Watch those weights! (They mights run away) - Advantages: Quick and easy to use - Disadvantages: Not for everybody

I had heard about Weight Watchers but to tell you the truth never really understood it. Slim Fast is a really good programme to embark on but if you want to try something different then this is an excellent healthy eating programme to do. The good thing is that you can lose weight without becoming a member and you can eat the foods you want. ...  Read the complete review

If you feel overweight then do weight wwatchers, I go every week to buy the goodies and get weighed. I haven't stayed for one of the meetings as going to the meeting is encouragement enough. I lost 22lbs in 11 weeks, there were weeks where I put a little back on but it soon came off. Having said that, I have jsut been on holiday for 2 weeks ...  Read the complete review

...yes, it's easy, sensible, low-fat, healthy...but it also makes you obsessed with food, dependent on your number of points to tell you how much you can eat rather than your stomach, anxious about eating out and holidays so it ruins your social life, it works well in the short term, but, like all diets, you just can't live it long-term, ...  Read the complete review

I am a WeightWatchers fan. The reason being that two years ago I went from 19 stone 2lbs (121.8kg) to 11st (70.4kg) in 10 months (I'm 5'9"), entirely by following the WW diet, and in consultation with my doctor. I ate the recommended amount every day, and the weight just dropped off. Since that time 1 stone has crept back ...  Read the complete review

I have been a member of weight watchers on & off for the past 10 years. Having successfully slimmed from more than 13 stone to 9 on TWO occasions (yoyo anyone?). Anyway I would urge anybody who needs to kick start their dieting habits to go to Weight Watchers. The basic system is that you are allocated so many points a day depending on age, ...  Read the complete review

After Christmas I had to visit my Dr due to constant headaches, he discovered that my blood pressure was a wee bit on the high side, and suggested that I lose some weight. I agreed with him as I was sick of not quite fitting into my size 14 clothes anymore. Weight Watchers works by giving food points which relate to the content of ...  Read the complete review

I joined Weight Watchers on 22/1/02 and to date (17/4/02) have lost 16 lbs. (in 12 weeks). Ok, so you may not think that this is not so impressive but I have not put any weight on in this time and have being losing it at a healthy and steady rate of 1 - 1.5 lbs a week. I feel much better for it and I am now exercising regularly and ...  Read the complete review

I joined WW about a year and a half ago and I can honestly say that it does work! I had noticed before I started that I looked "fat" but I hadn't weighed myself for about 4 years - I am only 5'1" tall and I thought I probably weighed about nine and a half stone, which is too much for my height. My weakness was ...  Read the complete review

I have never been happy with my weight and often blamed my job as a nurse doing constant night duty for 10 years for my weight gain, I was eating at odd hours of the day and night and constantly picking at sweets and all the wrong things. I didn't dare get on the scales because I knew I wouldn't like what I saw. A year ago a ...  Read the complete review

When you first step onto the scales at a local Weight Watchers meeting, you are admitting to yourself that you need to lose weight, in order to look and feel good again. What do you look for in a diet?? Well the answer to that is a well balanced diet, which gives you all the nutriants that you need in a normal day, without going hungry. ...  Read the complete review

I've tried Weight Watchers several times over the years, and yes I did lose some weight, but I was always hungry. Certainly going to weekly meetings helps motivate you, but you don't get much personal attention from the consultant, and very little from the other members. I found that the format of the classes tended to be ...  Read the complete review

I have struggled with a weight problem for most of my life. I have probably tried almost everything from detox drinks to body wraps.....but then I discovered Weightwatchers Pure Points system. I have to say I was quite sceptical,but having lost 9lbs in just over a month, I have become a convert. The trick is to reduce the amount of saturated ...  Read the complete review

For instance under 10 stone - 18 points 10 - 12 stone - 20 points Every food is given a points value dependant on the number of ...  Read the complete review

The diet is based on a points system, and you can incorporate anything into your diet, as i drink i saved two points every day so that on a saturday i could ...  Read the complete review

I think every woman has 'Large Marge' or 'Slim Jim' days but when I was having 'Large Marge' days every single day, I knew it was about time I did something about it! I had tried dieting myself, although always failed after a couple of weeks and ended up what is commonly known as a 'yo-yo dieter' – sound ...  Read the complete review

Fussy dieter I'm a seriously awkward dieter: I'm a cheese-loving vegetarian, I work shifts (which always bring about the nibbles) and I adore food, wine and eating out. In the past when I've put on a few pounds, I've just cut out the more obvious bad foods, stopped drinking so much, and run up the stairs more often. ...  Read the complete review

This diet is one of the better ones because it educates you to eat healthy plus there are no forbidden foods however you must remember to count the points! For those of you who haven't tried the Weight Watchers diet, basically different foodstuffs are given different amounts of points depending on calories and saturated fat content. ...  Read the complete review

I'm male, and for 30 years of my life I was thin as a rake... So what the heck am I doing writing an opinion on WeightWatchers? I gave up smoking, then I turned 30, then Christmas week happened - That's what happened! The combination of all of this sent my weight soaring from what had been a reasonably stable 12.5st for ...  Read the complete review
