I used to have a buddy that would rubber band on weight watchers.

He’d do it for a while, lose an astounding amount of weight, stop, gain every pound back.

I have no idea if he’s still doing this but it was like a 2 year cycle. Spend a few months thinking about going back on, decide it was worth the money, get on, do great for 6 months and then get tired of it, or get a craving for something, and that would be the end of it.

Honestly the system would work if it were manageable long term but from what I’ve seen there’s just no preparation for getting off of it. You’ve gotta get to a point where you can handle gaining a few pounds every now and again, and then lose it again and do maintenance until the next event where you’re going to have something bad. WW seems to expect you to stick to their meal plan permanently and that is frankly too fucking restrictive to last.
