I am a longtime WW member, off and on. I first used it almost 15 years ago to finally get to a healthy weight and maintained that weight loss for years until COVID and multiple pregnancies. After my second baby was born I rejoined through their clinic program. This was when it included compounded semaglutide but I knowingly agreed to continue on when they discontinued that because I wanted to try Zepbound and like the WW tools to track. This is on me but I did not realize the contract would automatically renew for another full year when it expired, because that had never been the policy when I used WW in the past. Well I’m thankfully now pregnant with a planned, wanted baby. I had to submit paperwork to WW verifying the pregnancy and while they canceled the clinic subscription they are insisting I still have to pay for their “core” plan until the contract is up, even though WW says it is not recommended in pregnancy!

This business sucks now. Women have to be the vast majority of their customers, many of using it to lose postpartum weight and get healthier. But now there’s a pregnancy tax if you decide to have a baby before your contract is up! Absolutely insane.

My intensely social 23-month-old is 99% potty trained at home and daycare (we still have an occasional poop accident) but for the life of me I cannot get him to use a toilet anywhere else. Not at a restaurant, not at the park or the mall, not at our best friend’s house. I bribed him once at grandma’s house by letting him watch Elmo while he did it but that was a battle.

The problem seems to be not fear of a strange potty but some kind of FOMO because we also struggle to get him to go at home if we have guests over. I empathize bc I also have huge FOMO but this is annoying. Yesterday we were at our BFF’s house (we have been there at least weekly since he was born and he is extremely comfortable there) and I knew he needed to go. I tried 2x to put him on the potty and he screamed and cried and would only stay if physically restrained. I even convinced my friend’s almost-4 (who my son worships) to show him how it’s done and he still refused. 5 minutes later, an accident.

Anybody else go through this? What worked? Any tips??

We are going on a camping trip with 20+ other people this weekend and I can bring our potty but I’m pretty sure he’ll refuse to use it at all with so much activity and will need to be in pull-ups/diapers the whole time which feels like it will prompt a regression…
