Read their amazing stories.
Alexandra
For 10 years Alexandra gained and lost weight. It was all or nothing. She would work out every night, eat strictly, become bitter and then give up. She’d just about accepted she would be forever overweight, when she discovered Weight Watchers.
Alycia
Alycia made a commitment to lose weight and adopt a healthy lifestyle. When she later battled — and overcame — cancer, this decision proved to be a critical one.
Arlene
Arlene had friends who dieted in college, but never really had to worry about her own weight. Those days ended when she got married and moved away from her family in Michigan to live in Georgia. She had no idea that an extra 20 pounds that first year would turn into 40, 50 and even 100 pounds over the next 27 years.
Catherine
With the help of both friends and Weight Watchers meetings, Catherine had a team of support to keep her motivated and on track.
Sarah
Sarah was hesitant to join Weight Watchers meetings in June of 2008. Advice from her mother—a Lifetime member—helped her get started, even though she had to get through a weekend vacation in her first week on Plan.
Heather
As a 29-year-old mother of two Heather was the heaviest she’d ever been. During college she’d packed on 30 pounds and then continued to add 20 to 30 pounds each year after graduation. After the birth of her second child, the scale read 227 pounds. She worked as a nurse on the night shift and blamed her hectic schedule for her progressive weight-gain, never really owning that it wasn’t her schedule that was the culprit.
