Weight Watchers On-Line - Helpful or No?

I had 20 post-kids pounds that wouldn't budge not matter what I did, so I decided to try Weight Watchers' online only program. I just didn't have time to drive across town for meetings. I ended up losing all of the weight and loved the program! It's a practical program, one you can use whether you're at home or out to eat. I even lost weight on a cruise while on their program. Can't recommend it highly enough. I've maintained the weight loss since last fall.

I've been doing WW Online for about 2 mos. and I've lost 20 lbs! I really like it a lot - it's cheap, I don't have to waste my time going to meetings, and I can eat real food (and pretty much any food as long as I stay within my points). My sister and two good friends are also doing it right now, and they are down 20+ lbs as well :-) A few years ago I did LA Weightloss - it was super expensive (like $800 for my husband and I), I have to go there once a week to talk to these idiots which I hated, and I didn't even lose that much weight. So in other words, I highly recommend WW online, good luck!

I've been doing it online for 10 weeks, and I'm down 28 lbs. It is a helpful tool with the weight tracking, measurement tracking, recipe builder and recipe finder.

I lost my 30 lb baby weight gain on WW online. I never had time to go to the meetings either. I felt like everything I needed was there online. Plus, if you just do it online its half the price.

WW online is way better than the mtgs IMO. It is so darn easy to log everything-its almost kind of fun! The meetings were a little annoying really. Maybe because I did not really have anything much to lose and most people did so I couldn't relate to their stories. Why don't you do the free trial week online to see how it works for you.

I've done the online program before and was successful. I just joined a few weeks ago and am relying on the online portion. It is pretty robust as far as a website and the tools that are available. You could always try online and switch to going to the meetings since online is free with the meetings. I do like weighing in at the center, I'm fortunate that it is very close to my home and our scale can't always be trusted ;-).

Love the online program. I'm doing it right now and have lost 16 pounds so far. I'm extremely busy, so it's perfect for my schedule.

It's a neat program - if you do it! :P

I did the online format in conjunction with the meetings (some sort of combo deal). I did lose some weight as long as I was following it. My problem was actually following it every day (especially after weigh-in day when I would tend to let loose).

If you have a smart phone you can log your points from your phone which is very helpful. They have wonderful pre-built lists where you can get point tallies for many different foods, including restaurants. You can also calculate points based on calories and fat content.

So . . . I give it a thumbs-up (my issue was more with myself LOL).

I have been using that and going to meetings when I can and like it. Its all on when I have the free time and now I almost feel gulity when I don't find time to go. I am down almost 15 lbs and of course much more to go :)

The program is excellent but it is harder to stick to it without the meetings. If it's a priority, maybe you can work it out.

I used WW online for a while and lost 10 pounds in 6 weeks. As long as I was diligent about tracking I stayed on task and was happy with the program. Their new system is better yet, IMO. It was when I got lazy about tracking that my eating suffered. Good luck!

I've lost 50 lbs on weight watchers online since starting in January. I have another 60 to lose, but it is a lifesaver. I'm finding it very easy to follow the program and have so much more energy. Good luck! If you have a smartphone, there are also apps you can download to help assist you. I have a few, but still rely heavily on the e-tools that weight watchers online offers.
