I'm not even sure what the point is of WW any more, since counting points has been the primary premise of their weight loss plans for decades. The drugs work in such a way that you don't need to count anything. If you eat too much, or eat the "wrong" thing, you suffer the consequences pretty quickly (nausea, vomiting).

The drugs don't work for everyone, but they're still a pretty sure thing - very few people end up not losing any weight on them, especially if they progress to the highest dosage. And generally speaking, most people find the weight loss itself to be incentive to stay on the drugs, as long as the side effects aren't intolerable.

On the other hand, doing one of the Weight Watcher's plans is far less expensive than the drugs, even if it generally means struggling with hunger, which is why so many people would give up on WW so often, then try again, rinse and repeat, over and over for years... decades.

With the lawsuits against the drug companies over serious side effects though, it's entirely possible that Weight Watchers will eventually rise from the ashes to be the darling of weight loss again.
