Weight Watchers is the best weight loss program out there. The program works if you work the program. I love it also. Some people find counting points as an inconvenience. It keeps me grounded. Make it fun and enjoy it. Me and my daughter go together and it's the best way to do it. The buddy system is always better. We encourage each other by acting as a support system. Try to stay for every meeting if you possibly can. The more meetings you can attend for the duration, the longer you stay motivated after leaving there. Water, water, and more water! I think you'll be very pleased with it. Good luck to you and your Mom
