Tara,
I've been using the at home kit for about 6 days now and I am very happy with it. I was a little hesitant at first about it also, because I didn't want to spend the money and not be able to stick with it. I tried counting calories in past and always got bored and just gave up. This is so much easier!! Once you get your kit and read all the info and there is alot it makes so much sense. Even though Ive been doing this just a short time its already easy to look at a nutrition label and know if its going to be a good choice points wise.
I don't even know if I have lost weight yet; I just feel like this program is really going to work for me. It really gets you to focus on choosing quality food, not just quantity.
I love Sonic HBs and when I got my companion book I found out they are a whopping 16 points for a double meat cheeseburger, ouch! If I do it the ww way that is about 3 meals if I choose healthy foods. I don't really feel like I have given up anything.
The kit itself is really nice, I got the one with the pedometer. I love the sliders that help you look up points instantly (activity and food). The companion books cover so much food and there point values its amazing. I even found Blue Bell ice cream, thats not sold just everywhere (texas and surronding states i think). I really didn't think it would be in there.
For the first time in years I actually know I'm going to achieve my weight loss goals and the ww at home kit is the absolute best purchase I've ever made.
I hope this helps and good luck with your decision.
Angel
