QuoteReplyTopic: weight watchers... Posted: March 23 2006 at 3:19pm
Okay so I have been doing WeightWatchers for about three weeks...I've
heard your supposed to be losing about three pounds a week...but I
haven't lost anything! I am 15, 5'5 and 129 pounds. I am
considerably active...playing volleyball two and half hours twice a
week. I have been eating very healthy since the diet. I
used to be involved in anorexia but thankfully got out of it before it
got terrible. But I must say, I honestly have become verry frusterated
with my lack of success and have considered going back to anorexia
(only for a little bit..but im afraid I won't stop). I have a
goal of around 105-115 only trying to slim my abs, butt and thighs and
I figured with WeightWatchers I could still eat healthy, but eat enough
for me to grow. Is there any reason for me not losing any wieght?
Should I try a new diet? ANY thoughts would be WELLLLLL appreciated!
Thanks...
My name is Simona. I am a healthcare professional. I do not want to insult your intelligence, I'll just put some things out there for you to think about, ok, thank goodness you got your self some help. Good job.
have you seen a doctor?
consider genetics? your mom? dad? siblings? body composition. Periods?
And I have struggled with an eating disorder myself,,,restricting uuugh it was horrible, bullimia...few......, glad that's over with.
Well as you have probably already figured out every food plan for weight loss does not have the same effect on us the same way , Right?
You are not alone. I tried medifast, Atkins, etc. Finally I came to the conclusion that I should just eat moderately and do what you are already doing EXCERCISE.
Suggestion: what are your motives for wanting to lose weight?
Are you trying to make weight for a sports requirement or something?
Best of Luck to ya' Girl.

I am not a health care professional. But I've studied nutirion since I was 16 yr.s And I'm 35 now. I too am very active, and the more muscle, the heavier, since muscle does weigh more fat, believe it or not.
Plus, You are still developing, so cut yourself some slack. Also, Portion control and excersise are the best methods I've found not only to lose, but maintain my weight. I too am 5'5" but I weigh between 133 and 135, depending on my periods, you know.
P.S. I am still technically a certified Nurses assistant, even though I'm not working right now.
Please consider all advice, and Please DON"T resort to anorexia again. but if You do, please get some help!
Eating Disorders are terrible on the body.
I realize over eating is as bad as anorexia and Buliemia, but to be healthy, and happy, consider what Anomis and I have posted.
Take care, and God Bless You!
Love, katie;)
God Bless,...

Just keep up with your Weight Watchers, exercise every day, and hopefully you'll see some results soon. Sometimes it takes a while after you start a new approach before you know if it's working or not.
