Weight Watchers Reviews

At this point in the history of Weight Watchers there are a few different ways you can work this program. I use the point system. At one time I could eat between 18-23 points a day. This is based on my weight. The program now gives me a fixed number - 20 - with 35 points a week to use whenever I want. The math is the same; they have just put the numbers out a bit differently. I don't believe it matters.

All Weight Watchers products tell us how many points they have so there is no guessing. If you buy food (and you will since, unlike Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers food is not...

Back in 2000 I was wearing a size 18-20 and out of pure desperation and not even recognizing a picture of me as a picture of me I signed up for Weightwatchers online.  The first 2 weeks I lost 7 pounds.  I learned how to track and figure point values for food and then something amazing happened.  Three or four months in I just woke up feeling different, what had happened is that I finally understood that my weight problem was not just the food that I was eating.  It was about not putting myself first.  I lost a total of 79.5 pounds and went from a size 18-20 to a size 7-9.  It took about...

Being from the south I've had a long term love affair with food.  I use to tell my friends, "I never met a biscuit and gravy bowl I didn't like!"  As the years [and weight] began to creep up on me I noticed that stairs and steps became the enemy.  Why . . . my weight had insidiously become a silent problem causing me to rely on elevators, knee braces, etc.  On my forty eighth birthday, my sister who had just turned fifty five decided to join Weight Watchers because she too had a major crush on waffles and hash browns and was severely over-weight.  She asked me to come with her as a support...

All of my life I had struggled with my weight. Between my love for food and my resistance to "diet plans" (really, how does a plan where you starve yourself for a limited time keep the weight off long term?) I thought I was destined to be overweight forever and simply couldn't understand why I couldn't eat like "normal" people and look like "normal" people, too.

By the time my weight had ballooned up from 160 to 200 pounds post-college, I knew I had to do something, however, or else my health would be at risk. At a friend's recommendation, I checked out Weight Watchers on-line program and felt...

I went to WeightWatchers in Colorado Springs, and Killeen, TX. In both states, I found the leaders to be very well informed and personable. Even the beginner leaders that only had a few meetings under their belt were great!

I like the support group aspect of it. It's good to be with people that have shared the same struggles and hear from people who have overcome those. They have great tools for getting past a plateau and other common weight-loss issues. When you go to an in-person meeting, they often share great recipes. They also have great local supermarket finds that help you shave off the...

Weight Watchers.  It's been around a long time, since before I was born.  I went to a meeting with my mom when I was ten and felt the energy of the women in the room, excited about losing a pound or two.  When I got married I gained weight quickly on fast food.  Weight Watchers was my way out of those big jeans with the elastic waist!

I remembered the encouragement that those women in 1979 were receiving from the meeting leaders...announcing goals met, baby steps achieved.    Encouragement and understanding because they have been through it too. That's why I decided to try the program....
