Default Need some support!!!!

Hi... I was googling weight watchers and found this website. It looks pretty informative and I need to loose about 40 lbs. Would really like some support because I can't get motivated. I checked out a few posters on here and you all seem to be on the right track..can I get on board!!!!? THANKS!

I just joined last week and I'm finding it fun, addictive and motivational. Simply going through people's pictures, weight changes and progress pictures is enough to make you wanna push forward

It's really true.

Posting here also makes you feel accountable--it's a way of affirming, "Yes, I am working hard to lose weight and that's part of who I am and there's all these other people working hard at the same thing and encouraging each other."


But you have to find the motivation in yourself. For me, it was realizing that I didn't want to try because I was scared I'd try and fail and then I'd know I was stuck being fat forever. If that sounds like you, have a look at the before and after pictures in the Goal section. Wow!

Hey there!

I'm so glad you found us!

One of my favorite sayings is in my signature...it isn't ABOUT motivation...this is about COMMITMENT. Once you make the decision...the firm, unchanging decision...to do this, that commitment will carry you through even when your motivation comes and goes.

Anyway, look around. We have groups by age range, eating plan, amount to lose...so find a spot or several, and settle in.

Can't wait to get to know you better!
