weight watchers

at the risk of sounding typical, i swear by weight watchers and think it's a really great program. i participate online and pay only $17/month. the website is full of healthy meal ideas (that actually taste really good), a place to track your weight and view progress charts and of course, a daily food journal where you keep track of your points.

the program is really easy to stick to and i always recommend it to people. it teaches you how to control portion size and make overall healthier choices. healthy weight loss is 1 - 2 pounds a week and if you go over that weight loss when you track your weight every week, a note pops up saying that you're losing a little too much, so make sure you're eating enough everyday (once it even suggested i enjoy a glass of wine with dinner).

since going on weight watchers, i've lost over 20 pounds and have kept it off easily by sticking to the program. i have more energy and sleep better at night, too. i recommend weight watchers to anyone who is just trying to be healthier and have a little bit more energy during the day.
