Hi, I am 18 (19 soon) and might I say, very broke. I am interested in Weight Watchers, my mom does it but she does it based on the old way with calories and stuff and it was too confusing for me. My cousin told me the points system is much easier to follow, but my problem is this: I CANT AFFORD TO JOIN!! It costs too much to sign up to diet programs, especially when your a student and are in the middle of paying for your upcoming college years lol So anyone that is willing to explain this whoel WW system and give me some hints, tips and how it works would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for anybodys help!

We have a friendly little Weight Watchers group here, http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=2 and you might be able to get enough info to get you started. However, something important to remember about Weight Watchers is that their success lies more in the support meetings than the diet plan. It is easy to follow, but it's just an average diet that limits how much you eat each day (though all diets do that, lol) When I was in college, there were WW meetings on campus at a reduced rate. You might look into that. Regardless, you should find some info on posts here, or at the official weight watchers site to get you going. I'm going to edit your email address from your post, though, because spambots will pick it up.
The shrimp cocktail that I posted in a separate thread has 4 points without the avacodo, and 6 points with. (and you can subtract a point from either if you only use 1/2 cup of picante sauce).
