I did it!! This is a big leap of faith. I have been paying for WW Online for several years now.... hoping it would inspire me to adhere to the program.... forever hopeful.
I am now confident that WW is not going to work for me, and 5:2 is the way to go. I have had more success with 5:2 in 6 weeks and (to me it) is such an easy/natural WOE that I really can see myself in it for the long haul.

You go, girl!

WW gave me a goal weight of 10.10 which I stuck to for many years. Thanks to this WOL I'm now 9.2 and have never felt fitter.

Long haul, indeed. I shall stay on this until I fall off my perch - hopefully, not for a while yet!

Why don't you put the money you'll save aside and treat yourself to something nice, sometime?

Thanks Breadandwine.. I think I will do just that.. put my savings aside for something nice. Thanks for the support!!

I did exactly the same this week too! Liberating!

Looked at my WW progress and I'd been gaining and losing the same 2lbs since November. Now 5lb below that with ease

Well done Becky and Doodle - think of that money you'll save - I think that 'something nice' you're going to treat yourself to should be 'something' in the next size down Congratulations - keep it up

That's brilliant. Fantastic. Definitely put the money aside. Just think of the new clothes you will be able to buy!! I did ww a couple of years ago & you end up in the mind set that if you exercise you can eat more. As a result I've gained almost a stone thinking it's alright to eat the calories earned training for a half marathon! Wish I'd found this plan before x

Well done Becky and Doodle! I rejoined WW online recently, and am in the three month free period, but I am going to cancel it before I have to pay anything. I've done WW before more than once with varying degrees of success, but I'm already finding 5:2 easier to stick to

Well done my dear, that's fantastic! Hopefully a lot more folks who have been losing money through these paid slimming schemes will find this topic and take the same leap of faith, 5:2 is so simple and all the better for being free

How nice to be saving up for a lovely treat too - if it was me it would probably be jewellery as I intend to get somewhat smaller yet - so no major wardrobe revamps for another 6 months or so!

Excellent, Becky good for you
I have also done SW/WW and found myself gaining and losing the same couple of pounds for months and paying for the privilege!
I agree 5:2 is far more sustainable, welcome to a whole new WOL xx

Thought I'd update - now 2lb below WW goal and aiming lower. Keep getting emails and real mail from WW asking me if I'd like to renew my membership! No thanks!!

Well done Becky and Doodle - think of that money you'll save - I think that 'something nice' you're going to treat yourself to should be 'something' in the next size down Congratulations - keep it up

I agree make sure to look after yourselves, and congratulation for taking that leap to trust in yourselves

Well done, isnt it a great feeling!! Lots of us have been on that treadmill, this WOE is SO much better and easier, and free!

How about treating yourself to a facial, or something else that pampering and rewarding, you desrve it
