Bottom Line
The points-based method of Weight Watchers is outdated and doesn’t go far enough to promote healthy lifestyle changes. For better success, stick with diets like Nutrisystem or Medifast Diet.

I agree with the comments above that WW worked better when it was the exchange program. I HATE the points system. I tried it and it took forever only to lose a couple of pounds. I lost consistently when I did the exchange program. I was able to find the food exchanges on web.

I noticed too when I did the points system that I focused more on food and carbs. Since I found the exchanges of the foods I eat, I don't focus on food like I use to. I'm counting calories and exercising and the weight is coming off.

I do not like WW at all! When I started the plan, i only had a small amount of weight to lose. I didn't excersise much, but I always ate well. Now, I have been on plan, following everything for almost a year, and have gained 10 pounds! Impossible you might say; but I think I know why.....

I began to obsess over counting points and counting all my activities to the point of becoming abnormally focused on food. I never used to look at food this way. Instead, I would eat well, sometimes have a treat, but usually just watch myself the next few weeks when I would eat something caloric. Now, I crave carby food all the time, can;t look at anything without seeing the points, and I am broke from giving them all my money as well as gym membership money. Well, at least they got me excersising, but now i'm fatter than ever....sigh....i'm canceling my plan

I wish weight watchers would go back to the old program 15 years ago.

I don't have the time or patients to count every fat, fiber, etc on everything I eat. I am a lifetime member with WW but have gained back 1/2 of the 110 Ibs I lost way back when.

I you have the time and patients to count everything go for it but the old

system worked for me. I did contact WW and asked them If they'd provide the old plan and they said no; booh hoo.
