Hi everyone!!
I've been trying to lose weight for a while. I started on 136kgs (299lbs I think) and so far I've lost 10 kg (22lbs). I'm hoping to get down to a healthy weight. So far losing weight hasn't been easy but I'm getting used to it. I started out counting calories but it didn't seem to work out for me so I went with Weight Watchers, which so far is good. I've also been exercising and hope to get a lot fitter. Getting fitter was what inspired me to lose weight. I was sick of the aches and pains of being so heavy.
I can't wait to meet others trying to lose weight.

Hello. I'm on weight watchers too! I was traveling two weeks this month and didn't track at all while on vacation, but as soon as I returned I went back to tracking. I've lost almost 25 pounds so far. I started around new year's. I too used to calorie count a lot but finally admitted that wasn't working. So far I really like the WW program and it works for me.

VIOLET ~ glad you joined us here; we have an active WW forum here where you can get some support. This is a big place though; take a look around and just jump right in wherever you like ...

BTW, congrats on losing the first 22 lbs; that's a great start ...

Thankyou both for the welcome and the congrats.
I've had a look around the site and have noticed it is a big place. I checked out the weight watchers forum.

Hello!
I read some of your other posts and saw in your signature that your goal weight is 65 pounds and now I came here to tell you that I think it is an unheathy goal. But now I see that you're using the metric system and that it's actually pretty normal!
Hope you're doing ok!

Hello Violet
I'm an aussie and love cats too, though one in the house is enough. Its awkward this pounds/kgs thing isn't it.

Anyway we have to make an effort if we want to be understood i guess.

Goodluck with your program.

We use the metric system too - I just figured that most of the people on the forum are from USA! Anyway, I prefer the metric system, because having 90kg seems a lot less than 200pounds!
