I had given up then a WW at Work started up at my company. In 16 weeks I lost 20 pounds so I knew I could get the rest off. Our at work program stopped, so I continued going to meetings at a center. Ultimately I lost 60 pounds and for the most part have kept it off since 2007. For a while, my husband went too and lost some weight, but he would not track his food. I tried to get him to go back, but he says he knows he won't track his food so why bother. He is diabetic, takes a jillion meds and is tired all the time. I keep good food around and cook low point foods, but he eats junk and high point foods otherwise.
His problem is carb addiction which he readily admits. I love a good carb too but I know how to balance that out. If I could get him to eat fewer carbs it would help a lot, but he will eat those potato chips and Doritos. He also consumes mass quantities of diet Dr Pepper, and those artificial sweeteners cause insulin rebounds. With that stuff it is all about portion control. I wonder if she thinks (as many folks do ) that you have to eat WW branded foods like Jenny Craig,(you don't) or if she thinks the foods are too restricted,(they aren't) or if she thinks it is too hard to keep up with (it isn't). I run into people all the time who do not believe we can eat what we want but need to keep track of what we eat so we can balance it out.
Nowadays, you can run the whole program from your phone if you like, and keeping up with the points is so easy now since there are so many zero point foods.
I had a relapse and picked up 20 (it crept up on me slowly and it was my clothes that told me I needed to Do Something.) I went back in January of 2015 after my daughter set her wedding date and got rid of that weight in time to get my dress.
I picked up 10 over the last year and am now back at meetings. I am losing and working the program.
Good luck!
