For me, it was $10 per meeting and I just went to the meetings until I learned how to do it, which was about 4 or 5 times I guess. Then you buy 2 books that have all the points and stuff in them. I think together they are like $30. It's been awhile, but I know it cannot be much more than that. Once you learn how to do it and buy the books, you won't have to spend anymore money.
I never had to weigh any food. I just kind of guesstimate the serving size. It wasn't hard. The books are SO helpful...one of the books has points for every single kind of food imaginable...the other book is called the "Dining Out Companion," and it gives you the point amounts for every kind of food at every fast food restuarant and most popular chain restaurants. So, you don't feel like you are restricting yourself. I even ate Wendy's hamburgers when I was on the diet! Then if you run out of points for that day and you're still hungry, you just eat things that are zero points. For example, broccoli is zero points and fat free italian dressing is zero points, so if I got hungry I would zip broccoli in the dressing and pig out! Green beans are zero and so is Dale's marinade, so I would eat green beans cooked in Dale's....YUMMY! Even though I'm not on the diet now, I am keeping the weight off because WeightWatchers is really a lifestyle chage. I love it!
