I have seen this site on WW and loved the little graphic you can include that includes weight loss results, so I checked it out and explored. I hope to make some new friends, since misery loves company and having a support network always helps when beginning a long, difficult journey.

I have been on many diets, without much success. I know that the key factor in my failure has been me and my lack of willpower to stick to it. I hate depriving myself. Now I am on WW again. This time I have my 17 year old daughter as a weight loss partner, as well as one of my best friends (we work together as elementary school teachers). At work, my friend and I are in a competition similar to "The Biggest Loser", which ends on Nov. 30. This has also been a motivating factor, as I tend to be competitive.

Anyway, I hope to make some friends, share some successes, and have a few laughs (I love to laugh)!

Hey gspumpkin so glad you joined! Jump right into any area(s) that you feel comfortable with!

Hiya GSpumpkin - Welcome!

Mmmm - your screen name makes me want pumpkin. Such a great season for it.

ANYWAY...the key for me was deciding I wasn't going to go on a "diet" - I was going to change my lifestyle. Diets you can go on and off of, but if you change your lifestyle, you never "go off" - you just keep going with your healthy ways.

We have some great WW forums here, so do check those out. Can't wait to hear more from you soon!
