Default Looking for a buddy or a few

Are there any daily check in threads? I have been stumbling with weight watchers the last month. I know why it is not working so great I keep cheating. I could really use a friend or two for some support. Anyone else feel lost without support? I tried the Weight watchers forums and they were just confusing.

Nikki, I just re-started WW but from home and am doing the old WW points plan. I am not signed up with WW as I know this plan worked for me years ago and I got fat again the past 3 years and know this plan works. I try to keep sweets that I know the points on hand at home. I love the skinny cow ice cream sandwiches. They are 3 points. Here for you if you need me.

You might want to join in with the Bale of Turtles thread--a WW group on 3FC...or start your own daily check-in thread.

I have been on WW before, lost a bunch, then went "on my own" and gained it back. Did Atkins - liked it but missed bread!

So I rejoined this week. They are offering 30% off for the next three months if you join before August 1st. I like the accountability. If I know I have to step on that scale, then it gives me incentive to stay on track.

The one thing I do not like is the WW forums. After all these year, they are still neanderthal and not user friendly.

Publix has the WW ice cream bars BOGO this week which I plan on buying. I tend to be a snacker so This will be my night snack if I am good that day!

I would love to have other WWers to lean on too!

I have just started WW again after gaining A TON of weight during recovery from two major back surgeries. I have a long way to go and I would love to find a group of ladies to check in with on a daily basis, not on the WW site. I am doing the personal coaching which is great for accountability, but I have to listen to a lot of WW platitudes.

Hi, I was looking at the new posts & read this thread. Here's a good thread I joined yesterday, check it out.

http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/age-...ml#post5273454

Another thread to see if you use any fitness trackers is:
http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/chic...ml#post5273480

Once upon a time, 8 yrs ago I went through problems & I gained 20# of fat & my weight went up to 170#. I went from wearing my normal size medium clothes to a size extra large at 170#, I changed myself & began eating 1 serving size portions, unless the food was naked veggies which are unlimited & healthy. It took me about 5 months to lose that 20# without dieting, by reading labels & recipes & using a measuring cup. I've maintained weighing 145#-150# wearing a size medium clothes the last 7 1/2 yrs. After you measure your food for about a week, it becomes easy to visually see the serving size portions without measuring everything. Using our common sense & using substitutions for unhealthy cravings people now call Mindful Eating, whatever you decide to name it, we all just want a healthy body to enjoy life

This summer from having a sprained ankle & summer allergies I started eating carelessly & I gained almost 5#. So I'm back here again at 3FC to get motivated & for support to lose those 5# of fat because nobody criticizes us or makes us feel unwanted for our size here.

Good luck to each of you this is a wonderful support website

If you really want to lose weight to get healthier, it Will happen When you screw up, Forgive yourself & Begin again

I began WW on my own at home without signing up on 7/19/16. I am down 9 lbs. as of this morning. I love the plan because you can eat whatever you want, you only have to know how to do the points on it. I do not eat fruit or veggies everyday because I don't like them. It's not going as fast as I hoped for because I am in my 50s now, but at least it's not going up anymore. Best wishes to you all. Emmy

Just joined the group tonight. I've been on weight watchers before and have stopped gaining weight. I have also lost 53 lbs., but it has been over a long period of time. I need to get focused and start losing again. I would also welcome some support.

Hi -- just joined for the millionth time -- I have never been on-line before, so we'll see. I always really liked meetings, even if I didn't lose, I enjoyed the group. I am a little confused with the new program, but hopefully will straighten itself out. Looking forward to the journey -- I'M READY!!!
