I joined back in December cause I was one of the people who said they were going to lose weight the next year, well I chickened out and didnt start. Well now I am fed up with being overweight and I am going to do something about it.

I have been overweight my entire life. WOO HOO!! It runs in my family, and well I am tired of it. In middle school my dad and I started weight watchers I lost 40 lbs and then we stopped going. Since then I have gained all of that back plus 30 pounds so I am on a mission to loose 80lbs, by the time my husband gets back from Iraq next Jan. The only thing that will set me back is getting pregnant, which we are trying to do. If it does happen then at least I will be on track of eating healthy and keeping exercising in my daily routine.

So my plan is to do the core weight watchers plan, I am not going to the meetings or even doing it online. I am just doing it on my own. I know its hard but I am determined to get to my ideal weight again. I found the list online of the foods I can have, and I am going to try my best.

Sorry it was so long but I sorta need to get if off my chest. Thanks a bunch.

Hiya!

There's a WW section, specifically a Core area, that you should check out for information and support. Ask questions when you need to!

Best of success!

I started counting points and journaling about 6 weeks ago, and have lost 13 pounds since. It can be done!! I am not attending meetings, but am accountable to the threads here, to people at work, and to my professional peers. My word for the year is "honesty" and I am learning to be honest with myself. Sharing your journey here can help to keep you accountable and honest. Good luck to you on your journey! Bethz
