  • Hey all!! I'm Julie and I'm a newbie to this site from IL.
    I'm new to this site, but not new to dieting. I've done everything from Slim Fast, to pills, to WW, to My Fitness Pal, to Spark People. I didn't have great success with counting calories, so I'm back to WW (old program worked best for me, so I'm going back to that LOL).


  • Thanks so much!
  • I think we can all relate!
    Welcome, I'm new as well, getting my feet wet reading other posts, good luck on your journey, you can do it!!!
  • Welcome! Counting calories worked for me for the first 20 but now I have stalled. Curious about WW. Hope it works for you!
  • Welcome to 3FC from a fellow WWer and IL'ian!

    Glad you are on here and looking forward to your success with WW on here.
  • Hi. I'm new, too
    Your story sound a lot like mine. I've tried WW, slim-fast (lost a lot - but I was exercising like crazy), and counting calories. No pills. WW worked for me once, but the latest program just didn't, so I'm counting calories, which works when I actually do it. Good luck.

    I did IP for a couple of months last year....I now do low carb on my own after the expense was getting too much for my budget. But I loved it while on it, did really good.
