I have been a lifetime member since 2000 (lost 80 lbs.). I went up and down a few times and a couple of months ago hit my goal again. I never want to go up again, so I’ve really researched weight maintenance. What I am doing is working. I weigh myself every day, attend weekly meetings, but only weigh in once a month at WW. Weighing myself every day and tracking most days has kept me on track. What I’m actually doing is gaining and losing one pound. When I went on vacation for a week, I gained two pounds. This is the trickkeeping on top of this daily makes it a simpler task (only a pound or two to lose if necessary). I have fallen lower than I want, so get to eat a treat to bring it back up. Don’t skimp on exercise. You need to at least walk daily, but you should do something that builds muscle as muscle speeds your metabolism. Also, try to avoid processed foods. WW sells a lot of it. It’s not going to help your health and it’s loaded with crap. I hope this helps someone!
Great video. I’ve signed up today and it’s given me purple. I have to say, I’m pretty nervous about the amount of carbs on this list. I honestly think I need to change to a different colour.
Thank you. I became a lifetime member in January and maintained till March. Since then, it has been a spiral down! I came upon your channel looking for some inspiration—together we can do it!
Wow….so true! Have been on maintenance one year this August. I totally agree, I still go to class and weigh in weekly. I know you will get to your goal again and think you are a beautiful person right now. I only added 3 extra points daily and some weeks I have a gain and then manage to lose it the next week. I have always gone back to binging in the past and this time I realize that is not possible for me. I too have a sweet tooth. Love catching up with you and you always inspire me to get some exercise every day. Hugs. Lorie
I have just completed a week on the purple plan and lost 5lbs. It was great as it stopped my snacking because the meals were so filling. I love the Purple plan!
I am so intrigued by purple but I know that blue is for me. I am in my 4th week of maintenance…so close to lifetime!! ��❤
I think purple would be tough for people who don’t like the added starches. Mainly because the smaller amount of daily points that could be used to add something else. Which could lead to eating items they don’t enjoy.
I switched to green as there aren’t that many vegan options on freestyle. Also I list a lot of weight on smartpoints before freestyle.
I wonder if that includes smoked mackerel �� great vlog and explanation x
amazing as usual, I think im sticking with blue but this would have been my choice if I was maintaining x
I love and appreciate your channel! I am a return Weight Watcher and would like to follow you on Connect. Can you please give me your Connect username? I too regained weight I lost. I am ready to start fresh!
I totally needed to hear this today. I stumbled on your YouTube channel yesterday and it was a Godsend. I’m so grateful for your words!
I just switched fro green after almost a year on blue. I had so much success on blue, but kind of fell off and decided to take the quiz. It recommend the green. I’m kind of nervous because I feel like I’m eating the same stuff just with more points…
I chose green since I am still in weight loss more. I am hoping when I get to goal I can move to one of the others. Right now I want/need more structure. I love that I can easily translate your recipes to my plan!!
thank you for your honesty I have been doing this forever it seems, yes I got to goal once but it has been such a long time ago, as you said I she need to suckered it up and to it,
I chose Green. Before I didn’t eat chicken or fish or eggs so I struggled getting my calories. Lost weight but was hungry all the time. Than I startet upping my points and ate about 30 a day. Still lost weight. So I am very happy about the green Plan because it’s what I did the last month anyway. But I don’t think you can drink more alcohol or eat sweets because you have to point more. But that’s great.
Totally agree xx I’m 10 lbs over goal xx �� I’m not sure what’s wrong with me I keep watching these videos to gain inspiration, the other day I saw my ww leader at spouts grocery store I thought �� omg this is a sign lol �� anyways thanks for keeping it real ��������I need to get back on pp I used to enjoy it so much I don’t know what’s wrong with me x
I agree! I’m a Lifetime Member too. I didn’t change my etools to maintain. I didn’t want the extra 6points…lol and I will count for LIFE!!!!!! I do Cardio only for an 1 hour some days 2 hours. I TRACK TRACK TRACk when I shop only for the week and I scan everything to see how many points before I purchase the item. This method has saved me, because something are just not worth the points in my opinion.
Think I’ll stick with blue especially if parsnips are now zero points.. I love them and they’re a great potato substitute ��
love all you said!!! I agree its not a diet its a lifestyle. And one I know i will be doing for a lifetime. I think at least if I am gonna do it forever I might as well is have fun with it. And so I am!!! Also I was curious if you use your phone to film or an video camera? The quality is amazing!!! TIA
You got that right!!! The struggle for us lifetime members is real.
I am going Green. I need more structure while I work on my relationship with food. With that said I will still be here watching every video and making it work on Green!!
I’m staying with blue. I’m new to WW and have good luck on the blue.
Thanks. Really hit home with me today as I was pondering this very topic today.
Concise and informative as usual, really love your channel Natasha and you look beautiful x
I’ve struggled on freestyle but persevered. I’m on the �� plan now. I’ve been on green nearly 4 days and lost -2lbs yesterday. I love green because it’s like the old smartpoints. I feel free is so flexible, I don’t feel hungry and gives accountability x
Totally agree with everything you said. I hit lifetime in 13 months and gained everything plus 30 lbs.
Just wondering…is there no place to put in comments when you watch on your phone? Anyway…recently found you, love you, I’m binge watching your videos:)
Started on the purple plan a couple days ago, my first time doing WW and I love it so far! It’s really encouraging me to think about what I’m eating and stick to healthy meals as I don’t want to waste my points! Even though I love carbs, it’s pushed me to have wholewheat pasta instead of the plain (and less pesto!) and because bread and sugar (my faves!!) still have to be tracked I’m not in danger of bingeing. Loving it!!
Thanks Kate. This video came at a good time. Trying to dig myself out of this hole today. I had thoughts of seeing about attending meetings. I do online only right now.
Looking at the stats I think Blue is for me, last time I was on pro points, long time ago, I was allowed 29 points and a weekly allowance on top of 49, so should I just stick to 29points plus free food on the blue plan now, thanks in advance.
Kate your face looks so thin, a non scale victory, keep it up girl.
I’m so glad you did this video! I was only 5.4 away from my goal (I lost 100 pounds, most of it was as a WW member) but then I went up 9 pounds. I’m struggling to get to goal but I’m working on it. I really believe in this program and know that it will help me get there! I really enjoy your videos!:) Question for you, were you in a WW magazine? I think I remember you saying it in an older video. I have the issue!:)
Thank you for sharing! I hit life time in 2007 and now currently sit 30lbs above goal and that was after raising my goal weight 10lbs to account for getting older. maintenance is harder and meetings often times are not geared to those who hit goal so there is not much to strive for, in theory. I would say, do not be too hard on yourself, find a meeting you enjoy and go. also, track and pretrack, write values and serving sizes on containers. Find a great support system too. great video and thanjs for sharing.
Im almost to my goal weight…I have always said the easy part is losing but where is all the help for After!!! so thanks for putting it out there!! there should be a group for lifetimers….hummmm
Thank you for this, sounds fantastic. I am a old ww customer but when they changed the points I struggled as I didn’t eat or like a lot of what was on the free foods menu but this changed sounds perfect for me. I’ve been calorie counting which has been working well but I do miss the WW meetings and I need someone to actually weight me once a week to keep me on track. X
It is so funny to hear the perspective of different people about the different plans. Some have referred to the blue and purple plans as being more “freeing” because you don’t have to track as much. When I was on Freestyle I still tracked everything. It felt very restrictive to me a good bit of the time trying to focus on choosing from the 0 point list. I felt like my points were used up very quickly if I strayed from that list. I chose the green plan because it feels like a more flexible plan to me. I’m glad WW is finally offering different plans so we can each choose what is right for us at any given time. I think more people will find success this way.
I’m on the green plan and I love it. It’s totally working for me!!
Loving the green plan! Don’t know how I’ve never seen you on here in the WW bloggers!!! Welcome ���� ps loving your hair!
Check out Hannah on carbs channel. She is a vegan an all she eats is Cathy and starchy food with fruits and veggies and she has lost a ton of weight.
This sounds really interesting and I think I agree with what you said on Instagram that this would be great for vegetarians too x
Get off weight watchers!! Learn Keto or intermittent fasting! It is so easy and so much healthier. This is why I stopped WW. IT’S A TRAP
You explain everything so well and so clearly. Thank you so much xx
Hi Natasha, I’ve got to goal weight and am on 16 pts a day. I fill myself with lovely porridge, baked potatoes and wholemeal pasta and rice. I am enjoying this planalthough only lost 1lb( didn’t really need to loose more weight but wanted to try it) love your video, lots of information x
I have been a lifetime member at goal for almost 2 years. Granted this was my 3rd go around on WW, but hey 3rd times a charm right? When I finally obtained lifetime, I also struggled with the “now what?” It wasn’t more than 4 months that I was over my goal weight and had to pay for my meeting. After 2 months of paying, I decided that would be it. I realized that I needed a new goal, which was to tone my body and improve my running times. I found this new goal helped me maintain. I also realized (and this has become my mantra) “what got me to goal will keep me at goal”. What got me to goal? Weekly meetings, tracking, weighing my food. Have I been struggle free since then? No! But I know what I need to do, and if that means I have to pay $15 every week? Then so be it! Money can be a great motivator. Thank you for this video, I know lots of lifetimers struggle, and it’s nice to know you are not alone.
I love your honesty,and your humans and your not alone, I agree with you
Great explanation of the meetings. I’m not really feeling my new leader and may change nights.
brilliant break down Natasha, WW are lucky to have you, you inspire thousands inc me x
I see herring is free on blue plan, would that include rollmops.?
LOL I was literally thinking it was going to be like biggest loser:)
I am staying with what works well for mr, so it’s blue all day long. Like you Natasha, I’m pleased the confusion about smoked fish is sorted out as I love smoked salmon
If you can make eating healthy and good portions a habit then you do not need to count.
I feel it’s harder bc you’re probably frustrated. You put so much work in, then achieved goal. Life happened then you got back in it. You probably have slight burn out, frustration, irritation and anger bc you have to redo what you’ve done. It’s hard to refind focus and that fire. You got this!
Hi Natasha.. thank you for this video, with the Green plan, and the zero points.. can i eat them till im full/satisfied? Obviously not to overfeeding myself��.. cos I find myself still quite hungry after a while. Thank you x
Im joining today and going to be on the blue plan. Out of all of them i feel like for me to be starting out having a bit more on the 0 point would be beter, and in a few months if i feel I’m taking advantage too much of the 0 points I’ll go for a more restrictive 0 point plan:) looking fowars to starting!
You are so right. As a Lifetime member at goal, it never ends. I am also always trying to have a loss at the scale every week. I have such a fear of gaining it all back. I have lost 120 lbs and feel soooo much better. But like you said the journey never ends, it’s a lifestyle change. Love WW! Thanks for this video, I needed to hear this. You rock.
Great video so true that it is a lifetime commitment! 5 weeks to go until I get to lifetime. I exercise all of the time and try to limit social engagements each week. If I have a few things scheduled, I at least try to space them out during the week and eat super clean in between. Praying I can keep the weight off. I have never hit lifetime/or goal before so am super excited lost 40 lbs��
I will probably go on purple but I will wait for your video first ��
omg, did I need this…thanks Brianna….Lifetime 3 weeks ago…scared, lost, and nervous…
Lol, I tried to see who thumps down person was…If you see me down then up…hehe
Great video, I myself went for green which is good for me as I always went into my weekly points. This way I have points rolling over now. ���� I did weigh myself and have lost 1lb in 3 days since I’ve been doing the green plan. ���� happy days for me �� I like the idea tho, if I get bored I can choose A different plan. ❤️
