Yesterday I started Weight Watchers. Medifast was a colossal failure, although I will admit the plan helped me get what a "small meal" is supposed to look like. It did not, however, help me lose any weight that I was able to keep off over the true test of time.

I started Weight Watchers entirely reluctantly after my friend Patty started on it. I let her go first, then decided to jump in the pool. I have always believed it's the best plan out there. It's the only thing my doctor recommends.
