Matthew and I went to Weight Watchers tonight. The leader was awesome. She was engaging and positive and quite knowledgeable. I left there feeling like I could really do weight watchers and be successful. So Matthew and I talked about our opinions and he brought up a great point. He asked me how much it was. And I said $13 a week. And he said what does that get you. And I went, "Holy crap, they weigh you." So you are paying $13 to get weighed.
There is more to it than that. There is the meeting which is not just information or inspirational but supportive. The leader is there as a resource so you can ask her questions. But really, you paying week after week for a support group and a weigh in.
Matthew suggested that we try using an online tool that includes a community or forum. I think it would be great if we could do it for free, but I'm afraid I'm too lazy. But we'll see.
I'm tired tonight so that is it.
Till tomorrow,

Good points about weight watchers, its easy, its supportive and it works. I know at least 10 people who eventually ended up on weight watchers after trying other places or trying on their own and it was the last place tried because it worked. Norma is currently on it and at last count had lost over 25 pounds.
ReplyDeleteBesides, I have to support them...many of my family including my mom work for Heinz (aka weight watchers). And they are a union company.
Good luck with whatever you choose.
