It’s working like a charm. I’ve been consistently able to lose 3 to 5 pound for the last month, so I’m very pleased with it. Thanks for sharing.

Instead of counting calories, you count points which are much easier to count.

Another difference is that you weigh yourself only once a week.

And it works. At least for some people around me.

I am sure there is a DIY Weight Watchers so you don’t have to pay.
