Weight Watchers Review #73 by Tim on March 3rd, 2010 at 8:29 AM CST

I believe its all about will power, I lost 153 pounds with weight watchers and also worked out 3 days a week with a personal trainer, It took me 2 years and I felt great, But after reaching my goal I stopped both and of course i've gained back, so far 35 pounds. WW didn't teach me enough, but i also have to take responsibility for my actions, If I want it bad enough I'll keep it off If I don't I won't. The only one I have to blame is myself From what I'm reading nutrisystem sounds like the best deal.

I don't think Weight Watchers goes far enough teaching lasting lifestyle changes. Their program is so focused on points (and food in general) that they miss the root of the problem -- bad eating habits and/or turning to food for happiness. Food should be fuel to live our lives, not something we obsess about all day, like where to eat, what to eat, how much I need to starve myself today so I can gorge myself tomorrow... We have it all backwards in America and it's no wonder 2 out of 3 people are overweight. Eat to live, not live to eat. I think diets like Nutrisystem and Jenny are much better, because they teach portion control and reinforce healthy eating habits. Habits you can carry with you the rest of your life. WW doesn't teach these lifestyle skills, probably because they need your lifetime of membership fees.

weight watchers is a good program and not a diet, if you can't stay on it ,it is because you don't want to see what you eat .they don't make choice's about the food you eat ,you do that ,if you choose to eat all your points in high points value then that is your fault not ww. i was on it my first week and stayed on 22 points ,with the list of filling foods in the book, i lost a lb a day and i was not hungry, they give you options but you make your on choice . so over all weight watchers is the best in my book.the meetings are to make you feel accountable ,but if you weigh at home ,then you don't have any thing to look forward to . i am guilty of that. well don't knock ww ,it is a good program,any diet program out there gets your money ,but after you reach your goal at ww ,it is free unless you gain over 2 lbs in a month ,then you will pay until you lose it ,
