Age and bone structure figure into it too. WW gives you a bit more for somebody 5'5" -- up to 140/145 or so. I always thought I was 5'4" (found out a few weeks ago I was only 5'3") and I could go up to 135/140 with a small frame and since I'm over 40. I stay well below that in the low 120's. It really depends on the individual, I think. I haven't gone to the meetings in over a year but I've managed to keep the weight off and changed my eating habits but I still enjoy a variety of foods and goodies.Sharon said:

You are kidding me! That's not good. Does he really feel he need's to go along with this?kwillia said:But according to his WW team lead he needs to hit 200 to be able to do WW for free. I keep telling him to get a note from his doctor. You can see his shoulder bones. He is too skinny.

He can get a note from his dr. WW is very good about working with physicians and individuals. They also don't want you too thin. At lease my group leader was very good about tailoring the program to individual needs.kwillia said:But according to his WW team lead he needs to hit 200 to be able to do WW for free.

He started going to WW last November when he realized he needed to lose weight or face taking meds for the rest of his life for blood pressure and other things that catch up with you when you hit 40... he was wearing 42" waist when he started. He is a vegetarian so he was able to fair well on salads and the zero point veggie soup. He cut out the fats he was taking in in cheese and the likes. He faithfully counted his points everyday and there were many days he didn't even eat his daily allotment. Like I said, he is wearing 32" waist jeans now, but his whole focus seems to be on the scale. He is an iron worker and was telling how he was really bummed to find out he is wearing smaller sizes then some of the other guys and they are weigh way less than him. I keep telling him he needs to take into account that frame and bone structure play a big part in total overall weight, after all he wears size 12 triple E width shoes, but he keeps focusing on the "goal weight" set by WW...CMC122 said:

Seriously I'm going to have to try this stuff if you can swear off chocolate on it. Does it affect you on fast food..that is my other vice?

our leader would fuss at us if we didn't eat our total point allotment...she looked at our planners...kwillia said:
There is a lot of incentive because of the cost. I could have weighed as much as 141. I set my goal weight at 135, just to get there, stay there for 6 weeks and then became a life member. 135 is heavy for me though, but it was better than picking the lowest weight and not being able to stay there, although surprising, I have. We had several people who had doctors assessments saying what was an appropriate goal weight for them and WW has happy work with that and allow the individuals to set a goal weight recommended by their doctors and still allowing them to take advantage of becoming a lifetime member. If he finds that is a problem within his group, he should contact the main offices of WW.kwillia said:but he keeps focusing on the "goal weight" set by WW...

I've given up on weight loss. It'll happen when it happens. Right now I just don't have the willpower to be bothered with it all.
I'm still pissed that they took ephedra off the market.
Metabolife worked great for more than just weight loss, it was the best hangover prevention pill EVER.

From what I'm hearing he got a new WW team leader a couple weeks ago and she is pushing him hard to get a doctor's note. He may end up doing that, because he seems to be having a hard time losing now and he is not eating much at all.
IMO, The up side is he lost a lot of weight. The down side is he is a year in, down to pretty much goal weight and he has yet to discover a healthy relationship with food.

I did that the first time I did WW about 10 years ago. Guess what..put the weight back on and more. This time I had a great leader but I educated myself. Otter thought I was a "bit" obsessive but I was determined that I was going to change my eating habits and stick with it. From my observations, the men in my group lost very fast without really trying and they were not as diligent in learning about the "healthy" side of it. Being that he's a vegetarian, he really has to make sure he's getting his protein, etc. Is he educated on how to eat healthy for a vegetarian? Then adding WW to the mix adds a whole new angle.kwillia said:IMO, The up side is he lost a lot of weight.

I'm a great advocate for WW because I think it really offers you the most flexible weight loss plan. They give you guidelines but you have to learn how to eat, how to balance your choices of protein, carbs, etc. You can cram a lot of food into your point totals if you get creative. It's easy to fall into a rut because of time and ease, but really if you read the cookbooks, etc. and rethink your ways a bit, eating and cooking healthier isn't that hard.
Sounds like your brother has done really well and a visit to his doctor would really help. If he keeps going like he is he could become discouraged and that would be a real shame.
Okay...I'm done now...
That's why it's no longer a great hangover preventative.sleuth said:I thought Metabolife was ephedra-free??
It is now, it didn't used to be.
