CH, losing weight also involves changing your lifestyle. I lost a significant amount of weight with Weight Watchers and found it to be a well balanced program that makes adjustments for the various starting points for each individual. It's not a one size fits all kind of deal. I personally enjoyed it and had great success. After leaving the program for some stupid reason or another, I have gained SOME back but not nearly half of what I lost. It's a good program and I hope to get involved again with it soon, myself. :) Good luck to you!
