As always, it is lovely to see your face around! BTW -- I wanted to ask you, do you hear at all from LauraSue? I miss her! She used to be quite the regular on this board!
Anyway, back to WW! I have personally never been on BUT I thought about it and decided against it because my mom was on it and I looked at her material and thought it wasn't for me. My mom (5'2-5'3, I guess... 140 lbs) only gets to eat the equivalent of about 1200 calories a day. From everything that I have read anything below 1200 calories is "starvation mode" and I discovered that a lot of my weight gain came from not eating enough calories. MY other problem with it was what others have mentioned -- how difficult it is to eat SF foods. I don't eat very much bread, but I found anything like rice or potatoes or pasta would up my points super high. I personally cannot tolerate ANY raw vegetables and have a hard time with about 80% of cooked vegetables, so I was never eating even close to what I should have been.
If these aren't problems for you, though, you might be totally fine! I would say that you know your body enough not to starve yourself.. eat if you feel hungry, even if you are almost out of points. If you exercise, make sure you eat enough to input enough calories to fuel your body.
I think one thing about WW that some people really enjoy is having the accountability of going to the meetings and weighing in and having that support.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes!
