and weight watchers when there are so many good free programs that are free. There is a world of information online about fitness and exercise. I just started on a diet and exercise plan and found all the information free. Including food exchange charts, videos, etc all free. So why pay for the info. Help me understand the rational.

Because as PT Barnum said, 'There's a sucker born every minute.'

If they know there's free information, they may look at it. If they don't (look), they just don't feel like reading them or too busy to do that.
They seek the service from Weight Watchers whatever because they have seen the nice marketing hype or they knew of the company by word of mouth. They just want to lose some fat but don't know how, so they choose the simplest way they can afford - let the experts make the plan.
If we have a healthy lifestyle, don't have to make constant check on our body weight. People need to be educated first before they take actions which normally prove futile soon enough in the midway to another complete failure.
PS anyone who is seriously fat should see a DOCTOR first before using any other service, including that from a trainer
^_^ happy holidays to you all

Because, many people lose faith in other diets which tend to counter their effect. They put their trust into this one hoping it will work. Psychological mindset directly varies to weight loss (proven repeated numbers of times). Also, some diets just don't work for certain people. It is possible that these people are trying Jenny Craig to see if it can help them.

commercials make it look so easy! but the food portions are very small and its almost deceiving. there are a lot of people who would rather spend money than to actually put in the work. they usually end up gaining more weight bcuz they feel like they've failed and eat to numb their pain

Well some people may feel overwhelmed by the whole process and feel it would be worth the money to let an expert help them.
NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY AND FAT. I can't believe you people. Seriously. Those poor people have no where else to turn. If they felt capable of researching it on their own then they'd probably wouldn't be overweight in the first place, because they'd have been capable of controling their life in the first place.
You people and your fuc*ing stigmas, makes me sick.

Too lazy to workout!!! Thats the way to stay healthy. A good diet also plays a part but working out should be # 1.
