Just checked out sparkpeople. Thanks!
You're welcome!

I really like their eating plan and have been doing the Points Plus program for about six weeks. Have lost 15 pounds. I went to three meetings but didn't really get much out of them and was annoyed that you have to pay for meetings you can't attend so I just decided to go it on my own. Truly, I can't see much difference. Good luck, whatever you do.

I joined four weeks ago. I have lost 8.8 lbs. If you can do it online I guess it is okay, but the reason I join is for the support group. I have joined before with great success...I just need to keep going to maintain. Once you reach goal, it is free anyway. Please join the group....people are so supportive! Good luck....keep us posted.

I joined the online program 6 wks ago and have lost 15lbs so far.
I started out at 190lbs and the points \day are 29. Plus there are 49 extra points that can be used in a week for special occasions. I don't use too many of these. I also go t the Y mornings M-F for aerobic swim and deep water jogging. So moderate exercise helps too.

I do both online and the meetings. I find that the live meetings are informative and I need the accountability of stepping on the scale. Try several different meeting times or places until you find a leader you really like. I've been going since Jan. 4 and have lost 20 lbs.

I've been doing WW (at work) for almost 2 years - I lost 25 pounds & have been holding steady with that loss - need to get a kick in the butt to lose some more though

Been on WW several times over the years. Got lifetime about 25 years ago. Joined again several weeks ago, but I guess I'm just not motivated enough, because I kept trying to figure out how to have more chips and cookies, and I DON'T think that's the idea! LOL! Maybe I'm too old now and would rather eat than be thin!
