So I think Im ready to join weight watchers, but i'd rather not go to meetings. Has anyone tried WW online? Is it worth it?

Re: WW Online?
I am doing it online. I just started for real last week and I am already down 3.5 lbs! I love it but it can be a pain to monitor every single thing you eat/drink!

what, exactly, does it entail? Where do you keep track? Do I need a palm pilot or something? lolol

Re: WW Online?
You might want to get one!
No, you keep what you eat and how much you work out on a spreadsheet..You are allowed a certain amount of points in a day and a lot of food already have the points there so you just add them. Sometimes it can be a pain when you are making food because you have to calculate every little ingredient (especially things like butter, oil) but after a while you know of just know what the points are for a lot of things. I usually plan out my breakfast lunch and snacks the night before hand and plug it into the spreadsheet so I don't have to keep going back to it. I find that has helped a lot.
The only thing I don't know how to do is calculate points when you eat out at random restaurants that aren't listed on WW... Luckily, I am so poor I haven't eaten out in a whiiiile so that isn't an issue!

I am in my second week and i use online as well as go to meeting and weigh ins. At first i didn't think i wanted to do meeting but on average people who go do lose a lot more weight so i'm probably going to go to meetings for a couple months then just go to weigh in. It is hard i am hungry a lot but so far its working!

I do WW online. I love it. I think its easy and keeps me on track when I record everything I eat. I also get lots of ideas for recipes and stuff online. It's definitely not hard. I've lost 8 pound since I started (3 months ago) and that includes a 10 pound GAIN over the holidays when I completely fell off the wagon for a good 3 weeks!

Yay! Be sure to let us know how it goes & definitely keep us posted if you come up with some FILLING low point snacks. That has been my mission lately!

I just started it last week and lost 4 lbs! It is easy to use online and really teaches you about portion control and what foods are the good fillers and the bad fillers! I'm learning a lot. I pick a lot and that adds up, it really made me think twice before I start picking b/c I want to save my points for dinner! Best of luck to you!

I do it online. I love it! I wish I could go to meetings but it just doesnt work with my schedule. It's good online. Putting in the points daily was a bit of a pain in the butt.. so I bought an electronic point counter to keep track with and it actually works out a lot better. I use the online for recipes also to figure out how many points i need to be eating and updating my weigh ins.
