Another option you might consider, is finding a TOPS group in your area. Tops is a nonprofit diet group. It's about $24 to join (for the year) and includes a monthly magazine and generally under $5 a month (our chapter charges $3 a month, and you can get the month dues free in several ways - losing $10, losing 3 weeks during a month).
TOPS does have an official exchange based diet plan, but you can follow any plan you'd like. Many members are former Weight Watcher's members and some still use their WW materials. Someone may be willing to share or pass along their materials.
Most TOPS groups also sponsor a lot of small contests, so if you're motivated by a little friendly competition and the weekly weigh-ins, it's a good alternative to WW.
