Technically, I guess you are right since nobody on this planet can possibly follow the plan to an absolute T without ever messing up even by accident. BUT...according to the contract (at least the old one I signed), if you don't get to goal by goal date and YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THE PLAN EXACTLY you can come for as long as it takes for no additional weekly charges (you still "have to" purchase bars). The trick is of course that you have to be absolutely exact...come in 3 times a week every week, never sample your kids b-day cake, or in my case, never lick cheetos dust off your fingers
. I guess it is possible if your center is leinient or you are obsessive compulsive but in the real world, nobody can be that exact. I'm just glad everyone is still doing well.
I started back at WW with a very defeated attitude. It didn't work before, LAWL didn't work, I'm a failure ...yadayadayada. BUT so far so good at WW. I've been there 9 weeks and have lost 16 pounds (ALMOST the 2 pounds a week LAWL promised) and I get to actually HAVE bananas, raisins, carrots, canned food, FUDGE!!!, wine, anything on the planet I want... as long as I count it. I am still dredding the "plateau"...after all I hit the wall at 20 pounds with WW AND with LAWL, but hopefilly, now that my hormones are settled back down to normal (Abby is now 3!!!) I may be OK (I hope, I hope, I hope).
BTW...here is a freaky thing...I read in a mag that SOY can SLOW your metabolism!!!!!! Being a natural estrogen and all, it can do weird things to your hormones, your fertillity and your metabolism. I don't know about that. Soy still seem so have such a great rep. But YIKES.... wouldn't THAT explain "the wall"????? Now I'm scared to eat the dern bars.
Keep the faith...we are all aiming at the same target.
