Congratulations to you!
I can see how you would be sad to lose what you were succeeding with.
Not very good customer service on their part, that they have left you without realistic options.
Though it seems that WW now considers realistic as online and a smartphone.
But for many of us, it is not.

Maybe you should call Oprah! :)

Because if I do it on my own or just online, I'm a huge slacker with no accountability. I know it works for some to not join, but not for me.

I signed up today, so fingers crossed, I'll see some progress soon!

I started WW again...(last time was 28 years ago) I know it's a good program and works. Have lost 10+ in last month!!! Yippee!!!

I started WW on January 8. As of this past Monday, I've lost 22.2 pounds. :)

I have to pay the fee because I have to follow something...not just do it on my own.

I'm paying the fee, too. Their website and phone app (especially the bar code scanner) make it super-easy to track everything, so I feel that it's worth every penny for the convenience. I'm doing the online-only program. I'm a very private person in real life, so the thought of going to meetings is terrifying! Plus, by paying a fee, I'm more likely to stick to the program, if that makes sense.

It's been so easy so far that I'm wondering what took me so long to sign up. :D

Moonrise, yes that makes sense.
I am so happy for all of you losing the weight. I need to check it out. I used to belong a long time ago
but haven't kept up with it.

Weight watchers works! I reached lifetime in 2000 and have kept the weight off ever since. Hang in there. You did not put the weight on quickly, so don’t expect it to come off quickly.

We are a WW family and have been for many years. My husband is a life member and goes every month for a a weigh in and lecture. He enjoys being with the people there. We are both at goal weight and I use their materials and have a couple of cook books (I also reference the internet recipes.) The system works because it teaches you about food selection, preparing food from a realistic standpoint. I think it is the best system going. I know how to be thin!
