    Not the fault of WW that though! You can't blame a diet cos you regain the weight. Any diet works if we stick to it I lost on WW and regained because I went back to my old habits. Can't blame WW for that it was my own fault

    Not a chance a company the size of WW can with stand one programme. Bet it makes not one iota of difference to them
