Are Weight Watchers meetings vital to weight loss?

I have the books to track the points, but I wanted to go to meetings as well. However, I looked up the meeting schedules and locations and they completely clash with my school schedule (I would have to drop a class just to go to meetings). Will I likely be as successful if I don’t go to meetings?

It’s really a personal choice, you could go do meetings or try online. The WW message board is full of posters who swear sucess by doing the program online. While others – like myself, like the accountability of meetings.

Healthy Weight Loss

No matter how peaceful your nature, when it comes to the battle of the bulge, you have to put up a good fight. In our eat-and-run, massive-portion-sized world, maintaining a healthy weight can be hard enough, and healthy weight loss can be a real struggle. The abundance of fad diets and “quick-fix” plans that tempt and confuse us and ultimately usually do not work.

Weight management not only makes you look and feel better, it influences your future health. A healthy weight decreases your chances of developing serious health risks such as heart disease or diabetes.

If your last diet attempt wasn’t a success, or life events have caused you to gain weight, don’t be discouraged. The key is to find a plan that works with your body’s individual needs so that you can avoid common diet pitfalls and instead make lasting lifestyle changes that can help you find long-term, healthy weight loss success.

Lifestyle Change – Permanent weight loss is not something that a “quick-fix” diet can achieve. Instead, think about weight loss as a permanent lifestyle change. You are making a commitment to your health for life. Various popular diets can help to jump-start your healthy weight loss, but permanent changes in your lifestyle and food choices are what will work long term.

Find a cheering section – Social support means a lot. Programs like Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers use group support to impact weight loss and lifelong healthy eating. Seek out support, whether in the form of family, friends, or a support group, so that you can get the encouragement you need.
