Watchers is the best and easiest weight loss program ever because it introduces clients to healthy eating that is easily followed for life. Preparing your own meals and a wide variety of recipes is a guarantee of your own continued successful slimming and maintenance.

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.

Reliable option for those who are looking to a healthy diet and loosing weight. Calorie count helps to be balanced on diet and organise daily eating habits. Also that there is no compromise on the taste and flavours. I would strongly recommend this product for those who are health concious.

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

I did Weight Watchers a few years ago and lost 23 kg in 7 months. I found it so easy to stick to as you don’t only eat Weight Watchers food/recipes. As long as you know what is going in to what you are eating you can make healthy choices.

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.

Genius Beach And Pool Tips Every Aussie Mum Should Know
Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!
But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier).
You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!
Pack Smart, Not Big
Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?
Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and
A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
A dry bag for clothes
A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
A pop-up tent for changing
Waterproof phone case
Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!
“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member
Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts
It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:
Swimming between the flags at the beach
Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel.
Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.
That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!
Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier
The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.
Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.
Prep & Time It Perfectly
There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.
“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member
Pack Smart Snacks
Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:
Chopped fruit
Crackers
Boiled eggs
Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight
“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member
A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!
You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
