I want to lose 5-10 lbs. before June 1st (5th year college reunion). I've heard good things about Weight Watchers--how does it work? How often do you go to meetings? Also, my best friend went to one and said she felt resented because she only wanted to lose 5 lbs and other women had much higher goals?
Is it better to first try a diet plan myself?

I did WW online for a while before my wedding and it worked really well. I didn't want to have to go to meeting or deal with other people.

Re: Anyone use Weight Watchers?
I did Weight Watchers at work a few years ago (they had a leader come to our office , so meetings and weigh ints were once a week at lunchtime) It was a very easy plan to follow and I think I lost about 10 pounds at the time (I was much skinner then so I didn't have much to lose .. now would be a different story!)
I think a lot of girls do WW on here.. you might get some better info on the Slim Down board. I lurk over there a lot and there is a bunch of LIWers who are doing great on WW!

Thanks! I will check Slim Down--I thought NWR might get more action.

There are alot of WW girls on 'Getting in Shape' on the knot. Theres a great supprt system over there.
I have been doing it for 3 weeks, and while the results are not quite as dramatic as low carb, it is a steady and healthy way to lose weight. Good Luck!

I love Weight Watchers. I think it is the best 'diet' I have ever been on. If you set your mind to it, you can definitely lose the weight you want. I fell off the wagon after my wedding (I had lost 35 pounds before the wedding) and have been back on it now for a little over a month and have lost 7 pounds!!!! It works, I swear!

Re: Anyone use Weight Watchers?
Between my mom nad I we ahve tried a MILLION diets. WW was the only one that consistently worked for both of us. We were using the flex plan, which I love, ebcause you can eat anything you want in moderation. There's also a 'core' plan, which is a low carb type plan where you don't have to count points. I loved WW, I just kept messing it up..I'm going to rejoin this week, because they're starting a group at my church, and it's SO close!
