Kerli I think that Weight Watchers is a great way to lose weight, if people really want to lose weight then they can make healthier food choices, it's not up to Weight Watchers to make them eat the "good" food for you, it's up to the people if they really want to lose the weight. Weight Watchers tries to help you make healthier food choices, so really it's up to the person who wants to lose weight. 5/31/2011
Alex Brockway I am a active weight watcher watcher. I have found the system that is almost second nature at some point. True counting calories is rather difficult but overall you can master this system fairyly quickly. And for someone rich as me the cost has no affect. Im down to 328 pounds already, that a loss of 2 in the 4 weeks ive been doing it

Tia Rhodes my daughter has joined me up for the on line plan, I have had a look but its not something I would use its too time consuming and I fear she has wasted her money, it was yesterday can I get her money refunded. She also joined herself so I hope it would not be an issue. 4/19/2010
Jo is this diet good for at risk diabetic? 4/2/2010
Liz Weight Watchers is GREAT! It has helped me. I lost 35 lbs in 7 months and keeping it off! 3/18/2010
Katie It is $17.95 a month for the online program after the first month of $47.90. They run specials often. The current one is 3 months for $53.85 and then $17.95. Since most people who pay for a diet program have about 24# to lose, (the amount you'd typically lose in three months), there'[s no fear of wasting the money. 2/8/2010
Barb I think WW is expensive, on line and meetings as well. You would think a company this big would be more cost friendly. I did WW a couple of years ago, and lost weight, so I know it works. I never renewed because of the cost. I'm trying it again on my on using the same tools I did when I was on the program before. I have a point calculator, and a food list book..I'm on my way. 1/13/2010
Candi I think its a great guide for teaching me how much I should be eating. That is the biggest advantage. I do the online version only. I do grow weary of counting and weighing but it works. I think it encourages exercise because you get points for doing it! That means you get that treat you wanted today. That helps. I think its a good program if you use it to learn how to be self-reliant in the future after meeting your goal. As stated, you cant do it forever. 10/14/2009
lisa I think the disadvantages are so wrong. its not a lifetime of counting calories. it will teach you eventually what you can have in a day. its a way to show you a healthy way of eating and being aware of the calorie content 10/2/2009
takeena i have taken ww for three years and had no results i hate it 9/11/2009
Deb E WW on-line cost only $16.95/month. There MAY be a first time registration fee of $29 but many times specials are run w/o registration fee and specials of first 3 months for $45. This is a very effective AND inexpensive on-line program. The "points" system is very useful and not confusing at all. I have lost a total of 50lbs in 8months. That was a year ago and still following to maintain. Yes, it is a life process for many and you learn to condition your eating habits. A portion of something "tastes" the same whether it is big or small, so why not satisfy your craving with a "small" portion? Weight Watchers is an Awesome program. Like anything else you must believe in yourself and go for the goal! 6/18/2009
Blah That is really weird i would have never known :) Maybe school is a good thing.. :)) 4/16/2009
kacper I recommend this program to my friends that gain a bit of extra weight. We may be young but we can be lazy at times. All we need to do is put our mind to it and we can succeed in anything. 10/20/2008
J. Morris I stopped reading after a point because this is just not true. The costs that you are mentioning is not true, the fact that you have to count points, is not entirely true because there are two plans; one that counts points and one that doesn't, and fyi, the reason you're taught that you can eat anything and still lose weight is because you can. This is a lifestyle program not a quick fix and most don't want to eat celery and carrots daily for the rest of their lives so this teaches you how to be accountable for the choices that you make and how the choices impact you and simply not to say no to a food that you like just because it's not a "diet" food. Weight Watchers is a lifestyle change, not a diet. 10/8/2007
JASON WEIGHT WATCHERS PROGRAM WHAT IS THE HOLD SITUATION? 6/5/2007
Jamell Glover how do you lose weugth by using the weight watchers program? 6/5/2007
kevin dan with that uni brow you look that the caveman on the commerical on tv this progam is not good at all i think that you should just give it up because nobody like you and the only reason why you made this program was because you are really fat and you have no friends and so you thought that all the fat people would like cause they thought you were trying to help them lose weight and you really mad them gain weight so now they do not like you so just give on trying to make peple lose weight cause it is not working fat ass 2/28/2007

Blanche I have been following the WW points program FAITHFULLY for almost 2 weeks and I was amazed at the 9 lbs I lost, but the day after I lost the extra 2 pounds, I get weighed in and found out that I had GAINED the 2 lbs back.....How can this be when you follow the points ???? Confused and now Frustrated :( 5/18/2006
WWzilla I think WW does emphasize exersize. It is made very clear that you are welcome to buy WW products at the meeting or at the store, but it certainly isn't necessary. The food choices are virtually unlimited, portion sizes alas, must be limited. There is a choice where you don't count points at all. It is the most successful long term food plan there is, bar none. 2/9/2006
Deb Working for WW pays almost nothing so it is good that I shouldn't eat much. ha 1/20/2006
Allison I think that weight watchers is an awsome diet plan for a college student. Im 21 now and am in my 4th yr a college, so Im not on it anymore, but when I was I was in my highschool years and let me tell you, it was a confidential diet between your family members and your weight watcher coach. I wasn't over weight at all and I was very active. But just to shed maybe 10 pounds really fastweight watchers worked. I love It!!!! 10/26/2005
Lucinda William I think that weight watchers is a very good method of weight loss. You can eat whatever you want and still lose weight. 10/12/2005
Nichole thanks im doing a research project on this. 10/5/2005
jp you need more pros and cons 9/28/2005
Cathy Whoa $45.00 a month online. No Thanks 9/12/2005
kevin I think ediets is the better of the 2. i've been to ww and wasn't real happy with the commercialization of it. I also thought the women in charge of the meetings were less than happy to see a man there. 9/12/2005
Debbie Actually, WW doesn't push the prepackaged stuff at all. It's there if you want it, but I'm a Lifetime WW member, and I've never eaten any of their prepackaged stuff. 7/6/2005
Kat It's my understanding that WW changed the name of it's Winning Points Program when it introduced a new core plan that provides a guideline to healthy choices without having to track points. In all of the meetings I've ever attended, my weight or weight loss has never been discussed in a group meeting so I wouldn't consider that to be a disadvantage. In addition, did you know that you don't have to buy any of the WW food to follow their program? I also didn't see any mention of the activity (exercise) targets that are included in your weekly plan, even on your point tracking sheet. This review could use a follow up. 5/5/2005
fii yeah but any other diet would cost twice as much.....weight watchers is probably the cheapest . as oppesed to a low carb diets in which you buy all the meat and food made with fake sugars 4/8/2005
Dave I think weight watchers cost too much. The price is unreasonable if not nearly immoral. It is exploitative. Why is there not a reasonablly priced solution? 3/18/2005
bridget you should write more about the weight watchers thing 10/12/2004
