Review
Summary |
Started in the early 1960’s by Jean Nidetch, Weight Watchers® has evolved into a world-wide empire that has helped millions of dieters lose weight. The Weight Watchers® system, is a well balanced, effective and proven way to lose that extra weight. It is based on portion control and a strong support system. One of the first things you should do if you are thinking about joining Weight Watchers is see what their current customers have to say about the program. You can visit America’s Largest Blog website and read a popular Weight Watchers blog here. The real customers are the ones who will give you a true understanding of what to expect.
It is important to know how much weight you want to lose and then you can get a good sense for how long it will take you to achieve your goal on Weight Watchers. You can get a free diet profile that measures your Body Mass Index (BMI) here.
Of course weight loss with Weight Watchers® is based on portion control with your meals …which is very important and a big key to losing weight. The weight loss is healthy and steady, but many report that is slow-going. Weight Watchers does not supply or recommended any products that boosts your metabolism, suppresses your appetite or helps tone your body….and a lot of people would like these tools to help them receive results quicker. If you really want to accelerate your weight loss, we recommend checking out some quality weight loss products to use in conjunction with your Weight Watchers® program. See a list of popular weight loss products that have all been winners of our prestigious Sensational Reader’s Poll Award.

| Concept At a Glance |
If you are doing the live meetings, once a week you meet with, get motivated and inspired by the success stories of those around you and learn their tips and secrets. You’ll also weigh-in privately (no one, except the secretary will know your numbers). The atmosphere is up-beat and fun – you’ll be cheered for your weight-loss, and receive sympathy if the scale didn’t budge. The concept is that there is strength in numbers (your fellow dieters). We have had some Weight Watchers customers submit their Before and After photos to us to show their nsuccess. You can see some of these pictures by visiting our weight loss pictures page.
If meetings are not for you, try the on-line Weight Watchers® program and lose weight in the privacy of your own home. Fees are the same, but are paid up front for a specified period of time. All the same inspirational and motivational tools are available as well as chat rooms and forums.
On-line tools like recipes, restaurant ideas, exercise programs, and phone assistance is available to all program patrons. The grocery stores are full of Weight Watcher® foods and treats to help you on your journey, and a variety of cookbooks can be found in bookstores and on-line.

| Website In Focus |
|
As one would expect from a company of this size, the website is polished, professional and contains a wealth of information. Whether you attend meetings and just use the website for dieting tools – or are a full on-line member availing yourself of chat-rooms, FAQ’s, recipes, weight trackers or the myriad of other offerings, you will not be disappointed. This is a sleek, interesting site which is updated on a daily basis. Becoming a member is easy and all registrants are taken to a secure page on which to enter their information.

| Positives |
|
• Solid, sensible program with many food options.
• Both the classes and online interface are effective.
• The pounds stay off because it is a healthy weight loss.
|
| Negatives |
• Weight loss is somewhat slow. We recommend doing Weight Watchers® in conjunction with a good product….check out some popular and well respected weight loss pills like Nuphedrine®, Slim10®, or HoodiaP57®. There are also other products like CleanseRX® which helps you flush pounds of undigested waste from your colon – OR -- Slim Shot Diet® which is a powerful effervescent weight loss drink.
• Those who do the on-line program must stay self-motivated
• Prepared foods are high in sodium (if dieters decide to use them)
• Although the Weight Watcher’s customers have good things to say about their experiences, the weight loss takes time when the program is done all by itself. Click here to read a popular Weight Watchers Blog. |
| Final Thoughts |
|
For a complete approach to losing weight, this program has really done it right. The Weight Watchers® philosophy is a lifestyle change that will help you lose weight – and learn to keep it off for the rest of your life. The program is relatively simple and many dieters enjoy the support the classes offer – but the on-line program is good also. The program does incorporate exercise and lifestyle ideas that are beneficial and will help you on the weight loss journey.
This program also lends itself to the use of a weight loss supplement. Choose carefully and select one which uses both a fat-burner and an appetite suppressant for the most effective results.

TheFlexBelt® -
The abdominal toning Flex Belt® is truly an awesome advance in technology. This device is by far the most effective we have ever seen of its kind. The results are astonishing – The Flex Belt is proven to work for everyone. In fact – in a clinical trial done with The Flex Belt, 100% of the participants received results in flattening, toning, and strengthening their stomach. The Flex Belt is not a gimmick – it is 100% medical science. It is the first EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) product of its kind cleared by the FDA as a class II medical device for direct to consumer sales. The Flex Belt literally flexes your stomach muscles for you so they get a very concentrated work out. It makes it so that anyone can exercise their abs anywhere and anytime and it does all the work for you.

It is also great for people that are in awesome shape and already have a great stomach – it will simply make it more strong and defined.
