Speak to me of Weight Watchers

There's a program starting at work and since I could drop at least 30 pounds and not miss it, I'm thinking of joining. I really don't know anything about it, but I'll spend some time today on the Weight Watchers website and read FAQs or whatever.

But please talk to me about it a bit in the comments here. What did you like, what did you hate, did you lose weight and were you able to maintain that loss, etc.

I'll be starting a thread on Sk8, over on the Vhive, as well, so if you're onboard there and would rather post in that venue, please do.

Weight Watchers is awesome. The only "diet" I can get behind. I put it in quotes, because it's not a diet. It's nutrition. You are familiar with proper nutrition, being married to and a bit of a foodie yourself, however, they really break it down for you, get you used to proper proportions (my biggest challenge). 2 ounces of cheese are like 2 cubes of dice.a proper serving of meat is about the size of a deck of cards... etc. etc.
I think you'll find the counting alcohol as points, and thereby-food, a bit difficult. Believe me, a 5 ounce cocktail counts. As does half a bottle of wine.
That's practically a meal- points wise.

I found the online point-tracker awesome. Earning more points by exercising is also awesome. And meetings help. I haven't been to one in years, butt they do actually help.

WW is the only diet I know of that people have been on and manage to lose weight and keep it off. I can not say the same for Atkins, Nutri-Craig or anything else.

I love that I mistyped 'butt' above.
That's hysterical in this context.
