Suzanne--me too--everyone thought I was crazy for doing 52 weeks but I know me and I know the hardest part will happen AFTER the WL portion. I NEED to be accountable and I hope that the new habits and lifestyle will be fully ingrained in that year.
Boo'smom:
I paid 52 weeks of maintenance too,for the same reasons, I know me, and if I let it go, after lose all the weight,I know that is a big possibility of going back to the old habits, I need to learn how to keep the weight off, so in a way I don't regret that I bought that 52 weeks.
I too received my weeks of weight loss (34), 6 weeks of stabilization and 52 weeks of maintenance. I didn't even know I would have had the option of not getting everything at once!
I like having to pay for it though, because I'm like everybody else here. I NEED that accountability. I've tried WW before, and didn't stick. Now that I have all my weeks paid for, I go at least 2x/week to make sure I'm getting my money's worth.
My center hasn't run any specials since then though. Hopefully they will with the LA Lites. I only bought a few boxes up front of those, and will have to buy more eventually.
