Weight Watchers Reviews

My opinion on weight watchers, I know a young lady who tried weight watchers and she told me that it didn't work for her at all. I say drink plenty of water, put small amount of food on your plate, exercise at least 3 times weekly, watch your sugar count and get plenty of sleep. Your body will be in shape without weight watchers or taking diet pills.

have done weight watchers twice, after the birth of my children. I have tried the new points system and I haven't lost much weight. I have been on it for about four months and lost about 10 pounds. I am very frustrated with it and haven't seen the results like I had the first two times (30 pounds). I am older now (40) and realize my metabolism has slowed. Just pretty unhappy.                   Name I am a Lifetime Member. Rejoined to lose some weight in July, 2012. Using the extra points and counting carbs and protein have not worked for me. I have lost 3 pounds in 5 months. It is taking longer on the new plan. Purchased their new materials, calculator, etc. The extra money is great for weight watchers. The results stink.

Name I am a WW lifetime member. I joined 9 years ago and lost 100 pounds in less than a year, it worked but I was pretty much perfect. I kept the weight off even after having two kids until this last year. When they changed to Points Plus all I can seem to do is gain weight. I workout tons and still can't seem to get back to my weight. In the last year on the new program, going on and off I gained 20 pounds and can't seem to get it off. I don't think the new WW program is worth the $16/week. I think they are making it harder for people to lose weight so they pay more since it will take longer. On the old plan 2 pounds a week was easy, now getting over 1 pound two weeks in a row is almost impossible. Hopefully they bring back the old plan that used calories, since it's all about calories in. I am a WW lifetime member.

Weight Watchers encourages weight loss with a sensible diet of healthy, ordinary foods, combined with exercise and a positive attitude. The program has been evaluated in a number of clinical studies, and researchers conclude that it's an effective diet plan. Reviewers say Weight Watchers is flexible and accommodates people with special dietary needs, including vegetarians. The cost is also much less than commercial programs that require the use of prepackaged foods, although the weekly fee for in-person meetings can add up quickly. Meeting fees vary based on location, but average $13 to $15 per week. An online version is also available (*Est. $19/month).
Weight Watchers focuses on in-person support and counting calories in the form of "points." The point system was overhauled in 2010, and reviewers say these changes make Weight Watchers even better, although many long-term members are annoyed by having to relearn the point values of their favorite foods. They also say that some sources of the old point system, including cookbooks, are now outdated. The new system, called Points Plus, places more focus on whole foods and fresh produce, which nutritionists say is a great improvement. Overall, Weight Watchers has a much better long-term record than any other diet plan, including Slim-Fast (*Est. $20 per week for shakes/bars).
Weight Watchers is reviewed by numerous medical and general-interest publications, including ConsumerReports.org, U.S. News & World Report, The Journal of the American Medical Association, the British Medical Journal, Health magazine and WebMD. User opinions can be found at Viewpoints.com
