I was 28 years old when I lost, and I also followed the plan perfectly. I exercised every day and never - literally, not once - did I exceed my points target. Between February 8, 2005, and July, 2005, I dropped 55 pounds. I think my average was 2.2 pounds per week. When I started maintenance, I slowed to about a pound a week. By September, I had lost another ten pounds. I felt great. Never once did I receive anything from Weight Watchers that said I wasn't doing it "right," nor did my leader ever express anything but congratulations. <BR/><BR/>I also applied to be a success story - I haven't heard back, but it should be interesting to hear if I get the same denial that you do.<BR/><BR/>The US GDT suggested that you pimp your story out to another magazine as a success story. I wholeheartedly agree. Lots of publications look for weight losses like yours to feature. <BR/><BR/>And here's my advice: Tell them that you lost it by following a balanced, reduced calorie, lower-fat diet; by exercising; by regularly monitoring your loss; and by celebrating your successes with others. If Weight Watchers does not feature you, fine....but you won't feature them either. They will have lost an excellent free publicity opportunity.The Narratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11291206130521725761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36407341.post-4828311738075564992007-07-01T09:29:00.000-07:002007-07-01T09:29:00.000-07:00Just happened onto your blog!

So it happened faster for you - the point is that you did it and you're healthy. Wow. This is nuts!!!!!!!!!!! Good for you for the amazing attitude - if it were me I'd be a mess.

I would like to tell you that this world is not idealistic and plenty of time is unfair. Right now it's unfair to you (from your point of you). But please do not lose a bigger picture when struggling with WW ideology and rules. There are millions of people in the world dying of poverty, hunger, disease and war every single day! How fair it is for them? Did they deserve it? When fighting my daily struggles for justice in Canada, I often do think of them.<BR/><BR/>I also think about was Meryl Streep said about fame. One day you are on the cover of a magazine and next day everyone is stepping on your face in subway.<BR/><BR/>What matters more is how you touched hearts of the other people and how much you motivated them.<BR/>Thanks for being such an inspiration.<BR/>SylviaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36407341.post-69558562006333030942007-06-29T07:28:00.000-07:002007-06-29T07:28:00.000-07:00Shrunk - I am so sorry to hear that your story was...Shrunk - I am so sorry to hear that your story was denied.
