BillBlueEyes I remember you from The Beck Diet Solution thread. I never thought you would say dishonesty is okay. No one requires us to attend WW. We can stop anytime we want. But if we don't, then we are expected to follow the rules.

Susan, Bill has a very welcome sense of humor and never intended to encourage dishonesty

Matt, my 71 year old mother is a lifetime member and has been for many years. She is also below her goal weight and her doctor is happy with her weight. She's a very loyal member and never misses a week. It's basically her social life, but she also takes it seriously. Her leader doesn't make her weigh in anymore. I don't know what the rules state but it's very comforting to know that her leader understands what is in her best interest. I don't know what to suggest for you, but I hope it ends - or continues - just as well

Setting a goal weight that is more than 2 pounds from where you want to maintain is giving yourself license to gain and gaining more than 2 pounds can set you on the road to big time gains. Maintenance means keeping the status quo, not changing.

Yes, it is the weigh in on the 6th week where you have to be within 2 pounds. However, once that I get lifetime membership I am free to keep losing without changing my goal weight.
