Why not try a simple diet to manage your weight loss and lose weight fast! What about the Weight Watchers diet or Slimming World; do you believe they work?
For many years, we have heard of women and men losing weight by attending Weight Watchers and Slimming World meetings. In my opinion, they do seem to work for a lot of people and I always hear of women who have lost a huge amount of weight.
I believe by attending a meeting each week it helps us move forward with the diet. These meetings are helpful as they set our minds at rest when it comes to losing weight. Women and men sit around chatting, getting ideas on how they can eat better to lose weight.
So, with all the information I had read, I decided to do the Weight Watchers diet for a couple of weeks to see if it would work for me too.

How Much Weight Did I Lose?
The Weight Watchers diet has a different system now using smart points and the new freestyle weight watchers where most foods are zero points, but I decided to do the pro points system as I have done it before. It allows 29 pro points per day and you are allowed an extra 49 pro points at the weekend if you want to use them. These extra points helped me if I decided that I wanted to treat myself to something nice like a couple of glasses of red wine. Certain foods are also zero points on this plan, such as fruit, vegetables, and salad, but I never would overdo it when eating fruit as too much
can stop weight loss. Fruit contains sugar so it must be minimized during this diet.
I have, also, heard that drinking Whey Pure Protein shakes on the diet can help with energy levels. I plan to drink two protein shakes per day; one for breakfast and one at lunchtime. I calculated the pro points for the pure protein shake that I bought from the GNC shop in my area and it calculates to 5 pro points for two scoops mixed with 350 ml of water. This shake has helped me to feel more energetic when I do exercise and I believe it helped me lose weight.
Here are two days of a typical Weight Watchers diet meal plan without the shakes.
This meal plan helped me to lose weight fast within two weeks. Give it a try and see if it works for you.

.............................
As you can see, I have done well with this meal plan. I kept my pro points for each day lower than what was recommended because doing it this way helped me to lose weight fast.
Drinking Herbal Tea
The other thing that I usually add to my diet is Oolong tea or Green tea instead of too much coffee or ordinary tea because most people use milk in their tea and coffee. Oolong tea helps with hunger pangs if you drink at least 3 cups per day or at least that is what I have felt since drinking this tea about 10 months ago.
Exercise
As for exercise, I have been out walking and doing my regular inch loss exercises from a Youtube video that I found (see below). Plus, I have been using my exercise bike and my lateral thigh stepper machine again. Hopefully, this will help with my weight loss journey.
Exercise!
After two weeks of doing the Weight Watchers pro points diet, I have managed to lose 10 pounds (just over half a stone). This was a unique goal for me and now it has made me want to continue the diet further for another two weeks to see if I can lose another 10 pounds and hopefully, I can reach my goal and lose two stone.
So, has anyone else tried the Weight Watchers pro points diet? Did you lose weight on it? I would love to hear your comments about how you got on. Please feel free to leave one.
