Just curious! If you have reached goal and are a WW maintainer, please raise your hand

Suzanne, I'm a lifetimer who's relosing. Does that count? My hand is halfway up.

I reached Lifetime in 1992. I have a few pounds to get back to my goal weight.

I have my hand halfway up as well. I'm on the way and planning on being a maintainer soon! I can't wait to be able to say I'm a lifetime member at goal. Hopefully in a couple months. I got my lifetime in the 90s as well and kind of gave up on it until I came up with a new years resolution that stuck. Looking forward to hearing from Lifetime maintainers.

Well heck...............I am a lifetime WW member, too, but 4 pounds over goal.

Suzanne, from what I'm seeing here--we need you and 3FC. Thank you for providing us this wonderful spot to meet and help each other.

Made lifetime in 1977 and have maintained pretty much since then. Doing CORE now.

I've been a Lifetime Member for two years and have maintained my weight loss. At present time, I'm under goal weight.

Susan

I made lifetime in 2002, gained back, and just re-lost. This time its for good. No way I'm going through all that again!

Although I usually don't post in the WW forum, tomorrow will be one year as a WW maintainer. I'm 11 pounds below my WW goal.

So you ARE out there We noticed how few members there are in our WW Lifetime/Maintainers forum and it was kind of scary to think there are just 3 or 4 people here that have been successful with WW. Do you think it's helpful to have a dedicated forum for maintaining on WW? Is there some reason why more people don't post there?

I made lifetime 3 years ago but am presently 5# over my goal weight after being 5-10# under my goal most of that time. Thanks, menopause.
I'll have to check out that forum. I guess the posts there never catch my eye.

So, I'm NOT a lifetimer yet, but I have questions about how that works. Do you lose the weight, maintain for a period of time, then you're just considered a lifetimer? And you don't have to pay fees at that point, correct? If you regain the weight and want to lose it again, is membership still free?

You get to your weight watchers goal, or a goal set by your doctor. You maintain for 6 weeks and weigh in at no more than 2 lbs. over your goal. That's achieving lifetime. You need to weigh in once a month at no more than 2 lbs. over your goal and weight watchers is free. If you gain more and need to come back and lose it is a lower rate but not free. That's what I know, also if you're at your goal weight and they change the program materials you are entitled to a free set of the new materials. Probably some things are unique to your meeting.

OK, I'm checking in with my hand half way up as well! I reached my WW goal last week, so according to them I'm now in my 6 weeks of practicing maintenance. The WW goal and MY goal are two different numbers, however! So, half way up as I still have 8 pounds to go to reach my own goal!
