The Key to Weight Maintenance

Why Does Weight Watchers® Offer Lifetime Membership?

Simple: They Know the Key to Weight Maintenance.

Just about everyone has heard of Weight Watchers. The organization began in the early 60s as a group of overweight women who met once a week to offer support and guidance to each other.

Meetings are held each week for weigh-in and support. Awards of accomplishments are given at various milestones and when your goal is reached.

Once you reach your goal you enter the maintenance stage of the Weight Watchers. After maintaining for 6 weeks you become a Lifetime Member!

What is a lifetime member?

To become a Lifetime Member you must

1. Be at a healthy weight as determined by Weight Watchers guidelines
2. Weight at least 5 pounds less than your initial weigh
3. Maintain your weight loss for 6 consecutive weeks as a current, paid Meeting member
4. Be no more than 2 pounds above your weight goal at the end of the 6 week maintenance

A Lifetime Member does not have to pay membership fees as long as they weigh in once a month and are not more than 2 pounds above their goal weight.

What is the Key to Weight Maintenance?

The number one key to Weight Maintenance is to have a set point that you refuse to go over.

Too often we go on a weight loss program – Meet our goal – And then have a FALSE sense of security about our weight and forget all about tracking our weight.

After a couple months our clothes fit tighter and we are forced to go into a larger size. We think – that’s ok, I’m still not as big as I used to be.

Before you know it – You’re just as heavy if not heavier than you were before your weight loss program.

You don’t need to be on Weight Watchers or be their lifetime member to take advantage of the number one key to Weight Maintenance.

Great! You’ve met your goal. You need to know your weight will fluctuate. Decide upon an Alarm Trigger – be it 5 pounds or 10 pounds – or squeezing into your clothes ….

Once the alarm goes off TAKE ACTION.

You need to count calories, points, carbs – cut out sweets – exercise more – whatever it is that you did in the first place to lose weight. You should easily get back to your target goal weight within 2 to 4 weeks.
