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The points-based method of Weight Watchers is outdated and doesn’t go far enough to promote healthy lifestyle changes.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

I have been on and off with Weight watchers. I must have probably spend close to $1,000 dollars just buying the books and spending money on the meetings. After you keep on joining it gets old. You say ehhhh I can just do it again.

WELL, I started Nutrisystem, I LOVE IT! It's worth the money. I know 4 ppl now who have lost weight with Nutrisystem. Their customer service is very nice. So far I am down 25 pounds in 2 months.

I've been a lifetime member of WW for about 15 years and have been back and forth with it feeling I need the weekly meetings to stay on it, however for the past few times I've joined and rejoined, I'm finding it harder and harder to stick to it. I feel like all I do is think about food, what to eat, how much to eat, when to eat, etc all day long. I'm finding I don't like it as much anymore and I'm thinking that Nutrisystem might be worth a try. After all the $$$ I've spent at WW with buying some food,the books and meetings, it'll probably be less expensive.

I've done WW off and on for more than 20 years and never kept the weight off for very long each time I lost it. When I was at goal, I worked for WW and witnessed firsthand the merchandising of their organization. They are big on selling everything from cookbooks to snack bars to measuring spoons. It's all overpriced and cheaper versions can be found elsewhere without the WW branding.

They encourage being an e-tools member for $40 a month, claiming if you go to one meeting per week, you are paying an average of $10 per week. They get their money whether or not you attend meetings.

I'm ready to try something else and am considering Nutrisystem.
