I was literally going to this site next!! I’ve done weight watchers before with great success and I’ve been trying to conceive with no luck for 6 months and I’m afraid the extra weight I’ve been carrying around since my last baby is a contributing factor. You guys are the best, I’m signing up now! Wish me luck!!

I’ve been on the FREESTYLE program now for 1 month today and I am happy to say that I’ve lost 11.5 pound – I absolutely LOVE this program. Being that I started right here during the Holiday season I thought it would be a slow, difficult process – but it’s been so easy to manage and the fact that there are over 200 ZERO point foods (whoohoo) you can’t go wrong – and best of all I can have WINE ☺ !

leslie January 4, 2018 at 5:46 pm MST

No food and snacks. Just access to the ap (awesome thing it is) and the online support network. I personally think the meeting option is better. I sure like going to meetings and weighing in person and meeting people in person as well.

i really want to try this, but is it hard when you have a family of kids to feed three times a day?

Reply1

Jennifer Poe January 4, 2018 at 5:54 pm MST

There are no food restrictions as long as you stay within your daily points. Foods like vegetables, beans, and certain lean proteins are free. So I eat what my family eats which was important to me. The hardest thing with two small children is arranging it so my DH will watch them while I go to a weekly meeting.

I just joined WW and LOVE it. There are so many 0 point foods and the app makes it so easy, you can look up food and scan barcodes to track. It takes out All the guesswork. I just joined and I love 6.2 lbs my FIRST week. I cannot remember the last time I was able to lose weight. Seriously, do not think just try it. With the rebate offer, what do you have to lose other than weight?

Did WW back in the early 80s and have kept weight off.
Love the program because it is a lifestyle not a diet.

Reply
J January 5, 2018 at 12:56 am MST

I find the meetings are extremely helpful for great ideas, additional support, keep you on track, and accountability.

I re-joined two years ago when they ran the same promotion, and opted for the meeting plus online plan. Had significantly better success than previous WW online membership that I had tried. Lost the first 10 lbs in the two months, received my rebate, and continued to reach my goal weight (25 lbs lost) 6 months after joining and reached “lifetime” status, so I am able to continue to go to meetings and use the app for free as long as I go once a month and am within the weight range of my goal.

For those who have not tried WW before, not only is it healthier than many of the other weight loss programs out there, but additionally it makes it far easier to maintain since you do eat “regular” healthy food, and can easily incorporate into family meals with spouse, young children, etc.

Good luck to all!!!

Wow—this is so motivating~thanks for posting! For anyone who is on the program—do you use specific websites for recipes? Any quick recipes you would like to share? Do you still count points as we did in the past? Thanks so much!

Reply2

J January 5, 2018 at 6:01 am MST

Yes- you still count points, but the point values have changed, such as skinless chicken, fish, beans, fruit, and vegetables are all free (not including how you prepare it, i.e. You would count the olive oil, sauce, sides, etc). Also, depending on how long ago you did it, it is much easier to track now with the app- if it is a packaged food, you just scan the barcode! Most everything else is a quick search result.

Weight watchers has great recipes on their site; I especially love their 0 point butternut squash soup!! Believe you can only access the recipes as a member though.

Also they have on their site a recipe builder so you can easily calculate and store your favorite recipes from wherever, and it calculates the point value not only for each serving but also by line so you can easily see opportunities to possibly reduce, sub, or skip a specific ingredient. Spicesare your friend!!! They can really change the flavor of a 0 point food like vegetables, chicken, or even fruit. Someone in a WW meeting suggested barbecuing peaches and pineapple with cinnamon- delicious!!

You can also search for WW Instagram accounts. Many members post what they eat to be accountable to themselves and also it helps all of us with new ideas. There are also a few Weight Watcher Freestyle groups on Facebook that you can join and get many ideas. I’ve done the 10 pound refund before years ago. You can get it as a credit for two more months,or actually get a check. It’s legit. The WW 800 # is also very helpful and even give you an extra month for free if you are calling to cancel. I have been doing the online plan (which is great), but I’m switching to the meetings this week. I need to kick it up as I have my daughter’s wedding this year and I’m on a mission! Good Luck to everyone. 🙂

Lifetime Member. I lost 50 lbs 10 years ago and have successfully kept it off until this past 2 years. Huge life change, kids graduating and moving out etc. got the best of me, but I’m please to say that I took that step again this past week and am ready to get the extra lbs back off. I’m thrilled with my first few days, the app is incredibly helpful and having over 200 free foods makes this plan SO very doable. Worth every single penny!

Yes – the website also works very well; I actually use both mobile & website (from PC), depending on if I am already on the onlineputer.

As Linda suggested above, I find the PC site easier to print recipes, input recipe builder, etc. The mobile site onlinees in handy at the grocery store especially, as sometimes there can be a large point swing between brands or flavors of a type of item (such as jarred marinara sauce), but I believe they still sell the little point value calculator at meeting sites for a nominal fee.

Good luck!

My account is charged the 3rd of month. On 12/5 I sent letter to cancel auto pay on the card I was using because I want to use a different card and close this account. Sure enough my card was charged on January 3rd. Not so easy to stop payment I guess. Now I can’t close the card yet.

Denise I’ve had good luck with issues like this when I call customer service. Did you try that? I believe you can go into your account and delete it as well.

Reply

Michelle January 8, 2018 at 7:51 am MST

You for sure need to call customer service about a month before and let them know you want to cancel when your 3 months are up. They usually bill a few weeks before so if you miss the date, you will be charged. They are good about refunding though. Once your 3 month trial ends they switch you to regular monthly at $19.99. They will offer you a free month if you call to cancel…usually. You still need to call and cancel though. It says that somewhere along the signing up process. I had the same question when I first started. Good luck!

Suzy January 5, 2018 at 12:52 pm MST

I have one Weight Watchers now for 10 months and it is so worth it! After the first couple of weeks, it gets easier. It is all bout portion control and eating the foods you like.

Just a heads up….I did this starting in January and submitted the rebate after 2 months losing 10 lbs and my refund was denied because the refund is processed starting March 23 and takes 6-8 weeks and you need to be an active member during the processing period. So literally no way for me to get the refund without resubscribing for another 2 months.
