I'm thinking about trying it, but I wanted to hear from actual people, not just the people on their website.

I did not lose weight using them, but I did maintain my weight loss using their point system. My mom DID lose weight using the system. It's one of the easier systems out there.

My boyfriend's mom was obese when we started to date. She started weight watchers and dropped at least 40 pounds in a course of a year.
From what I understand, weight watchers teaches you how to fill up on foods with a low point value. Like you can eat that piece of cake, but it will take up half your points for a day, so it would be more satisfying to eat healthier foods.

I have three coworkers who do it and they are obese and I haven't noticed them losing any weight over the past year. Now my sister also tried it and lost weight for the first couple of weeks, then gained that back and then some in the next month. :shrugs: You know the drill, eat fewer calories then you burn. Easy to say, hard to do...

It's a waste of time and money. The loss is very slow-1-2 pounds a week. And there is the chance you will overeat because they let you eat virtually anything.

Yes. Weight Watchers works! It's a great program and if you stick to it the pounds will fall off. It takes time though. Be patient.

stats show that most people who do gain it back within one year. This is because they haven't gained any muscle to keep burning fat. Weightwatchers is effective but only when you include exercise.

no I've used it many of times. what I have found is that I'm still hungry after a meal. they cut down your cals, by using a point system, but they allow you to eat anything you want.
read my blog about what to eat to lose weight, there is a link in my profile.
God bless

Yea, not me personally, but my mom tried it out. She lost over 25 pounds and is still losing. It does work.
