Hi Cara
I've been an on-line member for 2 years now. It is perfect for me as I work away from home a lot and couldn't commit to a class (and never liked them much anyway).
The website changed this year to show the SW plan as being EE, but has red/green featured as 'our other plans' so as with the classes/magazine the main focus for newbies is EE but it still gives info on the older plans if that is what you chose.
The downside for some of the website is that there is no personalised information or counselling. You get an e-mail to remind you to weigh-in and a lots of generic messages saying 'well done' but nothing personal or one-on-one. As I said, some people don't like this- personally I prefer just getting on with it myself and having all the tools to hand whenever, wherever I want. I use the food diary, fitlog and syn lookup almost everyday. I occasionally read the features or look-up recipes. I love my 'progress page' which shows a graph of my preogress and my stickers and progress photos that I have uploaded.
Much of the help you can get on here for free or do yourself, but I personally love having the actual SW answer (and not the interpretation of it as sometimes happens with consultants/other members/minimins users). I also love the fact that I have paid up-front- it keeps me on the straight and narrow as I wouldn't want to waste the money!
