Pros: I tried the recipe builder, and that was helpful, too.
Cons: Absolutely no support from the online program other than help working the site.
The Bottom Line: Basically, it's worth the start-up fee to see if it works for you. No support, and it doesn't work for everyone.

| cdbeardie's Full Review: Weight Watcher's Points Weight Loss Program with F... |
I have been on weight watchers online for over 2 months now. I joined because I had only lost 10 pounds in 3 months counting calories. I have several friends who just raved about the program, so I thought I'd give it a try.After two months, I have lost 5 pounds overall, but most weeks I've actually gained weight. If I eat any of the extra points from the FLEX program, I'll gain weight. If I have anything to drink during the week (alcoholic beverages), I won't lose weight that week. I quit coffee and switched to tea. I realize that at age 54 and 50 pounds overweight, losing weight isn't easy. As for the "eating anything you want", that's not true, either.The points are pretty restrictive. Plus, on the weeks I do everything they ask and I gain weight, there's a little phase that appears on the weight tracker encouraging me to "get back on track this week". That is really frustrating when I've done everything on track!! I will say it's helpful to track what you eat. Overall, it's not been helpful for me to lose weight. The worst is that on the "online" program, there is absolutely no support or anyone to contact if you're not losing weight, or have questions about the program. For that, you have to go to a "meeting", which costs additional money. And, for those doubters, I have measured food, counted EVERYTHING I ate or drank, and exercised 4-5 times per week. Sadly, Weight Watchers doesn't work for everyone.
