I've been on WW now for almost 14 months. I've dropped almost 140 lbs so far. My wife and daughter are using the plan as well. My daughter is at her goal weight and has been maintaining that for almost 6 months. My wife is down 70 lbs. The plan absolutely works if you put the effort into it.
I suggest going to the meetings and using the online tools. The plan is very easy to follow. You can eat any type of food you want as long as you track it, stay within your daily point goal, and meet the health guidelines. The e-tools has a recipe builder, all the tracking tools you need, and a food calculator to get point totals for any food not already in the tracker.
They are releasing the update to the Points Plus plan this week, so it is the perfect time to jump on-board.
Good luck on your journey!
