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The points-based method of Weight Watchers is outdated and doesn’t go far enough to promote healthy lifestyle changes.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 Nutrisystem or Medifast Diet.

Ww has been working well for me. It's been great for re-training my taste buds and getting me used to eating healthy. Weight loss has been slow but steady. I don't bother with the meetings. I track everything using the app. My mom has been my accountability buddy (accountabilibuddy) and we motivate each other when, not if, we have bad days. It seems to me that when you count your points, stop eating when your full, and have someone to keep you motivated the program works. I also really like being able to eat real food. Quality of life is just as important as weight loss.

I am a Weight Watchers lifetime member who did gain it all back. I am losing again but found I needed more structure and less work. I went on Nutrisystem. Now I'm doing what I call Weight Watchers a la Nutrisystem. Honestly, Weight Watchers really does have a more "accurate" plan. It has greater flexibility to accommodate various body types. (I just don't have the time to plan and prepare themeals.) I am a 5'11" woman with 40 pounds to lose and Nutrisystem prescribed the same food for me as a woman 5'0" with 40 pounds to lose. That's nuts. They also don't have a solid plan for adding food for additional exercise...also nuts. After the first week, I was starving. So, I used my old Weight Watchers materials to adjust the Nutrisystem plan to work for me (adding some protein each day above their recommendations). The result was the best of both worlds and I have consistently lost 2 pounds per week.

As for Nutrisystem food...definitely small portions. Some meals are inedible but I've found enough I do like to have variety and enjoy it.

For a global company Weight Watchers has the poorest customer service of ANY company withwhich I have subscribed. The program works and you will love it until you have to contact Customer Service. I've been trying to get a credit for online merchandise I refused yet the call center has no way, or so they say, of contacting the retail division of Weight Watchers.

I have given up and contacted American Express to dispute the charge.

Bottom line: the Points Plus Program works. I hope you never have to contact the company for assistance as my experience has resulted in nothing but frustration and unanswered calls.
