WHAT IS THE CJ PLAN?
For most people, following the regular WW program results in fairly continuous, consistent losses. But for some of us (especially those who exercise a lot), our losses are slow (less than 1/5 lb per week) or the losses come to a complete halt for months at a time. These long plateaus can be frustrating and result in a lack of motivation. For many people, the CJ Plan shakes up their metabolism and gets the scale moving downward again. (Please note: this plan is NOT sanctioned by or affliated with the official WW program.)

OTHER QUESTIONS?
First read all of the information and check the FAQs. If you still have questions, go to the "Close to Goal Board" (click on this link) on the WW site, and post your question. Be patient. It might take a full day to get an answer depending on who is logged in. But someone will respond. (It's helpful to name your thread something like "CJ plan Question".)

CLOSE TO GOAL BOARD?
The "Close to Goal" board used to be called the "Plateaus/A Few to Lose" board. Many of us on the board are not close to goal. So don't worry how close or far you are from your goal. Everyone is welcome.
