Technically, I'm not "new"...........I realized when I signed in that I actually signed up about 2 1/2 years ago. At that time, I decided that i HAD to lose quite a bit of weight and decided I could do it on my own, even though that has never worked that well for me. I lost about 25 pounts but gained it all back and mostly just gave up. Then for the next two years, I periodically decided that I HAD to lose weight and would diet half-heartedly for a few weeks. I have quite a bit of weight to lose, ideally I could lose probably 90 lbs, but would be very happy with 75. About a month ago, I joined Weight Watchers and it's been a mostly good experience. I like attending meetings and encourage and be encouraged by people who have the same struggles as me. I have been consistantly able to stay within my food point allotment, but I have only met my activity goal for one week. I've lost 8 pounds so far and did pretty good at a Father's Day cook-out yesterday. I just know that I always start out all gung-ho, but as time goes on it gets a bit harder for me so I'm just looking for some support, Plus, I really enjoy reading others' success stories.
