I joined it on Jan. 1. I have lost 3 1/2 lbs. I do like it and I think the breakdown of dietary intake (fat, carbs, protein) has been eye opening to me and made me more aware of my very high intake of carbs. Over the past several years I have been gaining slowly and had tried Weight Watchers several times. It had worked for me in the past but I just could not make any progress on it the last few times. I really think it was because there was no discerning carbs from other types of calories. Now that I am more careful about carbs, I am losing weight. Slowly, but it is coming off. I also feel better.

I do agree that the food diary portion of the website is cumbersome and disorganized as far as food groups, etc. and it a lot of work to enter foods that are not on the lists. There are also a lot of foods that are commonplace but just not on the list.

Overall, though, it has been a good thing for me.
