I've been on WW for about a month THIS TIME. In the past, I've been on it and lost, but gain back.... however, (IMPORTANT) the reason the weight comes back on is because I quit eating healthily. My portion sizes increase, my activity level decreases, and my choices are not so healthy. As everyone has said, it's a lifestyle change and ... if you do what you've always done, you get what you've always got.
WW is one of the few programs that you can literally be on the rest of your life. Doctors recommend it. But it basically is common sense: less calories, less fat, more exercise. Going to the meetings helps as 70% of the people who do attend regularly will lose and will keep it off. The other 30% are probably just not into the program. At my meeting, they sell WW snacks and one woman will consume 3 or 4 packages at a meeting, and probably snacks constantly at home, but wonders why she doesn't lose.
It's all about motivation and self-discipline, no matter what path you choose.
