Weight watchers is wonderful. I joined weight watchers when I was 17 and that's how I started to lose weight. It is a fast and easy way to become acquainted with calories, fat, fiber, etc. You'll get the hang of the point system to a point where you can guesstimate the point value of something by just looking at the calories/fat/fiber ratio, which is usually extremely important when picking foods. When you start the program, you will be SO surprised how many calories and fat everything you eat throughout the day as. It is also great because it gives you a goal to work towards daily (i.e. I do not want to exceed #points today). They also have weight watchers meetings, which I only went to one because I didn't feel that I needed to, but others find the group support helpful.
