Dave Changed the Habit of a Lifetime!

Today Dave feels happier within himself and likes what he sees when he looks in the mirror having lost 3st 7lb with Weight Watchers Online.

Dave had been unhappy about his weight for as long as he could remember. He was sick of seeing a fat man staring back at him in the mirror and was worried about losing sight of his toes! It was time to take action, time to join Weight Watchers!

Online Success

Dave began his weight loss journey by going to meetings and then decided to ‘go it online’. “I was at the computer at work anyway, and I find that Weight Watchers Online is convenient, accurate, and the POINTS® Tracker made it easy to keep an eye on how many POINTS values I was using,” says Dave.

Dave also benefited greatly form the Message Boards, where he got practical tips about restaurant food choices when eating out.

In order to keep on top of things, he monitors his weight regularly and if it creeps up at all he starts tracking again until he is back to goal. “I stopped tracking my weight for about a year and I had put on a stone and a half! As soon as I started tracking again I lost it,” he says.

Getting Active

Dave walks regularly now and thinks nothing of walking a couple of miles – and he’s stopped driving to the chip shop, which is ten minutes away! He also goes to the gym three times a week and has started to play football, all of which has helped him with his weight loss success.

“When I was overweight doing any kind of exercise was a real chore but now I am thin I can do a lot more, and it adds to my overall fitness,” says Dave.

Changing the Habit of a Lifetime

Small, positive changes have slowly become new habits in Dave’s day-to-day life – his eating habits in particular. He has started to cook more and tries to eat Filling Foods such as potatoes and bananas to keep satisfied between meals. "I used to eat lots of pizza, peanuts and fatty foods, but today I cook my own meals and often use recipes from the website."
