Joining Weigh****chers...Advice?
I know there are some folks out there that have joined and are using the new points plus system. I am joining today and would like some info if you have it on how you like it, how you're doing with it, etc. ANY advice is appreciated!
I have gained back about 15 lbs and want to get a grip before its more. I have increased my exercise but i need that "accountability" of a weigh in, i think, to push me the rest of the way and get me to QUIT GRAZING.
Do they still do the lifetime free membership after you get to your weight? Since im such a tightwad with my cash, that motivation will also help keep me on track. :)

Hey if you need WW than so be it. Good for you. My friend just dropped out of WW because of the new changes and the diet wasn't working for her.
Yes they still have lifetime free membership
Good luck in what ever you decide. Lots of people who have had WLS go to WW, Jenny Craig, Medical Weight loss clinics.
Lifestyle change, exercise. If you do WW you will have to stay on WW diet or you will gain all your weight back. So if you can eat this way for the rest of your life, then yeah....you founds something that works for you.
I hired an Eating Coach, it works for me. Why? Because diets don't work, once you are off the diet...bam...the pounds come back on along with their little buddies.
So sounds like you have thought about it, motivation for you is paying to get weighed and since you have to pay you will stay on the WW plan.
I do know that the new plan is you can eat all the fruits and veggies with no points. Hell, I could eat 2,000 calories alone in fruit so I know this wouldn't work for me. Good luck! Hugs Debbie

I just joined the new WW points sytem as well and feel motivated like I havent been in a long time. They now let you have all the fruit you want which is nice. Also as someone already anwered, yes you are free after you make lifetime membership. Accountability is a huge motivator. Good Luck!!
