My wife and I have been following the Weight Watchers program since January 2004, and it's certainly one of the healthiest ways to live. I reached my goal weight in November 2004, and I've kept the weight off ever since. I've placed some of the information that helped (and continues to help) below.

Web Sites
About.com Weight Watchers Information Resources with Weight Watchers recipes for those following the diet.
All Recipes Great site for recipies of all kinds. This site isn't related to Weight Watchers, but they post nutritional information for all of their recipes.
Dallas Off-Road Bicycle Association Not associated with Weight Watchers, but DORBA is a great place to go if you're interested in biking for exercise in the Dallas area.
Dotti's Weight Loss Zone - Restaurants Great web site for finding out nutritional information at popular restaurants.
Health Discovery Another good source of information for Weight Watchers.
Journal to Success Contains daily food, activity, and weight journal available for visitors to use for free.
Weight Watchers The official Weight Watchers web site.
Weight Watchers Recipes Over 1000 recipes.

I also created an Excel spreadsheet that I use daily to track my points. I keep a copy of it on my USB thumb drive so that I can use it anywhere I go. I've included a copy of it below for anyone to freely download.
