grrr.... uneducated people spreading lies!!!! don't get me started...

I agree with you Lori, my experience with WW was a difficult one... was on it immediately before Atkins. I lost more in 2 weeks of induction on Atkins than I did in 3 months of WW.

Wow, so we don't eat vegetables on Atkin's? I better slap myself around then for having an acceptable salad every day! What a moron she is! Would have been nice if she had read the book before opening her yap! But she is the WW spokeswoman, so obviously she is getting paid well to spread her lies!

Fergie = weight watchers spokesgirl. Of course she hates low carb, they pay her to hate it.


I think that hits the nail on the head!

OK, the media is full of crap a lot of times. Let me tell you Fergie the royal barf monger (Sure weight watchers worked for her) didn't go to Harvard or Duke which have come out with some really great studies lately. I'm gonna stick with the opinions of smart people thanks.

And I LOVE my veges And my melon, strawberries, nuts, and EVEN an occassional slice of 9 grain bread so

Hugs,
Kristi

Wow and I always liked Fergie and thought that she got a bad deal when she joined the royal family.
I think that WW is a good diet and I was a lifetime member .It just didn't work for me because as soon as I got to goal I went right back up on the scale again.I lost all my weight on all the different diets but it always came right back almost immediately.I always lost it real fast too.LC Is the slowest I ever lost weight and it is the first time I am not starving.I am in 5 and half months and never hungry and lost 27 pounds.I never bash WW because I know it is a good program and it works for lots of people.I don't understand Fergie bashing LC except that WW must be in trouble and she has to try to regain some of the people who are going to LC.
