Atkins, South Beach or Weight Watchers

[kris1973]

I have tried WW 4times and find that I give into eatting to much because I have the freedom of having sweets as long as I don't go over the points. I can not afford to pay the 12.00 a week to see the scale.

When I tried the low carb I did really well the first 3wks then fell off due to not being able to eat as much sweets as I like. Soooo I am not sure which plan I should stick with.

I need to loose a staggering 150 pounds so this is something I need to be able to do for the long haul. Going to the gym is not an issue I have a group of friends who go with me 3 to 4 times a week. But then of course my appetite goes up

Does anyone else have my problems and which plan is working for you?

Thanks
Kristin

I've used all three, but lost my 100 pounds with a program called Health Management Resources, which combined calorie-consciousness with a very strong suppport system, between medical professionals, weight-loss coaches, and support group support. Of course, all that's a bit more than $12 per week!

It's true that $12 per week is a lot to see a scale, but from what I remember, Weight Watchers offers a great amount of support, for those who want it. That support is very much worth the $12 per week, if it makes the difference between success and failure. I think support, group support and support from a weight-loss coach, is highly underrated. We all can follow any one of these programs and lose weight, but support makes the difference between can and will.
