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The points-based method of Weight Watchers is outdated and doesn’t go far enough to promote healthy lifestyle changes.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

I'm a WW lifetime member, but have decided to look elsewhere for weight loss and maintenance support. Originally, I enjoyed the low price, and the points system, and the fact that no foods were off limits, but, there was still a bit of a structure to the daily food plan.

Now, you can choose various plans, make your own, or just eat chocolate and milkshakes all day long, it seems to make little difference to Weight Watcher's leaders, in the long run.

Plus, when I sit in the meetings, all I hear is talk about food, where to get this food, or that food, and I see members salivating at the mention of food. In every meeting, from the time you walk in, until you leave, you see boxes of WW candy bars, milkshakes, full color posters of foods, and some of the rewards after the meetings are food!

Do drug addicts sit in a pharmacy, looking at full color posters of the drugs of their choice? Do Alcoholics Anonymous meetings have free samples at meetings, and pictures of beer, wine, and liquor plastered all over their walls?

The meeting leaders don't really seem interested in any personal struggles of the members. Well, they like to listen to you contribute to the meeting, as long as it doesn't get too deep in thought, or take up too much of their time.

I can not recommend Weight Watchers to anyone who wants to keep their weight off for life. There is no real info on how to change your thoughts about food.
