| Weight Watchers Online |
Weight Watchers is a time-tested weight loss program. It's not just a dieting program, it also incorporates fitness and health into the plan. Weight Watchers is specifically designed to lose the weight AND keep it off. Most dieters gain all the lost weight back within 3-5 years, but the Weight Watchers approach is designed to keep it off for good. They offer a plan that allows you to eat what you like with an emphasis on nutrition. The flexible food plans can adapt to any lifestyle or unique needs rather than sticking to a strict low carb diet.
When you become a Weight Watchers Online member you'll get a customized step-by-step plan online. You get access to interactive tools and videos that includes over 1500 recipes, 60 workout demonstrations, a rich resource library and more. You'll also get personalized goals based on your height and weight, so you won't be left hungry. The interactive tools allow you to assess your food and exercise habits.
The community/support section of Weight Watchers seems to be lacking a bit compared to the others. Sure, there are the standard message boards for people looking for tips, support, motivation and recipes. Some of the other diet sites offer much easier access to doctors, nutritionists and physical trainers for direct questions.
Overall, Weight Watchers is about as standard as it gets. If you want time-tested weight loss approach with a basic diet and exercise plan, Weight Watchers might be for you. If you're looking for the latest diet craze to lose weight fast, you might want to go elsewhere. The Weight Watchers plan is slightly cheaper than the others ($16.95) per month, but there's a catch. Whether you sign up for either the monthly plan or 3 month savings plan (save $15.80), you'll still need to pay a one-time $29.95 sign up fee. There's also no free trial period, so if you want to give it a shot you'll need to shell out at least $46.90 for your first month.
