I went to meetings for about 6 months,and didn't even lose 10 lbs. I've been doing it at home for 2 weeks and have lost about 4-5...the difference for me was all mental and internal. I would fall off the wagon, then pretty much starve myself before the weigh in... when we moved here, I decided not to do it as a way to save money, as chicago is more expensive than Madison... For me, meetings helped if I was already making good decisions, and pretty much staying on plan. If I was falling off the wagon, or had fell off, the outcome was no different between meetings and no meetings.
For some people, meetings are the dealmaker, the extra accountability and being with like minded people. A lot of it has to do with your leader, how they lead the meetings and how helpful they are at helping you, encouraging you.
I'd try going to the meetings, even for a month, and see if it makes a difference for you. A month isn't that expensive, and that way you can see if it helps or not... try it, it may be what you really need.
