I really like this article. Weight Watchers is excellent for people just starting to improve their habits, I like to relate them to elementary school for the obese. It makes you start reading labels, and writing things down, and just gave me a better idea of how much I should be putting in my mouth. At first all you want to do is figure out the lowest points so you can stuff your face as much as possible!!!! The good thing about that is you get exhausted pretty quick, and then start learning that you just can’t eat to get full. For some the realization comes pretty quick that we are only eating to live, not living to eat! Although people think they can obtain a regular dietitian, the internet today it so loaded with information, that we have no excuse to find useful articles as this, to guide us along the way. Thank you for your very helpful information. Thrive and live strong!

As a fellow RD and lifetime WW member, I couldn’t agree more. So, after 2 kids and life…I am once again starting my WW journey.

Very glad I stumbled on this- I completely agree with the bad fats vs. good fats- frustrated that WW puts them in the same category- so nice to hear your agreement. Great article!

Thank you for your informative post. I found it by asking for avacado points! I have done ww several times, starting in college at $3.00 a meeting ant got lifetime. I rejoined after each child. A a few more since then. 40 years later I’m still struggling with weight issues. I am now a snowbird living in a small town in AZ with no meetings. So I am attempting to do this on line. Reading blogs gives me the meeting fix I’m missing.
The one problem I see with weight watchers is their maintenance program. I have mentioned to a few leaders how great it would be if they had a meeting just for life timers even if we had to pay. We have different issues than beginners. Any way thanks for your blog

Thanks for posting this because I was also curious on the new Weight Watchers program. I love your blog and especially your recipes! I really appreciate that you write your opinions (and grade) with the nutrition facts. You do a great job, and I bet you are a fun teacher! I’m a RD as well and love reader other dietitian’s blogs 🙂
Keep up the great work!

I think WW is the best weight loss program out there because it really teaches people how to eat properly! I think the PointsPlus program sounds great because I love avocado! and nuts! I think it’s great that you are doing WW and just having that support team once a week will help tremendously! Good luck!
