Helen Bennett I lost 50 lbs and ate pizza every Friday way before the points system. I reached goal in 1994. I'm celebrating my 26th year anniversary tomorrow for being Lifetime. My maintenance journey is even harder than losing it ever was and I still have to do the same things. Meetings every week and weighing in (Lifetime are required to weigh once a month. However for me I need the weekly meetings, accountability and commadarie). There is no magic. Follow WW guidelines, enjoy the foods you love during your weight loss journey in moderation or you'll never survive WW maintenance. WW is for life. ⚘
