I know we have a few people on the site that have used/are using Weight Watchers to trim a few lbs. I'm finally in a position (for the first time ever!) to think about subscribing -- since I don't travel anymore, and my life has settled a bit.

I currently log all of my calories on fitday, make sure to exercise 4-5x/week, and have been trying to reduce my fat intake....but I'm not seeing results as fast as I'd like. So I'm considering joining.

I'd like to know:
1. Would you recommend WW?
2. What's the "magic" -- is it the points system? The weigh ins? Something else?
3. Do you think you could be as effective on your own without WW?
4. Is the online versoin as effective as attending the meetings?

Thanks for your help and advice!
