Does anyone do WW online?

I was thinking of signing up. What are the benefits of doing it online? I also heard it is a new program. How does everyone feel about it?

Re: Does anyone do WW online?

I go to meetings, however I know the online program has been very successful for many people.

The new plan is great (PointsPlus). It's similiar to the old plan in that you get a certain number of points per day. The point value is determined by protein, carbs, fat, and fiber. Fresh fruits and veggies are zero points plus.

I feel like with the new program I follow a healthy lifestyle. I eat food that is highe in protein and fiber. I've been eating more fruit.

The e-tools are great for tracking your daily points plus target and activity points.

I would defintely give it a try!

I've been doing WW online since January. I've lost 34.4lbs so far (although I have a lot to lose in general so I think the weight is coming off a little faster). I am very disciplined and weigh myself every day to make sure I stay on track. Other people need the support that going to get weighed in and going to meetings.

I like the new points plus program. I feel like I make better choices. Some of the things I would choose on the old program aren't as healthy as the food I'm choosing now. I really like that fruit is no points and I tend to choose fruits as snacks (along with other things) and I feel like it's been a healthier choice overall.

Before I started with meetings, I tried WW online but wasn't very successful. It was too easy for me to fool myself and not be accountable or follow the plan. For me, I NEED the accountability and support of meetings.

Plenty of people have been successful on it though - it just takes a little more effort since you're responsible for monitoring yourself.

My sister has had great success with the online program. I would guess she lost 40lbs.

I'm definitely not as disciplined as she is. I need the accountability of weighing in before a person. I became a lifetime member in 2007 and then returned to the program after having my first child. I tried to do it on my own, but didn't have much success until I started going back to meetings.
