It has been a great system for me. Focus on teaching you to learn how to eat right for you rather than replacing your meals until you get to your right weight and then poof you're done. It has taken me a long time to get here. Might have taken less had I worked out a lot more. I took the amount of time I needed to learn the lessons I needed to learn though.

I have found that going to the meetings really is the key to getting the system to work. If you land in a mtg you don't like, Go find another one! There's a bout a million you can go to. The mix of people and leader is important to fit you.
