I joined WW the first of this year. The first week was the hardest cause you are learning the program adn figuring out what you can eat etc. Im 3 weeks into it and have lost 6lbs. My husband is following it with me. at first I had a hard time eating only 29 points and now I have a hard time eating up to 29 points. I bought a scale at Walmart and they are pretty cheap. I also bought a WW calculator which you will need.
Im not a meeting person. I kinda hate them. but the meetings are short and informative. I havent gone yet this week as work has been really busy for me.
I would say give it a try! it cant hurt and anything will help. Its so hard to do it on your own. Good Luck!
