    Well the first thing to do is to get your diet in order.

    That means coming off fad diets like Weight Watchers and changing to a sustainable, nutritious healthy diet and something that you can see yourself doing long-term.

    After that I'd look into doing some weights and some HIIT.

    This.

    Also squats and lunges, everyday.

    I think you can eat healthily on ww if you so choose. Stick to the "filling foods", look at your food diary & cut any rubbish - sweets, chocolates, biscuits etc, white carbs, booze (if you can manage it).
    The Jillian Michaels 30 days shred is a great workout dvd that does
    cardio-weights-abs circuits and I found very ffective. Intense 20ish minute workout everyday.

    Weight watchers is a way to track food. It's not a meal plan or a crash diet.
    There's no reason you can't choose sustainable, nutritious and healthy meals AND track them with WWs.

    Weight Watchers does not promote a nutritious/healthy diet in my opinion as it demonises fat, particularly saturated fat. We need these fats in our diets for a myriad of uses, as you probably know. All food with high saturated fat content (butter, cheese, nuts etc) are given a high number of points, whereas some foods made up of refined sugars/simple carbohydrate are given lower points values (I can think of those pink wafer biscuits which are half a point each).

    I believe this leads to people on Weight Watchers favouring lower pointed food items, in order to stay within their daily limit of points, despite making the less nutritious food choice.
