Hey there. I re-started WW again just about two weeks ago. I've done it in the past and have found that I have to go to meetings in order to keep myself on track. Looking forward to staying on plan with everyone.

ME ME ME I too am joining the force and committing to be a new me this year---LOOSING WEIGHT IN 08!!! My name is Kara and I am 33 years old. I am married and the mom to 2 wonderful kiddios. DD Kylee just turned 12 and DS Aden will be 2 in April. I am a Registered nurse by trait, but I am in the final days of my employment to be a full time SAHM. I am not happy working at the company I am currently at so hubby said just SAH since I only work everyother weekend anyway. My DD and I have committed to loosing weight together. We both have about 70 lbs to loose each. It is time I stepped up to the plate and make my whole family healthier. With my DD being 12, kids her age are rude, crude and mean and she is starting to get teased. This I think is one of the biggest eye openers for me. She is getting to where she doesn't feel good about herself, and I know I don't feel good about myself. I approached her about doing WW and she wasn't interested at all about the meetings. She has a complex and doesn't feel comfortable with weigh ins, being in crowds about loosing weight, etc. etc...So I got into contact with a leader and we are doing this at home together. Which I think since we have teamed up, we WILL and CAN be successful. We started our new way of life Jan 27, 2008. Hope to hear from everyone else and to get into the weigh ins with you all.

Hi Everybody!

I took the plunge and rejoined WW this morning. This will be the .... 5th (?) time of restarting over the years. I get easily discouraged and was always looking for a quick fix. I know that this program works, and is NOT a quick fix, and I certainly did not gain weight overnight.

I just turned 40 at the beginning of this month, have four children. I am a nurse in a LTC facility and work 12 hour shifts.

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and losing on this journey together!

dolphn545...welcome and enjoy the journey.. one day at a time!!!
KaraRN...congrats to you for setting an example for your daughter...together you can do this. It is much easier if you have someone to hang in there with you on the really tough days..good luck to eveyone!!!!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome! It is so much easier with you do it with a partner. Thanks for the words of encouragement. Good luck to you too on your journey!

Ahhh..here it is Super Bowl Sunday...I have saved points all week so that I can enjoy my favorite game time food, PIZZA!!! However, I will only allow myself 2 small pieces of cheese pizza, nothing overboard, I promise!!! I will be running today in order to offset the splurge, hee hee.
Healthy eating to all today!!!

Weigh in day for DD and I after week 1 of WW.....so far....Miss Kylee is down 6 lbs and I am down 5.6 lbs (not bad since TOM came in the middle of the week to top off everything)

Way to go ladies!!!! WOW you rock!!!
I weigh in on Wed...keeping fingers crossed for a loss...
I will be running tomorrow, in the rain ...ahh New England.

I just rejoined WW tonight! In the past I got to lifetime and I hope to again. I am exactly 100 lbs from goal *gasp* so I have a long way to go but I really feel like I will be able to stick with it this time!!

lil- I am crossing my fingers for you...but I am sure you will do just fine.
Mommy- best wishes. I too have quite a bit to loose so....we will be right beside ya.

I can't believe there isn't more activity here. Wonder where everyone is at?

KaraRN..I'm here for you too...way to go on your loss, that's awesome!!! Mommytogirls.. you can do it this time. We are all here to help you. You did it before and you can do it again, I have lost 55 lbs in the past and here I am again too...we all slip up, but it's knowing to try again that makes us succeed...
...continued success on your weightloss journey...

I have WI today. And will post more later.

Congrats KaraRN on your loss!

Mommytogirls - I have recently rejoined myself. We can do this!! I love reading all the boards and successes. They have always helped to motivate me.

to everybody!!

I did WW from last May until August and lost a little over 20 lbs. Then I had surgery and was on a med with steriods in it and gain 17 lbs back.

Now I'm off the meds and re-started WW on January 1st. Now I'm within 5 lbs of where I was when I stopped last year.

WW is the ONLY thing that works for me!

Thanks everyone! Sounds like everyone is doing so good! I just love to see positive results!
