Nikkic, Congrats on those 2 miles!

On the scale issue, I recommend a basic digital. The science hasn't quite got the whole measuring of body fat down with them yet (too wonky, and can really give bad results depending on whether or not you just hopped out of the shower or drank a few glasses of water, etc), so I'd avoid that feature.

I use this one and got the same for my parents:

No prob and you're welcome,

Great Going Nikki! I recommend just a basic digital scale too. Mine is a Weight Watcher Conair (guaranteed for life). Make sure you weigh on a smooth flat floor and not carpet.
Maureen sounds like you miss living out there just a little? Dan doesn't

Hi,
Nothing new here.... I'm now officially down 16 pounds. I just hope it keeps coming off!

Jeanne, thanks!!!

Nikki, I'm super impressed about the jogging. I can't..... had partial knee replacement but would like to!

Zan, glad you got to be with your friends.

Maureen, glad you had a good time!

Tina, 6 days!!!!!!!

Tammy, how's life? Glad you are feeling better!!!!

Thanks Auntie, and congrats on those 16 pounds!

Yay Susan what are you doing differently??

I am starting weight watchers tonight! First weigh in :-) I'm am very excited to get started and I figured I would see if there was a support message board out there that I could use as my home base out on the net.

A little about me, I'm a guy, 37. I got divorced a 4 years ago and I have gained 100 pounds since then :-O I have decided enough is enough and I'm making a change. Right now I'm 325-330 I think put I will know for sure tonight. I'll come post an update after I go to the meeting!

Any advice for a newbie????

Hi,
May I join your group?
I'm new to WW and would love to learn more about the program.
I signed up for WW online sunday, I feel I need some sort of support group, because I don't get to go to meetings.
Please to meet everyone.
