WW (Weight Watchers)

In the first 2 months I lost 6 pounds. Let me tell you those first few pounds was very difficult as your learning the new points system and cooking a different way especially with my family and my 2 young kids.

I also found that I was always hungry though that did subside the longer I was on Weight Watchers. It was worth doing for myself but you do really need a lot of will power. Since I am a single mom with 2 children I don't have time for the meetings though I do use the app for motivation reading other peoples struggles and successes. 

I did find the app a little difficult to use at first but once you figure out how things work it does make sense on how things are laid out.

Weight Watchers and their points program is really good. I have no complaints with it.

My issue is with customer service and trying to contact them. I bought a Fitbit from the weight watchers online store and then decided I would like the Flex 2 model instead. I looked on the website to see how to return the Fitbit and it said you have to call customer service or send email and then they will contact you with instructions.

So I sent email and got an automated response. 5 days pass and I still have not heard anything from customer service so I decide to call the toll free phone number. I was on hold for over 30 minutes and I just gave up in frustration. It seems as soon as you have a problem weight watchers customer service is no where to be found.

I have never been excessively over weight but every now and then I gain a bit of weight, usually after the holidays or a stressful period during work. Just this past 6 months I quit smoking and guess what I gained weight, almost 15 lbs. I was the heaviest I had ever been. I decided to go back to weight watchers which I had done 3 times before probably over the last 10 years or so. One rule I made for myself this time around is GO TO THE MEETINGS. I found the last few times if I don't go to the meetings my motivation drops and I slowly stop using the smart points system. 

I am happy to say that it has been over 6 months later since the last time I joined and the change in my body is very noticeable. I have lost almost 30 lbs and I feel and look great. I also started going to the gym 3 months ago while on weight watchers and the extra fitness has helped with the weight loss.

I really do like the Weight Watchers experience. The point system is easy to understand and now when I grocery shop it is second nature what I need to pick out and purchase. I am never hungry and the food I eat is very good. Weight Watchers has an excellent selection of recipes. I don't go to meetings all the time anymore as I have reached my target weight but they certainly helped early on in the first couple of months. Motivation is key because if you don't work at loosing weight you will not. It is also nice to meet new people who have the same struggles you do. The meetings are also helpful to find out how to use the tracker and meal plans on the website at weightwatchers.com. They can be confusing especially to someone who is not as net savvy.

I have tried other diet plans and in the end I have always gone back to Weight Watchers.  It's not perfect and it can be hard some days but in the end it is worth it.

Signed up for a 30 day free trial on a coupon from friend. Canceled during 30 day trial. I’ve been charged 60 bucks for nothing. 

I signed up in an hour... later I canceled it through their website cancel instructions. It didn't match with my smart watch that records all my activity and calories so it was not compatible and i did not want to use something that was not compatible. After cancelation a month ago found out  today that they will be charging me monthly until March of 2020 even though I have never used their services. If I want to 'cancel' again I have to pay them $39.99 to cancel a service that I have literally never used. I called my bank in disputed it through them but they're still a chance that I will have to pay them monthly for months of something I will never use. I have never had this problem from anything and this is the most ridiculous crap I've ever had to put up with. The woman that I talk to you was rude and very unhelpful.
