Bottom Line The points-based method of Weight Watchers is outdated and doesn’t go far enough to promote healthy lifestyle changes. For better success, stick with diets like South Beach Diet or Medifast. Weight Watchers Reviews Weight Watchers Review #50 by Alice Eads on August 16th, 2008 at 1:47 PM CDT Name I have been on Weight Watchers at least three times in my life. I must admit I did lose a little weight, but I became very discouraged only losing 1 to 2 lbs a week while their charts said I needed to lose 100 lbs. I agree with the dietician who said that you should lose the weight first and then go on WW to maintain it. I'm the kind of person who needs to see faster results. I also, agree that Weight Watchers is like AA, you are a recovering fatty, you can never do in on your own. I have been on Weight Watchers at least three times in my life.

Weight Watchers Review #49 by Jason Russell on August 14th, 2008 at 1:10 PM CDT Name WW DOES work!! It has changed my life and the lives of several of my family members. We all suffered from hereditary eating! We all now maintain a healthy weight several years after joining the plan. WW DOES work!! It has changed my life and the lives of several of my family members.

Weight Watchers Review #48 by Larry Bodine on July 3rd, 2008 at 8:46 PM CDT Name I too equate WW with AA. They are maintenance, reminder and support group meetings. I don't mind that WW sells thing; I like the big green water jug I bought. Recording every thing that you eat in the Quick Track booklets is very effective. I've lost 12 pounds in 5 weeks. Here's the secret: eliminate sugar. Almost everyone attending WW is a sugar junkie. We love desserts, cookies, ice cream -- anything with sugar. Eating sugar sets off an addictive reaction in me that makes me unable to stop eating surgar -- for days. Then I read "Potatos Not Prozac," which is aimed at AAs, and elminated ALL sugar. Now the cravings are gone and I've lost weight. I too equate WW with AA. They are maintenance, reminder and support group meetings.
