Hello everyone. I am doing this exclusively at home being my time doesn't permit meetings. Looking forward to chatting with you all as I travel through this journey called weight loss.

Hi Miadill,

Welcome! This is a really great concept...the next best thing to being in an actual meeting. It makes it fun, if the weight battle can be called "fun"...

So far, I've dropped 17 pounds and have about 38 more to go before I reach my goal. Each week I've lost, I add money to a special kitty...my spa fund. Once I reach my goal weight, I'm going to treat myself to a weekend of pampering at a spa. I am looking so forward to that!

Take care and have a great "loosing" week!

hi miadill, I'm new here too, but CERTAINLY not new to the battle of the bulge.

I work at home typing immigration hearings. I'm married and have two teens still at home and also share my home with my in-laws -- this is a new situation since 7/4/02. My life is nothing less than choatic at times, to say the least! I guess I'm doing WW to try to maintain "some" control over my life, the only part I guess I really have any control over. LOL. Hope we all find the support we're looking for. There are so many message board options, that I'm having a difficult time deciding which to focus on, how about you?
