I am looking for people who have tried weight watchers and can explain how it worked for them positive or negative.
This plan seems to be the smartest You do not eliminate any foods you shoot for balance.
Please give me all of the feedback you have.
WHat is the upfront cost??Is it reasonable for most people?

Thanks

I lost 30 on weight watchers and have kept it off easily. I still want to lose another 30 so I am recommitting myself to keeping a journal again and working on it.

Right now through January is free registration, which is usually $15. Then it is $9.95 a month or if you buy the ten weeks of passes it is $8.95. If the money thing is a real issue, you might be able to volunteer for them and then the meetings are free.

It is actually very easy to do. The most important part is the journaling. The whoe point of the program is to learn proper eating habits and you can not do that without journaling.

Good luck and let us know how it goes for you.

HI I just started WW on Saturday. The registration was free. Then you can pay weekly or buy special packages. If you are a student you pay 9.00 wkly and if you are not you pay around 11.00 wkly for weekly meetings and weigh-ins. Based on your weight you get certain points a day. You eat food till all the points are up but you have to balance your points throughout the day. PLus you get 35 additional points for the week and if you want to lose more weight then you don't use the 35. THE extra points are for unexpected bad days, family reunions, or just when you need them. Then the more you lose weight, then the less points a day. I hope you find this info helpful.

The secret to weight watchers is VEGETABLES. Buy a juicer...you will be surprised how good a mix of juiced veggies and fruit can taste with LOW calories.

Weight Watchers is simply the best diet plan there is...period!! No gimmicks. It is just PORTION CONTROL. You eat a variety of healthy foods, in healthy quantities.

Seveal years ago I lost over 40 pounds on that diet. I actually ate BETTER on the diet than off of it. I ate a better variety of foods, tastier foods and healthier foods.

I would recommend Weight Watchers to anyone. Still, you will need to be committed.
