So, here's something I haven't seen discussed. ALR likes to sign up for these stupid weight loss programs, only to abandon them after a day or two. Let's break this down.
Noom: Paid for a one-year subscription. The Noom site somehow values this at $750, but has a special that's "only" $199 billed annually. Let's call it $200.
Jenny Craig: Paid for a two-year subscription. Based on what I've found online, it costs around $100 to sign up, plus $20/month thereafter, plus food, which runs about $150 a week. They might waive the sign-up fee if you commit to the full 24 months, I don't know. But if they didn't, that's $580, plus at least one week of food she's already bought, so that's $630.
(Whether she paid that all upfront or it's in monthly installments for the next two years, that's a stupid amount of money to blow when she could have done the 12 week trial of the program for much less to see if it worked for her. Just sayin'. But we know she wasn't really interested in trying out the program or even losing weight. She gets her kicks from spending money.)
Weight Watchers: I'm guessing she's doing their "online plus" program. That's a $20 sign up fee, plus $20/month if she commits to a six-month program, with an autorenew. She signed up ages ago, so I won't count the sign up fee here. Still $240/year to keep the program going.
I'm guessing she's never bothered to cancel her MyFitnessPal, and we know she went for the premium version, so that's another $50 a year.
So in the last year or so, she's spent roughly $1120 on weight loss schemes she has no intention of actually following through on.
(I'm not including the Apple Watches, the Hello Fresh, the Optavia, the gym memberships, the actual doctors, etc. because if I tried to hunt down all the money she's wasted on this shit in her lifetime, I'd be here all day. Just the last year is bad enough.)
I guess, much like her Torrid hauls, she makes more money on the videos talking about these purchases than what she actually spends on them. That's the only explanation. Sure, WW costs her $240/year, but if she does two or three videos talking about it, it pays for itself and gives her enough for several meals she'll actually eat with maybe a few bucks left over to put towards rent.
Or it did, at least. Her views are down, her fans are fucking over it, and this scheme could only ever have lasted so long. Slightly unpopular opinion, but I really want her channel to die. I know we'd all miss having her to laugh at, but she's not exactly providing the laughs these days anyway, so my distaste of the grift is outweighing my amusement at the failure these days.
