Re: Sorry for getting all unfunnybusiness...
I was doing WW for a while at the beginning of the year, but after watching a friend go CrazyOverboardMental to the point where I am now scared for her health on their program and getting kind of frustrated in general with their focus on fake sugars, I quit a few months ago. I'm not big, just a healthy average size, but I'm body dysmorphic and I felt like WW was kind of feeding into that and making me worse. There are some good things about it, but I was ultimately uncomfortable with how it kind of insinuated when I wanted to lose, say, 5-10 pounds that I should probably lose about 20. (BTW, I shouldn't. I've been that weight before and my face starts to get all skeletal and unpleasant.)
So long story short, best of luck, but try to pick and choose which parts you pay attention to!
