Advantages: easy to use website, easy to do plan, affective

Disadvantages: the online plan is rather expensive

I haven't been doing Weight Watchers long, but I have already realised this is the plan for me!

I joined online to do the 2 week Free-Trial they are offering at the moment. First they ask you a series of questions about your age/sex/height/weight etc, and based on your BMI you are given a POINTS ® allowance.

You then need to track all the food you eat and it's POINTS ® value using the handy online system! It's all really easy to use, and every single food item I typed in was already loaded, so it calculates it all for you.

If something is not on the list you can manually add it by just adding the calories & saturated fat content too.

The website is fabulous and has loads and loads of recipe ideas, tips and tricks. It really keeps your motivated.

You can earn points by doing activities, and also you can save points for later in the week if you have something coming up (a meal out for example).

So far I have found it so easy and it's great fun tracking all your points. And the thing I love the most about it is that I've been able to diet without changing my diet at all, I still eat everything I love - if I want to eat chocolate - I can! It's all about portion control & eating things in moderation which we can all benefit from.

The only downside I would say is that the subscription is quite pricey. There are different packages, but the one I signed up to was £49.95 for the first 3 months and then a direct debit of £9.95 a month thereafter... Which for just access to a website, seems quite a lot. Therefore I do weight watchers the old fashioned way now my free trial is over -books/ pen/paper/weight watchers POINTS ® calculator! But thats my choice.

I would recommend it to anyone, it's a great programme and I hope to loose lots of weight from it soon!!

Summary: The best diet plan I have ever tried - and I have tried a few!!!!!!
