Cons: The Core Plan requires discipline; tendency to eat junk with the Flex Plan.
Summary: I am a lifetime member of Weight Watchers. For me eating anything I want works. When we came back from our vacation two summers ago I had gained weight. So back I went to a meeting and much to my surprise the point system had changed. Weight Watchers now ... read more

Pros: Health-conscious; wide variety; flexible; can cook for your family without giving them diet food
Cons: Dieters can go overboard if not careful; website needs improvement
Summary: I love the Core/No Counting program. I'm on it to lose my post-pregnancy weight, and have found it to be a nutrition-focused, flexible way to keep me on track. Core's premise ensures that the majority of the foods you eat are nutrient-dense, while ... read more

Pros: Shakes up the old program and does away with some of the points counting.
Cons: Did not excite me. Does not really address overeating issues.
Summary: I’ve admitted before to being a diet junkie. Since having children and large pregnancies, I’ve found that weight is a bit more difficult to lose. No longer can I simply cut out a few calories each day and lose weight. Now, I need to focus and I need to ... read more

Pros: Caring staff, fun exercises and meetings
Cons: "Bookkeeping" connected with the flex plan (but it worked)

Pros: No more counting points.
Cons: Your limited to a strict list of foods.
Summary: In my opinion, I prefer the CORE program to the Flex program. While I'd admit, the CORE program is not for everyone it works for me. I am a former Atkins follower and eating all that high fat food got old really fast, which made the program hard to

Pros: Health
Cons: Requires a desire for good health, not a fast fix, to be effective
Summary: Although I can agree with the previous reviewers' basic explanation of Weight Watcher's Core Plan, I feel that it's necessary to say that this is NOT A LOW CARB DIET!!! The Core Plan does strive to eliminate refined and overly processed carbohydrates

Pros: Easy to understand. Simple planning.

Pros: Points, weight Watchers dessert, on line access, you can still drink alcohol!
Cons: The quantity you can eat of certain foods is very restricted.
Summary: I have tried different weight loss programmes before but this is the only only one that has worked for me. Counting points enabled me to cut down on the quantity I was eating without having to cut out very many foods I enjoy. Also I could still drink
