Maybe you want to try Weight Watchers, after all the recent good press coming from US News and World Report and other reputable sources extolling the virtues of this as the best diet for weight loss.  Or maybe you were inspired watching as Jennifer Hudson’s curvaceous figure gradually melted away as she recovered her life after tragedy and fame left her reeling — all while following the Weight Watchers plan.  Then, let’s not forget the very recent success story of Charles Barkley who has led the charge to make weight loss seem “manly,” for men.  Weight Watchers meetings, however, are not for everyone.  Is there a way you can try it out without going to all those pesky meetings?  You bet there is.
