Weight Watchers online

CaptainD

Hi all! I will probably be hanging out here a lot now. I am going to start working out and eating better when my husband and I get home from visiting my family. I was thinking about joining Weight Watchers online but wanted to see what others think about it. Any reviews?

Try sparkpeople.com instead. Virtually the same thing, only free! Not that WW is bad...

I've never used WW, but I love sparkpeople.com. It really made a big difference to see the actual calories I was consuming and made me think twice about portions and choices. I increased my exercise and counted calories on sparkpeople and was able to lose about 20lbs in 3 months before I got pregnant. I'm still tracking calories to keep myself in check!

I did WW before becoming pregnant and LOVED it!  I lost 25 lbs and kept it off for two years (until I got pregnant).  I used the online tools and attended meetings because I need the accountability.  It is a fabulous program and I plan on going back to meetings in May after my baby is born.

I love WW. Was on it for a while before getting married. They just revamped the program to allot more points due to reserch they conducted. I like being able to go to the meetings for accountability as well as using the online tools. GL

I agree with pp that WW is awesome, especially due to the ability to attend weekly meetings for support/accountability.  I truly think that is what had made the difference for me.  I did sparkpeople for a while but was not good about being consistent and WW meetings have helped me immensely.

I have talked to a lot of people that were successful losing weight.  The common factor in every case was eating a lot of vegetables, some fruit and carefully controlling portions of everything else.  I had a ton of success with WW 10 years ago, but now I am using thedailyplate.com (free) to track my calories and incorporating what I have learned about eating veggies.  I am on day 5 and haven't been hungry at all.  I have lost 1 lb so far.  I am annoyed at myself for not starting 2 months ago because it really hasn't been that hard.

What ever you chose I wish you much success!
