Facing down a 17 lb. weight gain in just one summer last year, Oprah Winfrey got a call from Weight Watchers at the perfect time.

“I was really at my wits end,” she revealed in a private Q&A session for Weight Watchers members Wednesday night. “I had tried everything.”

Which is why she’s fully embracing Weight Watchers, and the mindset that this is not a diet.

“Every other time I’ve ever gone on a diet, I’ve gone on a diet and then gone off the diet, because I had gotten to the weight I’d wanted to be,” Winfrey says. “The difference is, I’ve made the shift and this is the way I’m going to live for the rest of my life.”
