Welcome!! I am a reformed WW-er myself!
(that was a long time ago..) I'm also a reformed Atkins-er!
This way of eating is great. It's very forgiving, like WW, and not nearly as strict as something like Atkins. Yeah, you have to give up the bread and fruit for a while, but it's totally worth it, and when you're full swing and at goal, you can eat "normally" with a much lower risk of things like heart disease and diabetes associated with refined foods, etc.
I know that since I've been on it, the days I've managed not to cheat, I feel HEALTHY. I eat more veggies now than ever before and have way more energy. I am the chocoloate chip cookie monster, and when I'm OP, the cravings subside big time. It's pretty remarkable. This board is a wonderful resource and full of great advice and even greater chicks!!
