I too use both. Even now that I am lifetime, I pay to use all the features of the online-- it is cheaper just to do online.)
There are a lot of people on the online that do not use the meetings, I found I needed both. The accountability to weigh in and have an in personal meeting and I could not have done what I did without the online tools either.
WTG!!! I've been on since April 22 and have lost 33 pounds. I also love my leader - she is very interesting, exciting, & motivating. We have a great group on Tuesday nights.
i just recently re-started ww on my own. i have found a couple of websites that i love. pretty much everyone who posts is on ww and the good thing is that its free. the people on there are so supportive.
I just started on Tuesday, I opted for the online only since it includes access via my cell phone. None of our local meeting times would really work for me, plus, on a visit to the local office I was not that impressed with what I saw/heard. So far I'm loving the online trackers, they really help this WW novice. So far, since Tuesday I have lost a couple of pounds already, I'll see more after I do my official weigh in on Tuesday morning.
I started my hubby and I on line last Sat. I also bought the start up kit. This works great for us. We use the I phone app and we love it. Our first weigh in is Sat and we have already lost weight. I keep him honest and he is a tech geek so this online is perfect for him.
I do both meetings and online. I find them both very helpful. I have been going since July 7, 2009 and have lost 17 pounds. I still have a very long way to go but with the help of all my weight watcher friends I should be able to make it......
