Smile Hi, New here

Hi Everyone,

Please wish me luck .
18 years ago after my first daughter was born I started WW diet (first time in my life) and lost 70 pounds. I was very lucky to keep the weight off until recently. I was even lucky enough to keep and maintain my weight during my next two pregnancies. (we have 3 amazing children).
2 years ago after a crisis in the family I walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, the kitchen cabinets and unfortunately my mouth as well.
From sexy- happy- 144 pound woman I became a heavy 171 pound sad woman. I did not know how to stop the madness.
I can’t fit into my clothes. I can’t buy my Jeans at the juniors dept anymore (unless if I’ll buy size 13). It took me a long time until I was able to decide to go back to normal eating. To go back on track. To put myself on a diet again. I know it’s not going to be easy but I must do it. For myself. I don’t like looking at myself at the mirror anymore. After so many years of being a proud lifetime member at WW, I did horrible thing to myself, my body, my health. finally I decided to go back on the WW program but not attend the meetings yet. I feel so embarrassed. most likely after I’ll lose the first 10 pounds I would feel more confident to attend a meeting.
I am counting calories and points since Sunday and determine to be successful (B/T/W – Is there any food diary here? How do you keep track of what you eat?). unfortunately I can’t exercise too much, I have 2 dislocated discs in the lower back but I am trying to walk as much as I can.

Hello Mrs2na!! Welcome and congrats on deciding to change your ways!! I don't know about food diaries, but there is a WW section here:

http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/weight-watchers-18/

There is so much helpful info all over this board that it can be overwhelming, but just take your time and find what you like. We have an Accountability/Chat thread going for 40-somethings if you would like to chime in there. It has been kind of slow for a while, but I'm sure once the holidays are over it will pick up.

Glad you are here!

Default Hi There new also

I ve been lurking around since November, seems like a great site. I just stumbled upon it. I have been making small changes, taking the stairs at work, I have to get my eating under control. I think WW is a great plan it does work.
So many obstacles Holidays is a big one it is all about the food!

Hello All..I'm new here also.....Trying to lose the last ten lbs but my goal is to be healthier and make eating healthier a lifestyle, not a struggle which it now is. Low carbing is the only thing that has worked for me in the past but I feel Atkins does not give me enough carbs for the heavy workout schedule that I have...so I'm thinking of starting Atkins at the Owl stage which I believe is 30 net carbs. Not sure what I should be doing at this point,, I'm still trying to figure out HOW I'm going to do this. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
