4. Lifetime member here...

I am so excited for you. You are amongst friends on a journey to wellness overall.

I came back as a Returning Lifetime member in June of 2013. It took me 13 months to lose 53 pounds. Reached goal for the final time in July of 2014. Since then, I am currently 10 pounds under after 6 long road trips and 2 International trips. WW is a lifestyle program that teaches you so much. The in-person studio meetings are so worth it because there you meet others on this journey and learn how to do this.

There have been several changes since then, all for the good. The program now, via the WW app, is so doable. I take the WW lifestyle with me when I travel. Since November when the changes came about and I was on a 2 month vacation, I ended up losing almost 3 pounds. I am very active as well. Walk 25 miles a week and head to the gym 4 to 5 days a week to walk and work out with the local body builders. I will also be turning 70 at the end of May.

Hang in there. There will be weeks where the scale may not budge. Your WW Leader is the one best to guide you, teach you, and a lot more. The App is there to help you as well with recipes, scanning foods to get point values, coaching, exercise, and more. There are programs out there, but Weight Watchers is the best. And be sure NOT to beat yourself up.
