Oprah 12.0?

Once again, Ms O. is celebrating her latest weight loss *victory*. Really, it's her life and she can be a fool/stooge of the diet industry if she so desires. However, from reading the comments, there's not a great deal of celebrating by the general public. It would so great if she used her influence as a positive side of being healthy instead of being the world's most public yo-yo. And yes, she does have influence; I've read some of her book club recommendations.

IMO, at least she is touting a somewhat sensible weight-loss plan. This one counsels healthy eating instead of horrible deprivation or the exclusion of an entire food group.

Maybe. I did WW centuries ago. I have no idea what it's like now.

$. I am sure she earned $250,000 per pound (at least). If only she donated it to obesity education, preventing bullying of the overweight, or teaching healthy attitudes about weight differences among teenagers.

WW does work for some people and it is a healthy way of eating. I never lost much on that plan but I stayed the same and I felt great. I say good for her.

I hope she finds her answer. But the message I always got was that if a BILLIONAIRE who can hire the best chefs/trainers/have a complete gym can't keep the pounds off, it is hopeless. I always thought of her as an effective ad for WLS.
