Being successful online is easy if you have the motivation and accountability to do so. Yes you get all the info that you get at meetings but you get no group/leader support. Sometimes the information is hard to find on the website but they do have a pretty good search function and for the most part the people who post there a lot will help you find where to find the info. They will not and cannot post it on the message boards there because W/W is very hard on their copyright and do tend to band those who post the info. That means no posting of points mostly.

are you supposed to do both -
You don't have to do both. You can pick one or the other or you can do the meetings with the supplement of e-tools.
QUOTE=evylou;1459940]Join and go to the meetings. I tried losing without the meetings and it didn't work. If you can afford the monthly pass (I think it's about 35.00 a month) you can go to any number of meetings and don't have to pay for the ones you miss. It also gives you e-tools, which I think is a wonderful tool. [/QUOTE] I am not sure if evylou realizes this but Monthly Pass is not available everywhere it depends on the franchise. However you can purchase e-tools even if the monthly pass is not available. It is about $13 a month.

Andrea is correct with online you don't get the books to carry with you because all of it is available online to you.
Personally I like online for many things but I needed the accountability of weighing at meetings. I rarely stayed for the meetings I just paid, weighed and then went to the gym.
