If I were you and didn't want to go to weekly meetings, I'd join a meeting at a time when there's free registration, go to one meeting where you get the starter kit and the leader's explanation, and then quit going. That's the cheapest way to get the stuff AND the explanation and get any questions answered plus you get the input from any other new members who are there when you are.
With that said, I'm going to put in a plug for meetings. I tried many, many times to do WW without going to meetings. Never worked for me. I need that support and accountability. And, from what I've read, WW research supports the idea that people who attend meetings are more successful at losing weight AND keeping it off, which is the hardest part of weight loss. However, everyone is different, and you certainly might be one of those exceptions. Whatever you decide to do, make a commitment to yourself and to healthy living.
which way to 'buy' in?
