The first time (around 2012) I lost about 60lbs, the second time (2019-20) about 80. All of the weight is back on.


I am doing WW online now and have lost 10 lbs so far in 5 weeks.

Weight Watchers no longer has in person meetings, as the CEO is taking it in a new direction

I personally haven't had success there, but others have. Weight Watchers has in-person meetings; Ideal Protein you can meet in person with your coach or whatever they're called.

This place is terrible. They recommend a 900 calorie diet. It's not realistic.


I had the same experience.

they prescribe medication and a 900 cal/day diet. If you are just looking to get a prescription then this place is great, but if like me, your insurance won't cover monjaro/medication this place is useless.

If I could follow a 900 cal/day diet I wouldn't be in the situation I am in.


yup I went to one in Fairfax-I have 15 pounds and they came in with ozempic and a 900 calorie diet plan that I could have found myself online. What happens if you take ozempic/wegoovy lose the weight and then stop taking it....this is my fear.

I’ve lost and gained back weight on every plan you can name. Ideal To rite in was extreme but worked. I went from a size 12 to a size 4. Five years later I’m a size 14 and nothing I do works. I think it fried my metabolism or something. Next stop, Ozempic.

I think I need a supported diet program if I’m ever going to lose weight. I think I need an in-person program, not an app. Any suggestions? My doctor suggested the weight loss program at the local health center. Do you have any other suggestions? Arlington or Alexandria preferred, but will travel for a good program. Thank you for any advice.
