I was successful with losing weight on Weight Watchers. However, I was NOT successful at keeping it off. I agree with the other comments about how WW doesn't really teach you to eat healthy and that you spend a lot of time thinking about what to eat and when to eat next. I think it is a great diet for someone who have never tried to lose weight before, because by simply managing your portions to stay within your points range, you will lose weight. However, if you want to learn how to lead a healthy life, this is not the best option out there.

I agree. I don’t think weight watchers teaches people to eat healthy. What I learned was how to eat the most for the least amount of points. And the meetings were far from group therapy; it was mostly people talking about how to eat the most food for the least amount of points. There really was no mention of eating smaller portions of nutritious foods. I knew people who would eat cake for dinner or a pile of broccoli because they had no points left.
