Personally, I think Weight Watchers is the best program out there for weight loss and lifestyle change. Sure it's not a "diet" but that's the point, and that's why it actually works. I lost 60 pounds on Weight Watchers and did a good job keeping it off. That was 7 years ago, and in that time I've only gained 20 pounds back, total. And that fluctuates. I think it's a fantastic method because even if you don't strictly adhere to it after you meet your goal - you can't erase what you learned about food, and that guilt will linger for the rest of your life every time you consider eating some of the things that you KNOW are really bad for you.

I agree, the WW program works, if you follow the plan. If you get all your requirements in (5 fruits and vegetables, water, oil etc.) you aren't always using your points on bad carbs. My thing is breads and chips, salty things. I decided to try the Core plan and I love it. I wasn't sure if I could do it because you have to count breads, chips, etc, but I haven't had a problem with it. It allows me 35 points a week for the breads and 100 calorie packs, and other things not on the core plan, so I don't go overboard on these foods. I find myself eating a lot more fruit for snacking on rather than chips and I haven't been hungry. Plus you can have the 94% fat free popcorn on the core plan if you need that salt fix.

I agree with view # 25; Weight Watchers is not a diet but a nutrional life style change! I loved Weight Watchers it helped me lose 12 pounds. I eventually could not afford it and had to drop membership. I do not see the value of on-line membership; where does the support come from doing it on-line.
