Question

Good morning.  So, I am contemplating joining WW again.Good morning. So, I am contemplating joining WW again. Can those of you who have just done the digital package and not the all-inclusive give me some insight? Has it been successful, or do I need the coaching?  

Answer 1

I am online only. There is an online coaching service too, it’s like an instant messenger. I love it. Hubby and I have been very successful. We have lost almost 100lbs together in 4 months.

@ester wow! That's awesome! Which color plan do you follow? I am buckling down Monday as I keep going up & down.  

---

@lorrainelorrayne101 I am on purple plan, and he is on blue plan  I really like purple because the potatoes are free and whole grains are less points.  

---

@ester that is the one I am on. I like that I dont have to keep up with alot of things as they are free. Lol Now to get myself focused! Can you share what a day of food might look like for you?  

---

WOW! So, the online only is the cheaper plan, right?  

---

@lorrainelorrayne101 for breaking fast I normally have a some eggs and a piece of toast (I eat whole wheat bread, the great value brand is only 1 points, and I use imperial vegetable spread instead of butter and that’s only 1 point for 1/2 tablespoon). Normally I will have a piece of fruit. My fave snacks are fruit, fiber one brownies, and boom chicka pop popcorn. Lunch is normally tuna fish (no bread), some fruit, and a veggie. Dinner is chicken, a veggie, and some form of potato!  

---

@grind yes it is the cheaper option! We live way out in the country and driving out to meeting isn’t really worth it for us.  

Answer 2

I have just done the online it is successful, and I prefer the 23 points i switched and I did not like it

Comments

@arliearliene5 is 23 the blue?  

---

@lorrainelorrayne101 yes I switched to the 16 I felt like I could not stay under it

Answer 3

I’m online only because I don’t want to go to meetings. I’ve lost 16 pounds in 6 weeks. The app offers everything I need to stay on track.  

Answer 4

My husband and I have done online only twice now. It works, but we also have each other for accountability and support. We've lost a combined 35 lbs since beginning of February. We use the green plan (highest points allowed/lowest zero point foods). It works great!  

Answer 5

Sent you a PM

Answer 6

So WW is strictly colors now, I don’t understand. I have been looking to start it but am slightly confused

Comments

@shah44 you take a brief survey and it suggests a color for you. They differ in how many points your allowed per day and what foods are considered 0 points.  

---

Can you take the survey with out signing up lol

---

@shah44 unfortunately not

---

Be honest about how you eat. you have to give up sugar, but you can eat grapes, oranges, kiwis. strawberries or blueberries on oatmeal. I chose the green plan. fruits, vegetables, eggs, chicken, tuna, salmon, some beef cuts are zero points. Wow its soooo easy. Barcode scan for bread, pasta, rice, cheese, sauces, etc

---

@distress awesome thank you everyone for their tips

Answer 7

Hi. I just joined this week after speaking with my sister who is having a lot of success on WW. I was really hesitant at first tho, because I was confused how it works now. but it’s super easy! I’m only doing the basic package (I don’t really need to meet with people or groups for the motivation), but I love the app and how simple it is to track everything. I’m on the purple plan, and since 90% of the foods I already eat are on the free list, all I had to do was make a decision to cut out the soda and fast food, which was my lunchtime weakness. With a little planning, it’s been easy to have food ready for lunch. I also spent about 30 minutes and looked up everything I eat or cook with (shocked me to see avocado oil points), and then I use the barcode scanner on the app. I’ve now scanned everything with a code in my house, lol. I wish you success!  

Answer 8

I am only digital and have lost 34 lbs since January 13th. I have had a few cheat weekends but have stayed the course for the most part. Other than a few walks I have not exercised at all. I do track diligently and try hard. I do not snack during the day either. The best advise is to find substitutes for your favorite foods. You can do it take the plunge! I don’t regret it and love it!  

Answer 9

I only do online. I love it. With the community and emails I don’t feel like I miss anything.  

Answer 10

I’ve done online only since last May and lost 100 pounds. I love it. Great Connect community and you still get your milestone key chain markers.

Answer 12

As long as I track it works. When I think I know what points I’m eating I gain.  

Answer 13

Comments

@helbona that’s awesome really.  

---

@shah44 if you u understand the program and a just a little tech savvy you probably won't need to pay the extra for the coaches. Just hold yourself accountable and you can do it!  

---

I did it guys, you talked me into it  

---

@shah44 good luck to you. Message me if I can help.  

Answer 28

It’s amazing . easy to be disciplined

Answer 29

Honestly it depends on you. I tried online only before and it didn't work for me. I have since figured out I do better with actual meetings. Some can do online.  

Answer 30

I do online and like it. I am taking my time and have lost about 15 lbs in 3 1/2 months. But, I have a cheat day every week and I don’t exercise.

I think the way your doing it is smart.  

Answer 31

Read the contract carefully. I thought I was getting 30 days free and that I can cancel at anytime.  

Comments

@schoolteacher62 same here! I tried to cancel last night and it was going to charge me a $49 fee.  

---

@schoolteacher62 call the WW number. Maybe they can help.

---

@schoolteacher62 call your credit card company. WW should not be doing this!

@devitt1 Allen I was WW lifetime when I was in my 30s , but it was whole different plan. hardly any food. trying to get healthier again battling age, asthma and hypothyroidism. @fallacy your weight loss journey goes well Penny.  

Answer 37

I do digital only and have lost almost 35 lbs  

Answer 38

Online only and I’m down 76lbs. 4/22 will be a year  

Answer 39

I started as online only. I’m blue, it was only plan when I started, it worked so I stayed with it. I lost with just online, but added meetings once I knew I wanted to go for LIFETIME. You need to lose you last 5 pds to goal at a meeting, and maintain for 6 weeks at meetings to become LIFETIME. I lost 80pds and made LIFETIME all in 6 months.  

Answer 40

First time I'm doing just the phone ap and I'm slow but it's working! I recommend it, it's worth the $ especially if you've battled food problems all your life like me.  

Answer 41

Love it! Wish I'd done it sooner!  

Answer 42

I did digital and I lost 45 lbs. I was able to keep off most of the weight just being aware. I did gain a little over the holidays because I was not tracking. I didn’t gain it all back, just some! I have started back up and have lost 5 so far!

Answer 45
