Weight Watchers Online VS. Weight Watchers Meetings? In the state of Pennsylvania, Weight Watchers is a franchise and you end up paying $50.00 a month for meetings, but if you want to access the etools and online forums, it's $17.95 a month. They don't have a package deal (which blows!) Anyway.. at a Weight Watchers meeting, you go in, get weighed, talk to the leader for 1-2 minutes. This usually consists of her asking you, "How did it go this week?" "You lost weight, that's wonderful!" "Keep up the good work!" Then, you sit down and wait for the meeting to start, unfortunately, my group doesn't participate much. The leader asks a question and everyone just sits there in silence. I feel for her, it's like pulling teeth with this crowd. The only time anyone ever wants to share anything is when she asks about any new recipes people have found. During our last meeting, one woman went on and on about cauliflower.
So, I'm thinking of cancelling my monthly meeting subscription and signing up for Weight Watchers Online. I figure, people are more open about their struggles and strengths when they are sitting behind the computer. And I think our scale is pretty accurate. Another thing that concerns me is that my Weight Watchers meetings take place in the evening and your weight can fluctuate during the day between 1-3lbs based on what your wearing, what you've eaten and how much water you've consumed. Last week I lost .8, but the next morning, the scale showed I lost 3lbs.
Any thoughts?
as long as you keep yourself motivated! :-)
ReplyDeletei really like that pic of the fake fat near the cup you posted some time ago... losing almost one like that every week is great! you are doing very well! ill go back to my diet on monday... if you switch to online and like it let me know and i might try it as well... as long as i can join the american version... i think they still use the old point system here...
That would be great sis! I'll let you know how it goes! I'm paid up for another month of meetings but I'm probably going to cancel after that because the online has recipe builders, forums, and you can even access apps on your phone for free.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I get discouraged, I think about that fake fat. I should order one of those on eBay and keep it next to my refridgerator. LOL
