Oprah Winfrey, the new part-owner of Weight Watchers is determined to make a permanent lifestyle change.
In October, we reported that Winfrey purchased a 10 percent stake in the company for $43.2 million, which led Weight Watcher's stock to jump 75 percent that day.
The former talk show host says she's tried diets over and over again, only to get frustrated with them and fail.
"I was fed up with my lose-and-gain-again routine," Winfrey says. "I'd had enough of no-carb regimens. Some people can live without bread and pasta, but it just doesn't make sense to me. All the times I tried to do so only made me crave them more."
Which is why Weight Watchers was the perfect fit for the lifestyle guru. She wanted a plan for life, and here it was in the form of Weight Watchers; according to her, Wait Watchers is not a diet but a whole shift in perspective.
Winfrey proved that the program really works – by trying it herself. She showed up for an appearance on Stephen Colbert's The Late Show at the end of October looking visibly slimmer, and later revealed on Ellen that she had dropped 15 lbs. since Aug. 12.
