Weight Watchers

Weight Watchers developed The Four Pillars based on years of scientific research, analysis, and years of experience helping people lose weight. These are the Four Pillars:

· Food-fits within one's lifestyle and preferences.

· Support-learning to create and live in a supportive atmosphere that aids weight loss

· Behavior-self monitoring eating behavior is a critical component of the plan

· Exercise-systematic approach to exercise throughout the weight-loss process.

Weight Watchers has the highest success rate and is recommended by about 96 percent of those who use the plan. For those who can’t fit another scheduled meeting into their day, the online option is great since it can be accessed at the users convenience. Weight Watchers fits into most lifestyles. There is the line of Weight Watchers foods available in almost every grocery store so there is no need to purchase weeks of food that is on the plan at one time. There are national restaurant chains that have Weight Watcher compatible menu items. Also available are many recipes on line and in books to make it easy to cook. The food is appetizing so that other family members can enjoy the food without the portion restriction. Any food can be part of the plan with the patented, Points System.

Everything about Weight Watchers is focused on success. There is support, an exercise plan, behavior factored in, and the wonderful support by fellow Weight Watcher members in person at a meeting or on the Internet.

Some people might not want to do the “work” involved with Weight Watchers. Learning the point system and including exercise is not what some dieters want. It is not a quick weight loss program and will need time to be successful.

There is a sign up fee to join Weight Watchers. After that there is a monthly fee that averages a little over $4 per week. There is a discount when 3 months are paid at once. The discount nearly equals the cost of one month.
