I need to loose some weight and was wondering if many people out there have had luck with Weight Watchers? Do you really feel that getting support from others is the difference? I just don't know if I would be able to make a meeting each week.

Yes I lost 35lbs. I went to meeting for the first month, got my book and all the info, signed up for etools online (you are supposed to use this in addition to the meetings) but I quit going to the meetings and just used the etools to keep me on track. The etools is cheaper than "WW online" and includes pretty much the same things. You can also go to the message boards now you do not have to be a member and ask questions there and read good tips.

I first began to lose weight with weight watchers. I found it helped me with portions and to be more food conscious because you deal with the fat, calories, etc. with everything. I was only on it for a month or so but I lost 15lbs really quick! this was my sophomore year in high school. I continued to lose after that. I am not sure about the support part of it because since I was young the people there seemed put off by me. You have to want it enough for yourself. Though the SmartOnes meals are good if you want to diet, though I do not recommend frozen meals diet or not. It is easy to start small and cut out the little hidden things like butter with cooking, soda, sugar, etc. you would be surprised! Not sure if this helped but you won't be out anything if you try it!
Good luck!

I personally havent had any experience with the program, but my mom had great success. She lost 25 pounds (I think it took her less than 6 months..but Im not really sure). The thing that kept her going was actually the meetings (she didnt go to all of them either). Because everyone weighs in, she felt motivated to stay on the program.
I also had a teacher on Weight Watchers for a year or something and she lost 70 pounds. So I think Weight Watchers is a great program!

I've been going to WW for a little over a year and have lost over 50 lbs and kept it off easily.
The meetings are great and the people are friendly. We have two men in our group who have done very well.
WW is the BEST way to loose weight because it isn't a diet, it's a way of life.
I eat anything I want, all I do is watch my portion size.
It's easy and our meetings are fun.
I say, "Go for it! You'll never regret it."

It's the best program out there because it actually teaches you how to eat properly for life. You understand why you are eating the right foods and planning your own meals, not just following someone's diet. You can go to any meeting to sit in and watch if you want to before joining.

I gotta buddy who's been on it and he's lost hella weight! No joke. I bet he's down like 50 lbs. He said he hates the meetings (cause he's the only dude) but he likes being healthier. I say go for it. Good luck to you!

It totally works but...
You have to treat it as a lifestyle change. If you lose the weight and go back to eating crappy, you'll just gain it back.
You have to stick to the program. Just like any plan, if you don't do it, it doesn't work.
You have tons of support--meetings, online, friends.
You don't have to go to meetins every week, pick a plan that works for you!

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I did this and lost 12 pounds and 19 inches in 9 days. I continued and lost 29 pounds in a month. I like the program since it works by giving your body nutrition through protein shakes with digestive enzymes and vitamins and then cleansing out the toxins. We get toxins in our bodies from pesticides, preservatives, water, pollution, medications, food additives etc…. These toxins enter our bodies and get stored in our fat cells. To shrink the fat, we need to get rid of the toxins through cleansing. The program also has a natural diet pill to help your metabolism and curb cravings. It works and it works fast. My skin has improved from the cleansing. You can get more info at this toll free number 1-877-587-4647. It is pricey but worth it! I think cleansing is really important to health and weight loss. Give it a try and good luck! http://diet4cleansing.com

You can also do it online. There are also some online forums that follow the mentality and provide online support. http://www.healthdiscovery.net/forums/index.php?
