Don't you have to go to the Weight Watchers meetings? Also, don't it cost money to use their online guide?
I do weight watchers, and I don't go to meetings, and I don't pay for anything but what food I buy... if you know someone that does/did it before, ask them for their book and counter to figure out how many points a day you get in all, and for me, after doing it for about 2-3 weeks, I knew what I could have, and could look at stuff and know how many points it was...
I went from 208ish, I'm down to 189 now...(I've been through a wedding, and everything else, and I'm still doing pretty good)
You can ask Nachomama, she seen me pre WW, and recently, the first thing she said- "you have lost some weight, I could tell by looking at your face"

or something of that nature...
