Weight Watchers Review

I would recommend Weight Watchers to anyone casuaully trying to lose weight. In August of 2007, my dad, my brother and I all started Weight Watchers (with the books and calculator, but did not go to the meetings). I lost a total of 20 pounds, my dad lost 35 pounds, and my brother lost 25 pounds. The program is really easy to learn and also easy to follow. You don't have to cut anything out of your diet- you can still have cookies, chips, and pop, but all in moderation. Writing down what you eat and using the point system makes you feel accountable for your actions, which can help in your decision-making process. As a soon-to-be dietician, out of all the commercial diets, I would say that Weight Watchers is the best. However, it depends on the individual; it may not work for some. Weight Watchers, unlike others, teaches you healthy eating habits and influence you to make lifestyle changes and it doesn't make you dependent on the program nor the program's products. You learn how to eat healthfully at a restaurant and how small changes to your physical activity can really help. Following the program makes you feel healthier and can increase confidence. Having a support system, like the meetings, or even better, friends or family members, really helps. Going at it alone can be tricky when late night hunger strikes. But if you have the will to lose the weight, you will succeed and be able to keep it off.
