Five years ago I lost 30 pounds (with no program) in 5 weeks, just by
reducing portions. Of course I then quit and put the weight back on.
A relative has been successful with WW for years and now I'm interested. I
hate to commit to it completely right now, but I am interested in getting a
book on eBay that lists the foods and their 'points' per serving, ounce,
ect. Then I can give WW a try.
There are so many publications for sale on Ebay that I don't know what I am
looking for.
I see they even list pocket calculators. Would these be a good investment?
Sure would appreciate some guidance in this matter and identifying the
'points' book.
. . .in advance, . . . .thanks.

Yup, best way. That way you get all the info you need, not just the
points book, and the latest up to date stuff rather than cast-offs from
previous versions.

you can just go for the first twelve weeks if you want to get the info, but
for me, i go every week because what "works" for me is the support of the
meeting, Lee

The points books won't be much help unless you know how many points YOU are
supposed to eat. It is different for everyone. To get that information
(your personalized points target), you will need to join WW. It's not a
lifelong commitment. You can always quit if you don't like it.
