Weight Watchers

I used to. I have an issue with the promotion of ww food and sodas (waist watchers soda is a WW product) that doesn't fit in with my whole foods approach to eating. However, there is a lot of research behind ww. They are a fine company for helping folks lose weight in an accountable environment. Also look into TOPS and Overeaters Anonymous for less expensive alternatives.

I've done Weight Watchers, on and off, for years. I like flexibility and I like that you can eat any food you want, in moderation. I'm seriously thinking about dropping it, though. The newest version of the plan, Smart Points, isn't working for me. The new plan basically steers you away from carbs, and I do not function well on a plan that eliminates an entire food group.

I am a lifetime weight watcher member and do not like the new program. I followed it religously for 3 weeks and gained 2.4 pounds. I didn't even indulge in any holiday goodies!! I am dropping Smart Points and trying to track my calories through this program to lose the weight I gained over the last 3 weeks.

I joined WW about 10 weeks ago and for the first time in 20 years am steadily losing about 1lb a week. I don't buy WW products, I've always home cooked from scratch and continue to do so as I enjoy cooking. No one forces you to buy them Just like no one is standing by the sweet counter in the supermarket forcing us to eat choccy. The new plan was a bit strange at first but it does encourage healthy carbs and good fats. It's definitely not low carb unless you want it to be, infact WW is what every you want it to be as you can eat everything as long as you count. It just pushes you towards healthy choices.
I do loads of bicycling now and still manage to fit in a protein shake after a workout and use my weeklies for big workout days. The best part is weigh in nights keep me accountable.
