I like WW as a program. I do not like WW as a company as they tend to really nickle and dime you the fuck to death. And the last six or eight meetings I've been to ended up nothing more than hour-long sales pitches for more WW products.
Getting all that shiny new WW stuff tends to motivate me, though, and there is a benefit to the camaraderie of the meetings.

HOWEVER, just because I am paranoid of becoming overly obsessed with food, does not mean it is a dangerous program for anyone else.
For example, what Jenny said.

Points are calculated based on some complicated algorithm that looks at fat, fiber, and calories and while you do have to look things up at first, it starts to become second nature after awhile. For example, while I am technically not "on program" right now, I happen to know that I've eaten 14 points so far today, including the apple I'm going to eat during class tonight, leaving me 8 for dinner.
I have successfully done WW on line and using meetings, so it really depends on what fits into your schedule. I find meetings to be more palatable when I go with someone I like, but that can backfire, too (see Courtney and I enabling some v. bad food practices for each other) so, yeah.
I think that the potential for exacerbating food obsession is pretty accurate, but if you've got a handle on that kind of thing going into it, you should be okay. Sometimes, like now, I can't handle life stress plus keeping track of everything I eat, especially when I don't have a lot of time for cooking/packing lunch, but I have generally been pleased with WW.

I won't contest John's arguments--no lo contendre, or something. But I will say that it's nonsense to say that the accent of a fair-sized area is a mispronunciation. "Whore" and "horrible" are NOT pronounced the same if you are from certain parts of the East Coast.

I went to the gyno to get an IUD today and they couldn't even get the tool to measure my uterus through my cervix cause it's too goddamn tough....what the fuck is that shit? They had to call in backup and then when the second PA couldn't do it either they were like..."Ummm, have you thought about birth control pills?"...goddamn my cervix, it's like a fucking maximum security prison up in that bitch.
