I lost about 50 pounds with this plan before getting pregnant

I am a 27 year old woman. I am 5″5′ and currently weigh 230 pounds. I would like to lose 90-100 pounds.
I have had success losing weight in the past with the Weight Watchers Core plan.
I lost about 50 pounds with this plan before getting pregnant. On Core, there is a list of foods you can eat “until satisfied”.
Anything else, you can eat, but you have to count points.
This plan worked well for me because I never felt tempted to starve myself, then binge on junk later.
It also motivated me to exercise, since workouts helped me earn points I could then use for non-Core foods.
I also like Weight Watchers because of the accountability involved. Each week, you have to show up and weigh in with your leader.
After a few weeks, you feel like your leader is becoming a friend, and not losing weight would disappoint her.
So when I would think about overeating, I would think about how I would feel at weigh in that week.
Unfortunately, this can backfire if you overeat anyway and then just don’t go to the meetings. As for exercise, I mostly walked.
