Pros: Weight Watchers is clearly a success for many.
Cons: I'm hungry and miserable and over my points!
Summary: That is my point allotment. How the heck do you manage that? Is there a 20-point/day weekly menu anywhere? I am over my points every day and still starving. (I can't eat any artificial sweeteners, so some of my daily points are taken up with ... read more

Pros: Support helps more than you know
Cons: Costly and you have to be motivated
Summary: I went to my first weight watchers meeting in May of last year. I would have to say that it was a definate step in the right direction. I couldn't believe how much fun I had and I could lose some weight too --not possible!
It was quite ... read more

Pros: Loose weight
Cons: Costs too much

Pros: There is tremendous support in my group. Weighing, while done with others around, is still far away enough from them to be quite private.
Cons: It's not a magic bullet. It is some work.
Summary: I decided to try weight Watcher's because I took stock of my mother's and grandmother's ages when they died and after a very tiny amount of arithmetic found that I have about 16 years left to live if I follow their path. Well, I want to see my beautiful ... read more

Pros: people to talk to about your weight problem
Cons: It costs money
Summary: I have never done this, but my mother did. She was really enjoying it when she first started doing it. Eventually though she stopped going. I don’t really know why. I guess it was hard for her to make it to the meetings every week. They also moved ... read more

Pros: Can food shop like normal - no pills or "one type" foods only
Cons: None
Summary: I have been attending Weight Watcher's 1-2-3 Success Community Meetings for 2 years now, and have had great success. Our area isn't big enough to support a Traditional Meeting, so Community meetings were the only way we could go - either that or not ... read more

Pros: No forbidden foods
Cons: Can be pricey if you have a lot of weight to lose
Summary: ...if you are willing to put forth the effort. Weight Watchers is not a fad diet, in fact, they will tell you it's not a diet it all. Weight Watchers is billed as a life style change rather than a diet. I'd agree, but for me, the life style change was

Pros: You are given enough flexibility to eat three meals, snacks and are satisfied.
Cons: It isn't going to work unless it is treated as a lifestyle change.
Summary: I had tried many "quick fix" products before a friend of mine tried Weight Watchers. She joined in September of 2001 under Winning points, and was feeling great about it. I joined in October 2001 after having been drinking shakes for two months. What
