I am a life time member of WW. I get to goal weight than stop going, get to goal weight and stop going, etc. Now I have asked myself honestly what is wrong with weight watchers that I can't seem to stay committed. Here is my answer..
1....I hear the same things each and every meeting
2....It is very hard on the purse each week
3....I hate to count points and keep records of what I eat/how much I exercise/how I feel at any given part of the day
4....They do not suggest what to eat only how much and provide recipes for purchase
That being said..... I have started the "17 Day Diet Program" I really like this program because there is no record keeping, no group meetings where you hear the same thing over and over, no extra costs and they tell you exactly what to eat. I eat from my list, I use their recipes (which are very tasty by the way) and I am losing weight. Nothing to calculate or remember. There is something to remember....You can't eat fruit past 2pm and you must drink 8 8 ounce glasses of water.
Try it you will like it. Oh, and I am not affiliated with this company in any way.

I am a great believer in Weight Watchers, but must confess, I Yo Yo, lots. Now, my doctors have instructed me to go back on. What I have done is to make up several days menues, keep them in a binder, and when planning meals, go to that binder and pick out what we will eat that day. Makes shopping much easier and I don't have to do too much wondering what to have. Also, my heart doctor suggested that I either get a book, or a DVD titled "You on a Diet". Dr. Oz is one of the doctor's
involved. I purchased it on line from Amazon. My doctor's said Weight Watcher's is not a diet, it's a way of life and they say it's by far the most sensible plan out there. Good luck.

I started WW in January and have lost 11 pounds. I only have to loose 4 more for my goal, but it is not coming off. Maybe it's because I have not gone to a meeting in a month or tracked my food on line for that time also. I keep thinking with the warm weather I will do better. My daughter lost about 35 pounds 2 years ago and she is still doing great. She works out every day which helps keep it off. I also get emails from Hungry Girl and another site called Skinnytaste or something like that. Dr. Oz recommended taking a supplement of Raspberry Ketones. I have been taking it for a couple of months and I think I have actually lost inches. Most of my pants and shorts are big on me and some are a size 6. Maybe I should start taking my measurements instead of weighing myself. Good luck and I hope you choose WW as the way to go, it really is the best plan out there when you follow it the right way. Oh, I forgot about the app for your phone. I don't have one, but my husband has a Droid and we downloaded WW into it and I can hold it over the squiggly thing or on the bar code and it will calculate the points from what ever it is like crackers, pasta, bread, etc.

Went back to WW in January, lost 10 pounds so far and 5 more to go, the program is great. But be careful with the fruits. We don't count them on the new program therefore I overdid it and it showed on the scale. So I eat only 1/2 of a banana a day now instead of 2. When I'm hungry I go for the veggie soup which I have in the fridge all the time, I even eat one at night to cut my nimbling habit.
One secret is to write everything you bring into your mouth every day.
Don't quit, good luck and take one day at a time

If you just remember that you must change your eating habits. It's not a DIET per se it's teaching you how to eat healthy and portion control. You can have almost anything you like but in moderation. The new point system is great and it's the only program that you can do for a lifetime. That said, I must confess that I have not always followed what I know is right, but each time I fall off the wagon and gain, I jump right back on.
