I missed the hype, but Oprah has gone down and back up over the years... 

It's a last ditch effort to keep WWs alive....using celebrities to draw the masses. Most of these people have either yo yoed throughout the years and continue to do so or they loose the weight and then pile the weight back on and it stays. Most if not all the people who I know who have tried WWs have not had any success with it INCLUDING myself. They don't teach you or give you the tools to get rid of the JUNK in your diet. Allowing you to eat a junky diet so long as you are within your points is POINTLESS.  

I think the yo-yo ing speaks for itself...I have no room to speak, as I have gained and lost probably 300 pounds in my lifetime...ridiculous...but the last 20+ years have probably been the sanest, trying to eat intuitively and NOT dieting, which resulted in slow and steady losses. Even now, my progress is slow, but its in the right direction. Doesn't she have stock or partially own WW? 

Thanks for your input on WW. I joined in 1964 I think....guess I'm a slow loser!!!! I was doing some 'investigating' (I love the internet) and it appears they have changed the way one counts points so that if one goes with low fat protein and low saturated fats, you can eat more 'points' than if you choose foods high in carbs. Hmmmmm.....I'm thinking WW is going in the direction of Atkins/South Beach. Holy crap, now I'm really annoyed. The commercial with Oprah was just on and she's been on WW now for about a year and she just said "not one day did I feel deprived". Sorry, I'm not buying it!!!! I'm just old and tired of making decisions on what healthy meals I should eat. Wish dh had gotten me a chef for Christmas! I'm babbling.....uh-oh.....must be the meds kicking in....nightie nite 

THE ONLY WAY I HAVE LOST WEIGHT AND KELP IT OFF WAS TO EAT A HEALTHY WELL BALANCE DIET. THEN MY HUSBAND LEFT ME BECAUSE I WAS SICK. I JUST GAVE UP AND WAS EATING WAY TOO MUCH. NOW IT'S TIME TO TAKE CARE OF MYSELF. THANKS FOR BEING HERE FRIENDS.  

A chef for Christmas...now that WOULD be awesome, lol! 

Of course she is going to claim success. She owns part of the company. 

lol I agree with both comments... Rckc and E....
