Anyone like WW diet but not the meetings?

I started Weight Watchers last week so I can finally get rid of these 25 lbs I've been carrying around. I like the diet and find the points easy to stick to. However, I can't stand the meetings. Perhaps it's the meeting I chose to go to or perhaps it's the particular leader, but it's waaaaay to touchy feely for me. I understand that it's meant to be encouraging but it seems like this woman is over the top. Anyone else have this experiance?

I just started and I love the meetings! Its not touchy feely at ours, just very upbeat, fun and informative. Is there another time you could go where the may have a different leader? I really look forward to going.
I love the diet too! Its so easy and it doesn't make you feel like you are dieting either.

I love the leader, but don't like the meetings. I am very, very slow at weight loss and nothing makes me feel worse than hearing how much other people lost during the past week. Honestly, I'd prefer a meeting where it didn't focus so much on the pounds, but on those non-scale victories. I decided that the "bad" feeling I get from the meetings wasn't worth it to me so I decided to join online a few weeks ago. Best of luck to you!

I went to another meeting this morning, and I think I know why this lady grates on me. She talks to the group as if we're kindergarteners. "And how's my little dieters today? Ooh! Jimmy lost a pound! Let's all clap for Jimmy and give him a sticker! Now Mary, if you do well next week, you'll get the sticker. Won't that be nice?" The whole meeting I wonder if she realizes we're adults. Encouragement is great, but this lady is nuts. Maybe I should try to go a different day when she's not there.

Regardless, I lost 2.2 lbs this week which is pretty much miraculous for me.

I have never been to a meeting.

I have an old weight watchers program on my palm pilot, basically a food/point tracker, that I use. Works for me.

I am doing WW online & love it. I'm not a "meetings person" I just know I wouldn't like going to meetings every week. I don't have the time anyway. Online is working great. I'm down just about 12 lbs so far & I've been on it 6 weeks.

I travel and the only meeting I can go to is lead by a woman I could happily strangle. She is very patronizing and also has no control over the actual meeting. It started half an hour late and then we spent half the meeting while a few members tried to figure out how to add. (I am serious. These two women came every week and apparent cannot add or read. "Can you tell me how many points are in an apple? So if I add that to the ceral? I am at three.. Now for lunch I had tuna salad, how many points is that?" SHUT UP!)

So I do on line and skip the meetings.
