Weight Watchers

Years ago I joined our local Weight Watchers meetings etc... I had wonderful success & lost 25 pounds very easily. A lot has chsnged since then, I work full time, my daughter needs help in the evenings with her homework etc.... My question is, is the WW online judge as "successful" as attending the meetings?? I have got to go something. Seems like I am gaining everyday.

Not a cool thing to do in this forum to post in multiple forums, you'll get whipped with a wet noodle.....but I responded to you in the Beauty forum posting.

Hope that helps.

For me the answer would be no. I am a lifetime member but I attended meetings every single week for as long as it took me to lose what I needed to lose. I need the accountability of weighing in front of someone and having other people around me at the meetings ask me how I did.

However, everyone is different and you may be successful with the on-line program.

I attend the weekly meetings. I have to be weighed each week, plus so much is gained from the other members, and most leaders. I have never tried the online, and don't plan to.

I'd have to agree with this one. But then I adore our "coach/leader". She's great, down to earth, and has been here a long time. You don't feel deserted with her. She's fun and can laugh along with us, and remembers names so well that I'm amazed. She's great.

This. Is such a personal preference. If time is an issue maybe online is your better choice. Years ago I tried weight watchers many times both online and meetings. It was not the right program for me, but many people love it and are successful. I am a fruit and veggie girl and I know what is best for me. Sunday I'm starting a 21 raw food. day challenge online for free. I like eating this way so not so much of a challenge, but I enjoy the commeraderie. Best of luck to you!

I swear by the meetings. As long as I was faithful to my meetings, I did great. This summer when my stress level was high, I stopped going to meetings it was like stopping my lifeline of support at a time when I was the weakest. No accountability online. Also, their scales are more accurate than mine.
