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The points-based method of Weight Watchers is outdated and doesn’t go far enough to promote healthy lifestyle changes.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.

This reply is to Kim's post (review #76): Kim, I feel your pain with WW. I rejoined a couple weeks ago and was disappointed to learn with the new Points Plus plan, you can no longer use the points finder, but needed to BUY a calculator...which they and all the surrounding cities were out of!!!

After telling the leader I didn't have a computer @ home she said "you can use your Smart Phone" I informed her I didn't have one of those either..that I had a Dumb Phone and she looked puzzled at the fact that I didn't have a computer OR a Smart Phone.

I think it's a bunch of crap that they kept selling WW items in their centers til the end of 2010 (cookbooks, etc.), I'm sure knowing it would be useless @ the beginning of 2011, but they did it anyway. I think it's just a money making scheme; what was wrong with the regular points plan?..

I do not recommend the Points Plus program. I am currently a member and am regretting every minute of rejoining. If you start please be prepared to gain initially (and yes your meeting leader will tell you the same). When you do start losing it will be around 1.2 or 1.6 pounds a week. When comparing the Flex Points to the new system, the FP allows one to lose 2.3 to 2.7 pounds. I have my own view of why WW has come up with the "New and Improved" Points Plus AND as to why they chose their latest spokesperson; however, I will keep that one to myself.

Not a fan of WW. I did it a little over a year ago after I had a baby and was happy at first as I did lose about 15-20 lbs in 2-3 months. At first I was obsessed with point counting but after a while it got old. Once I wasn't so into the point counting I gained weight back.

I just rejoined in Jan online and as soon as I did I realized they changed their point system and point values thus rendering all my previously bought supplies (cookbooks etc) and memorized point values useless. So I went on and canceled less than 10 minutes later and they wouldn't refund all my money. I'd paid for the 3 month value plan. They only said they'd switch me to the one month plan so I only had to pay the sign up fee and for one month which meant of the $50 something dollars I paid I got back $6 for 10 min on their website. I also recall when I'd first joined the program it being "new" and them having "new" materials.

I think they switch it up every couple of years so that they lifetimers have to keep buying new stuff. This is not a diet for those with a busy lifestyle. If you got plenty of time to track your food and count your points it might work for you.

Anyways, I've just signed up with Nutrisystem after reading the reviews on here and should be receiving my stuff soon.
