Does Weight Watchers work?

Weight Watchers is a sustainable (2 pounds weight loss per week) and workable program that has been successful for over 40 years. It is common to see a number of people try different diet fads, only to return to Weight Watchers when things don’t go so well. It is also refreshing to see that their on-line will NOT accept people who are on (or 5 pounds above) the minimum weight range for age and height.
Pricing
Pricing varies, so you will need to check with the Weight Watchers® site.
Downsides?
No diet program will work for 100% of the population – but Weight Watchers is most certainly one of the best choices out there.
