Has anyone joined a weight loss group for the support rather than the diet?

[whyme2]

I need to lose lots of weight. I know lots about nutrition and calories and exercise but I am not doing very well on my own. So I was wondering if I joined a group like Slimming world or weight watchers or Rosemary conley etc for the support side of losing weight rather than the prescribed diet. Would this work? Or would I feel like I needed to follow their diets to join in?
Would I be allowed? Am I just wasting my money?

Tbh I am a bit stuck about the whole thing. I have been using mfp online which I have found helpful but I have no friends on there so there isn't anyone to moan to when I am struggling or cheer me on either. I just feel like I could do with some real life kicks up the bum now and then

Come join us on the MFP support thread, just tell us your username and you'll have loads of friends in no time.

Thank you QueenStromba for your invitation.
