5. I'm not worrying about it anymore.

I'm following portion control and am active just about everyday. I'm aware that I need to have portion control, but I am not going to be a slave to the scale. I was that way a long time ago, and it is no way to live. I weigh myself before I go to a meeting so I know whereabouts I'm going to fall on their scale. Right now my weight is trending a little low, so I'm eating a little more.

I'm sorry that your WW experience was so bad in terms of judgmental staff. I've not run into that. (Annoying leaders and sometimes annoying members, yes, but not scolding ones.)

WW **is** pricy. When I bought the Monthly Pass, it was about $40 a month. When you reach Lifetime, that is waived. Now they've introduced some contraption that tracks your daily activity and designs a movement program for you. That is $39.95 out of the gate, with a $5 monthly fee. I find that kind of outrageous, myself, when you can basically do the same thing for yourself for free, with a good exercise program and pencil and paper. But I know there are some people who think they need such things (see them in the meetings all the time), so of course WW is willing to oblige the demand.
