My mom did it, and she LOVED it. Well, still loves it. She is in the maintenance phase, but she lost around 100 lbs, and she looks and feels absolutely fantastic. She was on some cancer meds that made it really difficult for her to lose weight, but WW worked so, so well for her. She said she'd recommend to anyone she knows. If I had the money, I would do it too!
I did it online before I was pregnant and lost 19lbs in 3.5 months. I just joined again on Friday since I am now done bfing (you can do it while bfing, I just didn't want to b/c I was concerned about supply). If you are the type of person who will hold yourself accountable then it works well. I have always done it "with" friends from work or whatever and it makes it easier b/c you can do your lunches together etc. I have had friends have good luck with the meetings as well.
I definitely suggest the meetings if possible! I lost 22lbs in 2 months (I have a LOT to lose from pre0baby...) I tried online before and just didn't have the accountability or willpower to succeed on my own. If you want to try online only, why not do myfitnesspal.com? It is free and very similar.
Good Luck!

I've been very successful with WW in the past, but like PPs said, it's best to attend the meetings if you can. I wouldn't have been very accountable if I'd done the online version. Good luck!
I love it! Ive lost over 20lbs since starting after DD was born. I still have 10lbs to go for now and then maybe another 10. But it works if you can do it.

I started in January and lost 22lbs in 11 weeks. I even went over my points several times. I started at 167 and stopped at 145. It says I should be 134 (5'4) but I noticed a drop in my supply (ebf). So I stopped and now eat sensibly. I'm back up to 148 but my supply is up as well which to me is worth the three pounds. GL

I forgot to add, I did online only and tracked with my iPhone. My dh and mom were also doing it so it helped to have the support. Dh lost about 25 and my mom the same.

I did it online as well. I loved it because I am just into the online experience with it. To me, it seems to be very convenient. Plus, the search engine for the food is awesome!
I think it is worth it. For me, it's better to go to the meetings. Somehow, I feel much more accountable and pay way more attention to what I am doing when I know someone else is going to be seeing the number on the scale.
I lost 27lbs August (8 weeks PP)-December. Stopped in January once I got back to my pre pregnancy weight and just jumped back on yesterday hoping to lose 10-15 more.
Ive been going to meetings and doing online since january and im down 21 pounds, i love ww, i previously lost 60 before i got pregnant and had some thyroid problems. the first time i did online only which i found was easier pre baby, now that i have a kid the meetings work for me because i need that extra motivation! its $50 to do both online and meetings a month
I lost 27lbs between late August and December. I just got back on at the beginning of this week.
I really think it's worth it.
