Instructions

1

Attend the weekly meetings. Being present at the weekly Weight Watchers meeting is a very important step that will help you accomplish your weight loss goal. Being accountable to the leaders and the scales will constantly remind you to follow program. Studies show that people who attend meetings lose more weight than the people who do not. Attending the meetings will remind you of your goal weekly so you wont get off track. Having support through the Weight Watchers meetings is the biggest help for people who are trying to lose weight and succeed in keeping it off.

2

Drink your water. Drinking the recommended amount of water everyday helps your body to stay hydrated which in turn facilitates your body in flushing out fat. Not only does drinking water help with weight loss, it also keeps your skin hydrated and promotes overall health and wellness. Your body especially needs extra water to compensate for the heat of the summer and sweat losses from extreme work or exercise. Drinking water regularly will help you to lose weight permanently.

3

Include variety in your meals. In following the Weight Watchers program it is important to get a wide variety of food in your eating plan. Eating the same meals day in and day out will cause you to grow bored. It is also important to vary your food choices so that you will get the proper nutrients your body needs to be healthy. Trying something new and being creative will help you to stay focused and continue following the Weight Watchers weight loss program.

4

Write in your daily eating journal. The most essential step to helping you lose weight on the Weight Watchers program is tracking what you eat and drink in your daily journal. Weight Watchers employs a "point system" to help you track your food and water intake. Everything is assigned a point value.You need to write down what you eat, when you eat it, and how many points the food uses. The journal works like a check book register. You write down the total points of what you just ate and subtract it from your total points allotted for the day until you use them all. There is also a space for marking off the recommended water and milk as you drink them.

5

Make sure to exercise. Exercise is one of the key steps in weight loss. You will see an increase in your weekly weight loss when you add regular exercise to your daily routine. Weight Watchers recommends that you exercise for at least 30 minutes, three times a week. Not only will you lose weight faster but you will feel better, too. It is easier to stick with an exercise routine if you find a friend to do it with you. Exercising with someone you know will make the time pass faster and the workout seem less tedious.
