Anyone here tryiing to lose weight?

I would argue that Weight Watchers is also a lifestyle change and not a diet. Yes, you do count points, but there's no "forbidden" food. When I was doing Weight Watchers faithfully, (and I really need to get back to it, I've just lost my motivation completely right now) tracking points was very similar to keeping a check-book.

I have to admit, WW is one of the better "lifestyles" or diets (however you refer to it). I went to WW for many years, and it served me well... I learned all the basics of eating right, exercising, paying attention to my body/health, and still remember some of the tips & recipes they taught. But my weight loss itself wasn't impressive, maybe 20 lbs total in the 5-6 years I did the program. I took the information they offered, and modified it to fit my lifestyle... only then did I really see the weight come off in good numbers. Oh, and getting a dog helped too - LOL.
