My experience with Weight Watchers Online

5. It's working for me.

Sorry I'm a little late to this thread, but I was just poking around DU and found it.

I was in WW back in the '80s when they were using the diabetic diet formula of exchanges. I lost about 60 pounds on that program.

Lately my weight started to creep up, no matter how much I denied it. After looking at myself in the mirror one morning in March, I made up my mind to rejoin. SInce then, I have lost about 11 pounds, and have about 13 more to go until I get back to where I want to be. I am nearing 10% of my goal. I'm just glad I joined when I did.

At first I wasn't particularly thrilled with the new program, but now I love it. I don't feel deprived at all. (I'm at the lowest end of the daily points scale, at 26). Keeping a daily food diary is becoming second nature again, and I'm finding I'm making overall better food choices.

I go to weekly meetings, but to be honest, I don't really find them useful -- I'm not a particularly social person, so I don't find a great deal of support in the "caring and sharing" every week. I mainly go for the weigh-in because for some reason I prefer stepping on the scale there than at home. (Don't ask me why.)

I can't recommend this program highly enough -- it's true what they say. If you work the plan, it works for you.
