I think I've joined ww at least 20 times in the last 10 years!! Often I join twice or even 3 times in a year, do it for a month or so and quit. I even once got the 16 week pin... sad thing was in that 16 weeks, I hadn't even lost 16 pounds! (too much up and down from week to the next losing the same 2-3 pounds and gaining it back!)

Now I sort of want to join ww just to get those pins and keychains and things.

I never, never, ever, got my 10%. In the last 4 weeks, I have totally lost 10% of my weight!

Does anyone else feel this way? I feel it's a bit like revenge!

AMEN!!! I have felt exactly as you have. I did EVERY diet I ever heard of only to have gained the inital weight back and then some!

I did the same thing with WW. I know how you feel. I never made it to my 10% I don't think I every lost over 20lbs with it but I would love to go back just to see if I can.

I'm so feeling it also. I never got to my 10%, I never got a pin, a key chain or any thing else but boy did they get my money! If I had just taken that money and got my surgery I would be a very happy camper.

And I dont know about anyone else but every time I went there (which was alot) they were always bashing wls. They went on and on about doing it on your own and of course there is always someone who knew someone who almost died.

I'd like to see them now! Tina

I think WW offers two very healthy diet options. I plan, once I can actually eat, to follow a more Atkins type diet for weight loss, but WW is a balanced plan. I don't tolerate band bashing from my friends who do WW and I don't think it's right to bash WW either. It works for a lot of people...and weight loss is supposed to be slow and steady, not fast. Actually the 1-2 pound loss on the band is comparable to the 1-2 pound loss WW averages.

I may go, once I've lost a bit on my Atkins, just to remind me to get a more balance, healthy diet. Yes, it's a business, but what's wrong with that? Next to the band or WLS they have the highest success rate in the nation.
