Filmmaker Kevin Smith started WW after he suffered a near-fatal heart attack in 2018. Since his heart attack, he's lost more than 50 pounds, much of that with WW (he started with the company when it was still known as Weight Watchers).
In an Instagram post from August 2018, Kevin revealed that after his heart attack, his doctor told him to lose 50 pounds. Six months later, he lost 51 pounds (and plans on losing another 10!) with WW. He also thanked WW for the "app-based program that made it easy to keep track of and control my eating!" Kevin now eats a plant-based diet and uses his platform with WW to promote heart health and heart disease prevention.
