(130,538 posts)I lost a fair amount of weight with Weight Watchers. I think the reason it worked for me is that I'm horribly undisciplined and I needed to have other people sort of breathing down my neck and keeping track of things in order to keep me from slacking off. You can do it online but I'd have to go to the meetings; my lack of discipline prevents me from accomplishing much of anything unless I get some prodding from somebody besides my own guilty conscience. Of course, now I need to lose weight again and I'm such a slob that I don't even feel like going to WW meetings, though I know I should. But I'm old and I don't have a spouse or kids so I guess it doesn't matter so much that I've plumped up again. My health actually is pretty good for an old bag. There's always the possibility I'll get disgusted enough to do something, but maybe not... Anyhow, if you need someone to bug you, I thought WW was pretty useful.
