Weight Watchers Online???

So I had my meeting with my reg. doctor today and she said that my insurance requires me to have 6 months of physician supervised diet. So she recommended weight watchers since my insurance also pays for that as well. So, I came home and started to sign up..but seen that there is now a Weight Watchers Online Option..which you can do everything online...I didnt get a chance to ask my doc about it cause I didnt know about it..but Im wondering if this would suffice. Ive been on weight watchers before..so I know Im doing it as a means to and end..in other words..just doing it cause thats whats my insurance says I have to do. Anyone have any experience with this? I mean, I will go to the meetings if I have to..but the closest one is 45 minutes away and the online thing would be so much easier!
