That would be nice, but I do not think they will let you do that. At the rate I am going, I may be in the same boat as you end of next year when I get to the end of my contract time. UGH. But this is a business and they are in it for the profit. Profiting from our strugle with weight. I would try to negotiate with them. From what I have heard the Re-start fees are high, so it may be cheaper to stick with it. Try to play cool and let them make you an offer. Kinda like shopping for a car. Do not appear desparate. For we are NOT desparate women. NO NO NO. I will pray that you will come to a solution that is beneficial to you. Please do not give up.  

In my contract, it states that I do not have to pay until I reach my goal weight even if my weeks are up as long as you go every week or how ever many times your contract states. Also, you have to completely do the program, which means that you don't cheat (or you don't write it down...he he) and you should not have to pay for more weeks. Have you been every week or what your contract stated? 

I have seemed to run into this problem too. They told me that it will cost $9 a weeks until I reach my goal. I don't know what I was thinking, but I didn't know the consequences of not reaching my goal. I guess I thought that I could just use some of the other weeks for maintenance and stabilization to use to get to my goal. I've been cheating lately and not really doing my best, but I feel like after I heard that, I've kicked my butt into gear. The last thing I wanna do is give them more money. Readytolose, have you done TO lately? Does that work for you? I know I need to do it SOON. I just cant seem to get myself motivated to starve for 2 days. =( 

At the center I go to they let me keep going while in stablization. I am just a few lbs away from my goal. I keep going up and down but they said i can finish them up in stablization....they say some people reach thier goals while in stablization. i have done the take off with canelope instead of the juice. that is something they offer me because I can not do the juice. Good luck. We can do this. 

I have never done the take off and no one has mentioned it. I haven't seen a plateau yet so I guess I didn't see the need. Maybe I need to ask about that on Wednesday.
