Weight Watchers....?

I lost 55 lbs on Weight Watchers in 1987. I kept that weight off for 12 years. When I started to put some back on, I went on my own diet of 6 small meals a day which also worked great. The thing is - with Weight Watchers - you are accountable to yourself when you get on the scale. Someone is also watching and letting you know. The group thing was great for me - some people don't like it. You have to be dedicated and go to the meetings. I liked it very much. I also know that with that diet - I was NEVER hungry - there was always something I could eat! Good luck - you CAN do it!

I gained 16 pounds with weight watchers, (over 2 attempts), however, it seems to work well for everyone else! My mom is a big lady and she lost 25 pounds with in a matter of about 6 weeks.

It does work but you have to work it and it gets tiresome counting all the time. I lost 30 pounds but I stopped going and put it back on. It's nothing you can't do on your own but I think the structure and knowing you are getting weighed every week keeps you going. I can't be bothered going back since I know I could do it on my own, plus some of the people in the meetings were annoying and/or had eating disorders.

Weight watchers meet in my church and from what I'v seen and heard from them. If you actually follow their plan and don't detour, it works.
