Reasons being:
- Doing us a disservice by using a points-based system, not a nutritionally-based system
- Constantly pushing their (not-so-great) foods (my leader does not push, but the site and their emails do)
- Having terribly frustrating, not fully-functional website and apps
- Focusing on the holistic crap at the meetings (ffs, I am here to lose weight. I can meditate on my own, yes?)
- There are other reasons, but these are the ones that roll off my fingers.
I tried tracking (yes it works, but it doesn't need to be done through WW) and journaling/blogging for a few weeks (on the website, which was slow) and can't seem to get back into it. I'm still signed up for another month at least so damned if I'm going to let that go by the wayside, though.
Anyway, I suspect I might be more prone to stick to a long-term health plan if I can think about it myself... I may try a different way of tracking that actually tells me real nutritional amounts (grams) of what I'm eating. The WW site will tell you calories, but that's only one snapshot, and frankly, for those of us who are interested in real data, it's useless.
Also, I miss this blog. That's right. I'm back, baby! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! :D
No idea on whether I will be posting food-related updates or journaling weight-loss whatnot or just sharing some shit now and then, but I might. Thoughts?

BACK ON THE BEAN! :) 2016 Grrrrrrr!
Hooray! I love reading your blog, and I for one would like to hear about your nutritional adventures.
I finally quit for similar reasons. Every meeting was a sales pitch, a short presentation by the WW person, then a bunch of the same people saying the same things they said the week before. I went back to online only, and finally got tired of watching my points go down, down, down and I was hungry all of the time. The constant emails annoyed me. I figured, "Why not just go back to counting calories?" I joined the gym, found My FItness Pal, and have not looked back. I gained back 10 but I have stuck with my strength, yoga, and cardio program for almost 3 years now. I know I need to rework my nutrition at this point though. I send support!

I love the Supertracker and the way it tallies your intake and grams and stuff. My mom has had wonderful success with calorie counting too. Everything old is new again? ;)
