When you reach your final weight goal, you graduate to the last phase of Weight Watchers called Live the Difference. Lifetime Members continue getting group support at weekly meetings as long as they maintain a weight within two pounds of their goal weight. At each week's meeting, members are taught a series of practical skills to help stay on track. These are called Tools for Living. Since the need for behavioral change is key in the Weight Watchers program, the tools help dieters beat personal challenges as well as help to cope with obstacles and stresses in everyday life.
Members are also able to draw help from the experiences of other dieters at the group meetings.
Weight loss is a personal goal that each member seeks individually, but Weight Watchers insists that it is the group support that helps make the goal realized. Always see your doctor before beginning any diet. Copyright 2001 by Channel Cincinnati . All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
