You will be weighed and measured (very discreetly) and given instructions on how many points you need to take in each day to lose weight. You attend the meeting (if you want to but I think you should particularly early on).
Each week, you go and weigh in and your progress is marked. When you reach your goal weight, you have to maintain it for six weeks. Once you maintain for six weeks, you are a lifetime member. You only go and weigh in once a month. If you stay within your goal weight (2 lbs.) each month, you don't pay anything. If you go over, then you have to pay $12 that month. If you skip a monthly weigh-in, you also have to pay $12.
I would recommend doing it in the building instead of on-line. To me, the greatest motivating factor was the weekly weigh-ins. Let me know if you have any other questions.

everything she said was correct, but i'd like to add that the extra advantage of the meetings is that some of the members there have been on the program for months and they're a great resource to use when you start - they've figured out which brands of certain foods are lower in points, they've all got great recipes, etc. i go to the meetings still, even though i've been with the program for a year, because knowing that i have to get on a scale and be accountable for my actions gives me a lot of motivation to not cheat and pay attention to my diet.
it really is a great program, and you don't have to commit to a bunch of meetings initially if you just want to try it for a little while. you can pay week to week.
