I did well on WW in 1979 when I was younger. When I rejoined a year ago, guess what? There were a lot of the same people there, as had been in 79-80, fat again because IMO they never broke their habits. Last year I lost 25 lbs. in WW but it took me 8 months. In three I gained 18 of it back because I quit doing the program. I am a carb addict. Even on WW I chose all the points in carbs....no wonder I starved and felt bad!
