As far as weight watchers, if you are a chick, and you are into salad and chocolate and leisurely strolls, I think Weight Watchers can possibly work as a lifestyle for money and time invested.

If you are not of that type of metabolic body type - that you can digest carbs and feel some sense of satiety, you are better off with a South Beach or Atkins lifestyle. (caveman diet)
You may not be aware that WW now has an option called "core" that puts more emphasis on eating protein and complex carbs, and which would be compatible with a more "south beach" style of eating. Your description of the program as salad and veggie soup is outdated.

In any case, I would recommend that the OP either figure out the program from the websites posted above, or try the WW meetings and see if that kind of support is helpful to you. If it's not, you'll have the program materials within the first 4-6 weeks and can continue on your own.
