    You'll lose it again and this time it will stay off. Just remember that about 80% of your ability to reduce excess body fat is determined by what you eat, with the other 20% related to exercise and other healthy lifestyle habits such as sleep and stress reduction.

    You have a friend here! :)

    so what did they change that made you regain all the weight? WW (IMHO) is an unsustainable program for many people because they (WW) would go out of a business if people could lose the weight and keep it off, so they like return customers

    weight loss comes down to CICO (calories in, calories out) - there is no magical formula, its a simple math equation - if you eat less than you burn, then you will lose weight

    They changed all the points around and even though I was still calculating it I couldn't keep it off, the points were all changed around so if something was 2 points on the old system it was 4 in new system. I'm not the only one that gained with new program. Plus they wouldn't help me no matter how much I asked so I gave up paying for them to do nothing

    so what do you struggle with the most?

    what is your daily calorie goal?
