What do you mean the FOOD is GROSS??? Weight Watchers doesn't have their
own food that you must eat (ie Jenny Craig). On weight watchers you eat
everyday food that you can get anywhere. I have done weight watchers
and lost 20 pounds which was two years ago and I've kept it off and
maintained my weight, but have joined again to lose another 10. I think
getting together once a week helps with motivation, but also makes you
more aware of your body, diet, and goals.
