My name is Monica and I just joined Weight watchers 2 days ago. I'm looking for a buddy around my age in the Springfield VA/ DC area that's looking to lose 50-60 pounds like me. In my spare time I like reading, taking dance classes and I'm a full time Physical Threapy student at Nova. So far it's okay even though I'm craving pizza like crazy right now. I'm looking foward to getting to know all of you as we work to reach our goals

Hi Monica! Nice to meet you! Come on over to the weekly thread ('Chick chat') and join in the fun

I'm on WW too (in the UK) and I'm doing it online rather than go to the meetings. The points things is a pain at first, but over the weeks you get used to the portion sizes and you need to do less measuring. I've been going about 6 weeks now and already the 'new' portion sizes seem normal to me.

Come over and meet the girls!

Welcome and good luck

Welcome and good luck! I am on maintence right now due to a happy surprise pregnancy, but i am still excersicing, and counting points. Gotta concentrate on healthy eatting. I hope you find someone near you, I am west in NV.
