Jenn, I know you posted this video months ago, but I just wanted to say that this is really helpful for me. I'm on Day 2 of WW (I've never been apart of this program before), and I'm just combing through WW KZread videos now to gain encouragement and tips and all that I can to help me stay on the plan and not fall off the tracks. I'm currently at the highest weight I've ever been and I realised for probably the first time the other day that I have a severe and dangerous addiction to processed and fast foods and I've developed all sorts of health problems because of it (problems that I just wasn't really ready to admit to). Worst of all, I used excuses, excuses, excuses to try and blame everything else for why I was gaining weight and avoided pointing the finger at myself the entire time. I've been ready to make a change in my lifestyle and eating habits for years, and I'm now trying to take positive steps to ensure that I meet my goal weight in a couple of years. ❤️

Jenn, is there a easier way to track food in the WW app... I cook from Scratch for most meals and try to measure, as well, weigh amounts I cook with... but find this so time consuming and I find myself Irritated with the app....so I have days I don't track... Wich is not good for me, just starting out and trying to learn the WW ways... I have a lot of weight to loose and I just can't get frustrated and discouraged....

I stopped WW about a year ago. I wasn't successful on the program. I just rejoined and watched this video to get some ideas and motivation. Except for drinking water which I'm good at, I made every single one of the mistakes you mentioned. I didn't use all the points and I focused on workarounds eating too much processed food. I'm back to eating real foods but want to lose weight so I'll be taking your comments to heart. Thank you.

Finally!!! I have to stay away from processed foods to battle inflammation. The best way is by what I eat. I am so happy to find you! Clean eating and WW. Appreciate you!! Thank you

Awesome video, Jenn! I have eliminated just about all sugar from my diet (except what natural sugar I get through fruits) and I feel so much better! I have also lost 20 lbs in 10 weeks on WW - I am loving their new plan and have never had this much success on WW in the past.

I joined WW back in 2021 & lost 60lbs. Then I hit a plateau and there I've been since Nov 2021. I saw this video and oh my gosh it hit home. I know that something was wrong. After watching your video I finally get it and thank you so much. This has helped me immensly! Now the work begins and this time I feel more confident that I can do this.

In my humble opinion, this is one of your best videos. So informational and inspirational. I love being directed to your related playlists, too. Thank you for being so open and authentic.

Wow! I found this extremely helpful!! I feel like I have more of a chance for success now. I definitely relate to the mistakes Jenn was discussing! I got a little obsessed over the points and just really too hungry.

I love this! I am totally intolerant to anything sugar-free and it's so frustrating to see all the What I Eat in a Day that revolve around those foods and fat-free everything. This is so much more realistic and healthy!

I have made all these mistakes this week. I woke up weighed myself and cried cause I gained a pound. I know now I didn’t eat enough or drink enough water. Thank you for showing me what to do. I feel better and will continue on my journey

Jenn, I just saw this post. This is exactly why WW has not been successful for me. THANK YOU. It makes sense why I haven't been successful. Recently, I haven't counted my fruits on WW because I'm a diebetic, and it made me mad that WW counts my fruits, but they also gave me a few more points to do so. After listening to your post, it makes sense to me now. Thank you. It's time for me to start tracking correctly. The skinny popcorn has been my snack of choice lately, but I overdo my portions because I beng eat when stress. I'm going to rewatch again, change things up, and be accountable to my health. 😢❤😮😊

Wow!!!! I am 14 mins into this video and you are so right about so many things!!! I have been doing WW for about 2 weeks. My reduced fat mozzarella cheese will not even melt over my black beans! That is NOT food and cannot be healthy. I know we need healthy fats and I have been avoiding cheese like the plague due to the “point value”. My scales go up and down over the last week, my stomach feels tore up and I feel nauseous!! Fat free doesn’t = healthy! Happy to have found your channel. Congratulations 🎊 on your success!! 🥳❤️

Everything you have said is my mistakes and I’ve been going this for so many years and at 75 I’m frustrated, tomorrow is my weigh in day and a new beginning 😂thanks so much Jenn and by the way you look fantastic and beautiful! I have not watched in such a long time thank you for this video

Welcome to my channel- glad you’re here!! ❤️❤️❤️

I wish I could like this video 100 times! Great topic. I switched to calorie counting last August after always feeling hungry and not eating enough on WW. From watching your videos I watch my protein and fiber and feel so much better now that I eat more and eat better quality foods.

This is such a good video. I did ww before and did a lot of these things. I lost a lot of weight but then life happened and I couldn’t maintain it. This time around I’m really trying to make sustainable choices, I literally had dominoes pizza last night. I used my weeklies (which I rarely used before), tracked it, ate slowly and enjoyed really enjoyed it, and stopped when I was full. Put the leftovers in the freezer for another time when I want more instead of finishing them the next day. I’ve been moving away from the fat free cheeses as well. I feel much more positive this time around and this video just really hit home. So thank you!

Amen! Quality over quantity! I have been working towards clean, mostly organic, real food! We don’t “need”sugar, and I am working on removing added sugars. As you said, it’s a process & focusing on little changes at a time and keep working towards my goals.

I appreciate these tips! Especially the encouragement to use all points and weeklies. I am just restarting the program. I tend to have all or nothing thinking(restrict/binge). Saving those weeklies will help immensely with that!

I love this Jenn. Common sense for how to lose weight sensibly on WW. You are a great role model for this and I alwaYs learn something from your videos! Thank you!

I switched to healthy foods and the healthy app that does both points and calories. I ran out of daily points and only ate 800 calories. Crazy. So now if I go over points it’s fine as long as my calories are between my chosen range of 1200-1300. I noticed with healthy foods and drinking 64oz with the water bottle. I have been losing inches and not as hungry as I used to be. Jenn your advice is spot on!!!!! 🌟

Omg thank you for giving me the permission to eat regular cheese!!!! I’d rather less regular cheese then more low fat cheese

Jenn thank you for sharing your Ww wisdom through experience! You have evolved over time and been diligent in your pursuit toward a healthier you! You look amazing but more importantly how you are showing up for yourself and caring for your health and true lifestyle changes! Congratulations 😊😊😊💞

I can't say Thank you enough. I struggle with low fat or sugar free. It's not sustainable for me. What you said makes so much sense & its what I've always thought.

Jenn - this is Darlene Morgan! This was very helpful for me as well! I think a key is that I'm not eating enough calories. Good info!

Thank you for this video! Ive been on WW since Feb 2021 and im down 113lbs. I am so happy! But im learning throughout that i have to do what i know i can sustain. i wouldnt be able to drink a smoothie for breakfast and for lunch for the rest of my life, for example. No thanks. That is not my jam and it does not satiate my hunger in any way. But I might consider it if i needed to lose ten lbs to fit into a dress for a specific event, knowing that i would go right back up again lol. i MIGHT consider that. But for the rest of the time, I need to eat what i like, what i want to continue eating forever and ever, and it has to be affordable and accessible too. Thank you for all the reminders in this video of various things we have done that can affect the journey!

I totally agree with everything you said in this video. Especially the part about the scale. I became obsessed with the number on my scale. I would weigh myself every day and if it didn't go down I would beat myself up about it. I would only eat 700 -900 calories daily. And then I would binge eat because I was so hungry. I did this for probably 2 years. I lost muscle mass and gained a very unhealthy relationship with food and my scale. I got down to 116 lbs and STILL was not happy with myself or my body. It was very hard to sustain this kind of lifestyle. I was hungry most days and I really believe I hurt my metabolism by eating this way for so long. If I eat anything about 1000 calories I gain and some days I even gained eating 700-900 calories. It is very frustrating. I started feeling like I needed to eat less and less to lose weight. I recently started eating more and lifting weights with my husband and yes I have gained weight but I feel like most importantly I need to be healthy and am trying to heal my mindset as well. Its definately a daily struggle but this video makes so much sense to me.

This is a truly excellent video. I felt every single one of these and have done ALL of them. And your explanations of how we need to consider the elements of meals and snacks and the reasons this is absolutely vital!

You are awesome! Great advice. I have had issues since I was 12 years old I have been on diets so for so long I have had an unhealthy relationship with food and not living myself, this time I have to decided to love myself first and developing a good relationship with food. Ps:I am a certified health coach, nurse, and personal trainer, I know what to do but my brain has to be retrained to care about me the way I would care for others. ❤️ 2 days of my new love of myself so far!

Jenn a big thank you for doing this video. I made all of these mistakes and am so glad you took the time to share your mistakes with us. Bless you! ❤️❤️

I am so glad you shared this!!! I did Atkins for a couple years and lost some weight before getting stuck. One thing I learned from Dr Atkins first book was how low fat foods are worse than full fat. Coming over to WW I disagree with how they favor low fat foods. I'm trying to eat real food as much as possible. The thing I struggle with most is adding in more fruits and veggies. I don't normally eat breakfast and I'm not hungry for it, yet people say to eat anyway. So I appreciate you sharing what you'd do differently.

Oh my!! So glad I came across your video! All these things are so very true and eye opening! This gets me motivated again.

Loved the video. You look great! I track in both My Fitness Pal and the WW Ap. I feel it is key to maintaining my 85 lb weight loss. I have logged my food 3,135 days in a row. I find foods that satisfy and stick with them. I am so determined to keep the weight off.

Thank you for this information. I have been on WW for 2 weeks and not loosing weight. I have made many of the mistakes you talked about. The biggest one is not eating all my points.

Hi Jenn. I'm so glad I came across your channel. I was on WW many years ago and am thinking about joining again. Many of the videos I have been watching have made me question it until now. Seems like everybody is stuffing down all of these processed and fat free junky zero points foods ( that I really don't want to eat in my diet). So thanks for great info. New subscriber here! :-)

❤Thanks Jenn for this video! Today is 2/26/23 I went back to listen to video because I was not getting enough calories!! I started with your on January 6th 2023 ! I just made Lifetime goal for the 4th time! I realized I’m not eating all of my weekly points! Today I making that change and tracking water better ! These are the changes that made since January 6th: I have the lose it app on my iPhone, I have Motiv - 8 Burn Cherry lemonade, Ghost Chips Ahoy, ( I put this in my coffee) Collagen For Her! Plus , your e- book recipes and WW FaceBook group!!! 😊

Great video!! The last time I did Weight Watchers, I ate a lot of frozen dinners. Since then, I have learned about the beauty of cast iron skillet cooking and air fryers are now a thing. So it has become much easier for me to eat Whole Foods. My problem before I restarted the Weight Watchers is not realizing how devastating 10” tortillas were when I would make a food wrap. And also, how important it is to really be careful on the high point items such as shredded cheese. Like you, I refuse to eat low fat anything, so I think I’m good there. Thank you for the video!!

Very new to WW and I really appreciated your comments. I do find myself trying to eat as few points as possible and being afraid to use my weeklies. I realize I have to do better! Thank you.

Great video! Lots to think about. I need to drink more water and look at calories. I don't think I'm eating enough. Thanks for this🤩

The best KZread video I’ve ever watched. Great delivery and content.

Thank you so much for this video. I could not figure out why I was not lose any weight for the last few weeks. My thinking way I was eating to much. When I never really eat my daily points. When my husband keeps telling me I’m eating to much. I have been on WW for I long while. But after we moved out of Calif. to Idaho it gain 30 pounds of the 50 I lose. I had reached my goal. But after the move and not being able to find all the fresh fruit and vegetables I use to eat here I started to gain. And my blood pressure started going up again. I started in the summers to grow my own vegetables and have been eating thoughts in the summer but winter here is a big problem for me. It’s to cold outside. But any way I am glad I saw this video of yours about eating all of your daily points. And weekly’s at some time of the week. So thank you. And I can tell you I have made almost everyone of the mistakes you talked about.

I have been following you for a couple of years Jan and I must say of all your videos this one is probably the best one I’ve seen just for the sheer amount of material you cover. Thanks for all that you give us each week and best wishes for happiness in your new home.

You look amazing!! You have inspired me to get back on my own weight loss journey!! Looking forward to watching your next adventure!!

This is the video I have been looking for ❤️! Started WW about a week ago due to heart issues and hubby is also doing it with me. I really enjoy it and I am shocked at all the evil things I was eating and especially drinking. I was addicted to Ginger Ale about 4 20oz bottles a day! 🙈 I cannot drink diet drinks so water it is. I feel so much better already and being accountable is the best. Hubby is not using all his points. So, I am sending him this link! Thank you very much.

Glad to see this, I am just starting with WW but have been a little put back by the use of so much processed food. I am big on whole grain and super foods.

Jenn, this old video popped up that was before I started watching you. This was you 45 pounds heavier than today. I can't believe what a huge difference that 45 pounds made - you look terrific!

Great video....it is all info that we should know and maybe do know but never ever follow. Eye opener for sure.

I enjoy going back to watch your previous videos . I almost always get something new or something I forgot about. Thank you for sharing your journey and your knowledge.

Thanks, I will start to use my weeklies more. With the water I was doing the 64oz but for me I had to go down to the 6glasses, 48oz. I was just up too many times going to the bathroom during the day and night. I wasn’t getting enough sleep. I will slowly try to space out the water to go back to 64. Thanks on sugar free tip I was contemplating do I need to purchase that sugar free ketchup or bbq sauce. I’ll stick to just measuring for now. I’m finding that a tbsp or 2 is really all I need. I do like the zero sugar yogurts. I have watched other videos and found some of your products. I put the yum crumbs or extra fruit on the yogurt. I did find the Catalina crunch in a snack size bag. I’ve used those to add a little crunch to my snacks. I’m enjoying all your product recommendations. Next, I’m going to purchase the fiber gourmet pasta, and I am going to look for the cactus chips and the seven Sunday chocolate snack. I’m also going to look more closely at the ingredients more when picking out healthier snacks. My current snacks besides what I listed above are the cauliflower pretzels which I was eating before ww. I also keep the cauliflower cheese crackers on hand. I like the crunch and lightness of them especially on the go. I must admit I don’t think I looked at the ingredients. I do switch up my snacks because I get bored and I snack on fruits and veggies as well. Thanks Jenn.

Thanks for sharing all you have learned on your journey, Jenn! I'm still struggling with breaking the habit of breakfast, morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, etc. I say habit because my body tells me it's time for something to eat whether or not I need or want it. I appreciate all of this information!

Wow Jenn!! Your whole journey is an eye opening experience and you have just summed it up here in a nutshell. We can learn so much from you! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Hi Jen, Love your videos! I feel frustrated because I started WW 3 weeks ago and have only lost 2 pounds.

So excited to see you still at it and making videos to inspire me! Lol I’m 28lbs down with calorie counting and just rejoined WW

❤️ the video one of your best I can relate to everything you’ve discussed here. Huge 👀 opener!!!

I love this video and am so glad I found you! I never have loved the fake sugar and always feel the real stuff was better, in moderation that is. I would rather have that’s extra calories or points than use the fake stuff and now feel better about it.

Jenn, this was a much needed video. Thank You! You look phenomenal. I’ve been following your journey from the beginning ❤❤❤

So happy for your journey, Jenn! Thank you for sharing your journey, and saying what worked and didn't work for you. So grateful for you :)

I just started WW a few weeks ago. So far, so bad. lol. 100% my fault. I'm eating more than all my points in a day or week. I know I need to eat more zero point foods - and far more veggies. And far less sugar and treats. Today I did almost nothing but eat -- just felt hungry all day and was home all day doing nothing. I'm also well over 50 and so my metabolism is slowing way way down, post-menopause. And muscle mass loss. *sigh*. But I weigh 20 pounds more than I've ever weighed before and am determined to lose at least 10 so my clothes fit well again. Glad to find your channel.

so helpful Jenn! I subscribed to your channel. this is the last time im joining WW!

Jenn, I love your make-up so beautiful. Thank you for the ww info. It was much appreciated 🥰

I rarely comment on videos - but this was a spectacular video!!! So much excellent information!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!

Thank you Jenn you brought up a lot of topics that I have been thinking of, I think I actually get it now!

This was very helpful! I did Jenny Craig last year and lost 59 pounds on that, however Jenny Craig has its flaws (i.e. almost all of the food is purchased from them and proportioned for you, almost all foods need to be microwaved, and it's incredibly expensive. I didn't think I learned anything about maintenance with them because of this). I then stopped Jenny Craig right before Christmas and surprise, I didn't fully understand how to track my food intake. I ended up gaining 9 pounds quickly. I was extremely bloated also. When I started WW I lost all of the bloat weight basically overnight. I felt better. As of today I'm actually weighing less than my last Jenny Craig appointment and have lost more than 60 pounds. I'm seeing results with weight watchers, and I attribute that to eating real foods every day. I have about 15 pounds to go until the scale says I'm healthy according to the BMI chart. I'm not in this for the data as you put it, but rather I'm in it for my own mental and physical health. I'm so happy to be eating real foods and I'm not eliminating things I like to eat. I'm learning to eat in moderation and to add more fruits, vegetables, and lean meats. As a side note, I remember talking to my hairdresser about my journey. She mentioned that in her 20 years of hairdressing, her clients that did WW were more successful at keeping the weight off than other clients that did other diets. Your video was definitely helpful in helping me to know some potential pitfalls and how to avoid them. Thank you for this. Also your weight loss is an inspiration! 95 pounds is incredible!

I am not going to track calories because I will get overwhelmed or obsessive about it.

I really like what you said about the scale. I never thought about it like that. Thanks

Thank you Jenn for all your tips for being successful on a WW journey. I'm a lifer who has gained wt. back & forth for years. Going to try again and keep your tips in mind.

Great video! I've been off and on ww for years and I've made most of these same mistakes. The thought I've been having lately is why pay for ww when you have to double track anyway and we know we aren't getting what we need just sticking strictly to points? Seems like the thing to do would be just count calories/pay attention to macros. I'd welcome anyone's input on this🙂

Starting Monday I’m going to change that. I’m drinking to much. I’m only going to drink 64 oz per day now. You really helped me. Will change from ff cheeses to 2% cheeses. Thank you thank you. Xoxo
