I don't have the money to pay for the program.


By preparing your own food from wholesome, nutritious ingredients
instead of buy pre-packaged, processed stuff, you should be able to
save enough money to pay for WW and then some. Our grocery bill has
gone down substantially.



Everyone has their priorities, eh? I think it is interesting that folks are
willing to comment on my statrting position in order to determine the
relative priority of payng for WW! So how about I share.

I never buy prepackaged foods. I have not in years. It really is NOT cheaper
often to eat fresh produce a lot. A meal for hte family of tuna, egg noodle
and cream of mushroom soup is CHEAP. Be that as it may, I am a very frugal
grocery shopper. I freezer cook when things are on sale. I have a choice of
2 grocery stores and a warehouse store that I can get bargains from within
an easy driving radios. ($!.66 for boneless chicken breast!)

We are a single income family of 4. I home school the kids. My husband has a
good but modest job. As a result of some uforseen bills, dental that was
not covered, auto repairs... we are behind on about every bill you can dream
of. I am hesitant to cancel my gym membereship (our one ... extravagance)
because I know I will not work out at home.

I am not overweigth. There is no particular risk of angioplasti here. I am a
40yo, 5'8" woman at 145. I excercise pretty hard 3-5 days per week.

I am returning to WW way of doing things having slowly stopped eating
proeprly. I have a very small amount of weight to lose, but if healthy
eating is a lifestlyle and not a yo-yo diet, then I need to recalibrate
myself and get back in the right mindset.

So... I am not criticizing anyone who does wish to pay for WW. I think that
is great. When I first started, that is what I did as well. It worked great
for me. If you do not wish to share what could be considered proprietary
information, I completely respect you in that choice.

I am not trying to be critical or get up in anyone's face. Just thouguth I
woudl attempt to respond as politely as I could! (Which is hard for me since
I have a mouth on me!)
