Weight Watchers?

After thinking about the Weight Management Program at my hospital, I'm pretty much against it. I mean, it would be great to lose 60 pounds in three months, but while it's doctor supervised, it still doesn't sound like a good plan to me overall. My cousin and his wife did the same or a very similar program and lost a ton of weight, but within a year they both had gained back everything they lost but plus some. I also talked everything over with my mom and I've decided to try other options first... and if they fail, maybe I can try at the beginning of the year.

I go back and forth from wanting to try Weight Watchers and not wanting to try it. I've done WW online before and was successful, but I feel that was more because, at the time (about 5 years ago), I had more willpower than I have now. Back then I looked at doing the meetings in my town but found out through the grapevine that it was ran by older women (like 60s) and not worth it.

There is a Facebook group called "[My Town] Weight Watchers". I requested to join it. Through the Weight Watchers website, I figured out that the Meeting Leader of the weekly meeting I would have to attend is named Ingrid. Through the Facebook group, I found Ingrid and she's young! Like my age! That gives me hope that this might work. I hope they allow me to join the Facebook group without being a member of WW so I can decide if it would be a good fit for me or not!!!

I looked into the pricing. Here is the chart that I found:

I would like to figure out if there's a possible way for me to afford the Monthly Pass membership. I think that is what would be best for me at this time. The reason I think that is because I know that I need someone to hold me accountable. I need to go stand on a scale in front of someone once a week. If all else fails, I'll do the online one again, but I really want to try out.

Your Thoughts:
--- Have you ever tried Weight Watchers?
--- Do you recommend attending the meetings?
--- Did the online-only program work for you?
