    It is a good program for sure. Losing weight too fast is never a good thing. WW is sensible. I'm ready to rejoin!

    You can try "online only." I think it's less expensive than meetings, but you still get all the support of Connect. I'm a meetings gal, but see a lot of people on Connect who are online only. Good luck! Keep up the good work.

    I'm sure that works for some people, but others need/want/enjoy the support of the meetings. Do what works for you.

    I am a big (in some ways) supporter of WW. I made lifetime in 2004, gained a bit back, so rejoined last year and lost 33 pounds for a total of 56 pounds. If anyone had ever told me I would weigh 128 at age 69, I would have said they were crazy, but here I am in my size 8 pants and size small tops and it is real!

    I joined and lost what I needed to lose. I am a life timer. I keep going to meeting for accountability . I know if I quit I will gain it all back. It keeps me where I want to be.

    My son and daughter in law joined last year with the online version. They love it.

    My husband and I are doing what I call our own version of WW. We started 6 weeks ago and lost a total of 29 lbs combined (15 for him, 14 for me).
    We cut out fast food and dining out, chips, desserts. I cook low fat meals. We watch how many carbs we eat a day as well as limit our calorie intake to around 1300. Still a lot of food considering most of it is fresh fruits and veggies. Portion control is key to a good weight loss plan.

    [QUOTE=moonrise;8019539] I'm a very private person in real life, so the thought of going to meetings is terrifying!

    Exactly!! I could not imagine getting up in front of a group of people and being weighed!! Admire those who can, but I just couldn't!

    I used to do it entirely online. My library had the cookbooks.
