Should I start before or after the holidays

[ChristySmiles]

I think I'm going to give weight watchers a try, but I want to know if it would be smarter for me to start before the holidays or if I should wait until all the festivities are over (including Christmas). What would you do?

I would start now. If you wait until after the holidays, you're less likely to do it. Don't ever wait when it comes to starting a diet. There really isn't logical reason to wait. And with Christmas coming, I would say that it's better to start now so you pay attention to what you're eating over the holidays.

I agree with antoniojones. Start now. As tempting as it is to wait until after the holidays, you're only making an excuse for not starting. If you're serous about wanting to lose weight. There's not time like the present to start shedding the pounds. Remember, weight loss that stays off take commitment and a lifestyle change. Whether you do it today or a month from now, eventually you'll experience a holiday where you'll be following your new diet, so why not make it this year :)

If you haven't already started Christysmiles, definitely start now. I also think that there is no point in waiting. Putting off a goal is just giving yourself an excuse. Losing weight is never easy no matter if you start it today or tomorrow, but the long you wait the harder it is. Take action :)

Hopefully by this point you've already started haha! How's it going and which one did you decide to do? Did you wait or did you do it right away?

Thanks for all your advice and thanks for asking Tara! I actually did decide to start right away and I"m glad I did. I thought about waiting and realized I was just ultimately giving myself an excuse not to start when I had no reason not to. I've been doing well and like the program. So far I've lost 3 pounds and I'm really proud of myself!
