My experience with Weight Watchers Online [View all]

I started Weight Watchers Online after making a $100 bet to see who could lose the most weight by the beginning of March. We have since extended the bet through the first weekend in April. Anyway, I have lost 12.5 lbs in 7 weeks. I have never really dieted before trying WW, and wow does it work! I never feel like I am starved for foods, and it has talk me the value of fruits and vegetables. I have probably eaten more f&v's in the past 7 weeks than the previous 2 or 3 years combined.

Has anybody else here tried WW? If so, what is your own experience?

In my case, it's more my psychological issues with yoyo dieting than the actual diet K8-EEE May 2012 #15
