Red face Need a WeightWatcher Buddy

I am 38 years old, mother of 3 and live in Birmingham, Alabama and started Weight Watchers today. I would like to have a buddy currently on WW so that we can help motivate each other and support each other when we are not doing so great. I need to lose 60 lbs.

Hi Kristi,

I am planning on joining WW tomorrow. I am kind of nervous actually. Anyhow, I am 35 married with two children. I would love to buddy up with you. Hopefully we all reach our goals.

Congratulations jordyn1968. Your weight loss is very encouraging to me. You must have been happy to have seen that loss. I hope I can do as well.

Congratulations to scorpiobby20. Yay! I am actually getting excited about going tomorrow.

I have LOTS to lose. I just can't wait now to get started so I can start getting this weight off and get to know myself again. Hee Hee.

I will have to check out the ww thread. Hadn't gotten past the newbie section yet.

Take Care. Hope to see you both around here. PM me anytime. Good luck to everyone.

Hello...I am 29 (almost 30...will be in April), mom to 2 boys (ages 4 and 18 months) and I am in Wisconsin. I am on program and have a ways to go, but it will get there-50+ to go. Just remember to take it in steps and don't think of the entire amount, but work towards a bunch of smaller goals....it makes it easier.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Rachel

Hello Rachel-- I think we are all in this together, the more support -the better. I am excited to get motivated. just got home , tow of the girls are feelinga little under the weather. the dance studio whetre the girls' go (my oldest takes a lot of classes-so you will most likely hear me talk of tis place often..haha) well, the mom's gte to dance free. I never have taken classes but the offer ballet, tap, jazz flamenco, pilates and yoga to the moms. I am considering a pilates class...I really want to be on my way to success. I haven't actually gone back to my first WW meeting yet, but will probably do so this week. I dug out my food points book, points calculater and I am ready...

Welcome aboard Christine....I think we all can do this together. I signed up for a rec class for the next 6 weeks that starts on tues so we'll see how that goes.

The classes at the dance studio sound promising. I know my nieces love their studio that they go to for dance and if they offered those kinds of classes, I'm sure that my sister-in-laws' and I would check them out.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Hello. I am just ahving one of those days where i am feeling very heavy. I attempted sit-ups ( I did 15) I suppose I am beating myself up feeling like I can not do this...but I know I will be able to. It's like before I even finish eating , I am feeling full, so I wonder is it taht i am so used to overeating? I'll be okay, I think it's a combination of being tired as well. But just having a yucky feeling day.

HAve a great day!

I'm trying to lose around 60 pounds, as well.

I'm a SAHM to 5 kids in Ohio. My little one can go in the gym day care at 6 months, so in 2 months I'll be going there 3 times a week. In the meantime, it's just me and my treadmill.

I just started, officially, yesterday.

Hello Angie and Welcome.
That's great that you have the treadmill. You just had a baby, do don't be too hard on yourself. It takes time... (My youngest is 5...hehe) The gym will be great. I am learning to keep my eye on my goals.. this week I slipped a few times but am feeling more confident about the big picture, It's the only way to acheive my ultimate success. Hope to hear from you soon.
