I am currently participating in the online version of Weight Watchers. It's the best to have happened to me. I don't agree with the notion that WW is pushy in any way or that it doesn't promote exersise. The reason people gain weight after leaving the program is not because of the program's structure, it's because most people on the program were at some point emotional eaters. Michelle, thank you for sharing your story. I would like to know if you were working on your issues while you were on WW. I believe it's not the case and it was a timing issue. I'm glad you have kept the weight off with this new program. So realize, not just you, but everyone that reads these kinds of reviews, no diet plan will work in the long-term if your mental health is not in gear with the plan as well. Mental health meaning the reasons why we are overweight in the first place. I strongly believe that with any diet plan ( I don't consider WW a Diet plan), therapy should be accompanied in order to track your emotional progress as you are loosing weight. I wouldn't have succeeded with WW if it wasn't that I was mentally and emotionally ready to make myself and my health a priority.

OK, I read everyone's reviews, both good and bad. I am still trying to decide if I should join weight watchers. I am a female, 44trs old, 5'6",194lbs,smoker, total hysterectomy 2006 (which caused me to gain 20lbs so far!) and I have hypothyroidism (slow). I try to watch what I eat and I just keep gaining weight! Any advice out there?

I have finally found a program that works, the Healthy For Life Program. It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. Following a low-glycemic plan that dosen't spike your blood sugar. A plan that will help you with your health needs, lowering your cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes and the side effect is weight-loss. What a plus!
