Gained a lot of weight during breastfeeding and now while taking the birth control (stopped bf) and I want to try weight watchers. They currently have 3 plans and I am tempted by the no contract one for $14 the first month (then I think it’s $20 a month). Is it worth it? Should I got with the 3 month or 6 month contract? Looking to loose 30 pounds. Thanks!!

I’d do 6 month. 5 lb/month is reasonable and should likely give you time to hit your goal weight and figure out your rhythm to maintain. For me, losing is easy. Maintaining is hard. I’m good at being super disciplined and motivated to lose, but the balance of just maintaining is hard.

Thank you, PWC1!! I followed your recommendation and got the 6-months plan! It’s weird though that fruits, veggies and lean meat count for 0 points on WW while the calories are not negligible (especially for fruits). How do you ensure you’re not gonna gain weight while tracking 0 points for this food? Thank you :)

I did ww back in the early 2000. It was ok. Honestly I find most of these programs over complicate what should be a simple truth: eat whole foods, mostly plants, move every day and sleep enough. Doing this alone worked more wonders for me than counting any points ever did. If you need the external motivation, I get it. It’s worth a shot! It worked well when I followed it.

Try it for one month, see if it works for you. WW was great for my mom, and of course lots of other women too.

For me, the most important thing was learning how many calories I was actually consuming in each serving. I would make a sandwich with mayo, thinking, “probably 20 calories for that little bit of mayo,” then I weighed it and realized that was 100 calories of mayo! Just tracking my calories and realizing what I though was “little” really wasn’t, and that I was drinking a lot more wine than I thought. Learning those really helped, and I just used the Lose It! App for free.

Hi,
The expansion of initial letter in my name is XYZ in PAN card website ( income tax website) And in passport it is mentioned as ABC.

Will it be a problem during background verification in IT companies? The first advantage (third party) is asking for expansion of my initial letter in my name, where I have clearly mentioned the scenario in thier comment box.
Will first advantage take this into consideration or will expansion of initial letter in a name will have any impact on the BGV?

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.
