I rejoined on Monday after many years and many failed diets. I feel so much better exerting control over my eating. I will be around for a while (about 75 pounds to lose), but it is so worth it!

Answer 8

Answer 9

I'm 70. Started at 67. My goal weight is about 20lbs higher than the one I had at 27 when I reached goal way back then, as suggested by my doctor. I have lost 79lbs with another 15 to go. Has it been slow? Yes, very slow. Has it been worth it? Yes, 110% worth it!  

Answer 10

I’m 72 and when I’m on weight watchers I feel I’m in control of my eating! Feel so much better! You can do this!  

Answer 11

Definitely! I’m 66 and just rejoined 3 weeks ago. 5+lbs down with about 20 more to go. So worth it. I was scared and embarrassed that I had gained back but was welcomed with open arms.  

Answer 12

Im 72 and want to rejoin again. Will be the third time. Had to quit before because of not reaching goal and it was getting unaffordable. How much below goal can one go? Anyway i can't do it now because i broke my ankle. Non weight bearing yet. So can't do anything as far as exercise goes. I did loose 25 pounds my first go around. WW works.  

Answer 13

I rejoined after a long break. Started after Christmas and my goal weight is higher than the first time. Lost a stone and feeling very pleased with myself ! If I can do it so can you! I don’t think it matters what age you are.  

Answer 14

I am 65 and still working the program!  

Answer 15

I’am 66 and working the program you got this.  

Answer 16

I am 88 an x lifer back on with only 3 lbs to go Took awhile but the journey has been worth it Found some beautiful new friends and lost some ugly old fat If i can do it you can too

Answer 17

I’m 82 and an xlifer, also. I have gained and lost over the years, but each time I had gotten to goal and stopped tracking. Go for it and stick with the program. As I say all the time “Take it a day at a time”.  

Answer 18

Do it! I’m lifetime also. I went back 3 yrs ago in March. Got to my goal weight last March. I set my goal doable at 155. I’m 73 and I go every week. I’ve had some down weeks but we have a fantastic trainer and support group. It’s well worth with it!  

Answer 19

I’m 51 and started 2 weeks ago. My goal weight is 140-145.

Answer 23

Well I'm 56. I went back after 7 years my self a year ago 02. 10. 19. And in year you can. One year later . Also wiser! #! Just a pound at a time. Left 388. Right 283 . I just gotta keep going. I will be your cheerleader!  

Answer 24

I’m 49 & change. There’s never a wrong time to be healthy. I’m not focused as much on being a size 2 or 4. Because I am not sure I could maintain that. I have a weight I’d like to get to. Then we’ll see. I’ll still be overweight but under 200 and much smaller than I am now.  

Answer 25

Do it.  

Answer 26

I’m 72, 10 years ago I joined WW & reached my goal of 146 (lost 28 lbs). Fast forward 10 years - I gained back about 10 lbs and knew I would continue to gain if I “didn’t do something about it”. Last April I rejoined and have lost 29. 2 lbs. I feel terrific, I’m comfortable with my new body and my doctor is working on taking me off of my blood pressure meds. If I can do it —- you can too!  

Answer 27

At WW, you no longer set a goal weight and struggle to reach it. Meetings now focus on smaller, attainable goals, wins and non-scale victories.  

Answer 28

You can do any thing, you are a strong woman at any age. You got this

Answer 29

Answer 30
