I think Weight Watchers is a great program, if you have the time, energy, and OCD to count points. It worked really well for me when I lost weight a few years ago, but I won't be doing it this time around because I don't want to have to obsess about anything...
What makes this hard for me this time is that I'm kinda trying to hide this from my mom, who is my roommate. I have a history of eating disorders (several years ago) so she's constantly paranoid that I'm going to become anorexic again, even though I'm technically obese now.
I made the appointment with the weight loss clinic, and my intake is on Friday, with follow-ups on Thursday nights. I hope they aren't a bunch of quacks...
