Hi there yes i'm a former WW chick that...well shoot it all down the tube. what a silly thing to do. I did great back in 01 lost approx 46 lbs in a bout 6 months after having my little one. I kept the weight off for approx 4 1/2 years and never kept it going to loose any more than that. I have since gained it all back plus an addtional 43 lbs Point is i've tried it ALL prescribed meds otc stuff even had submitted my paper work for bypass, latest endevor was the miricale HCG yes i lost on it but really... no i mean really who in the H e double hockey stick can eat that way for life>????? um no body thats right nobody, thats why i'm back here. Relearning what i know works.... everything in moderation. So I'm happy to be back i used to frequent another board, but I like this one too. I look forward to new friendships and Encouraging all along the way

Welcome back and good luck !!

glad your back..I like WW principles too..I also love the low GI thing! Welcome!

Hi tarnishedhalo. It does work, doesn't it? I have experienced basically the same pattern as you... after my 2nd was born in 2001, I was 256 also. Too much. Lost 60, and kept finding another 20. Finally got up to 226 last summer and said enough! So since then I've lost 44. I haven't had a single week off program, though I've had weeks where I ate almost every available point! Haven't lost every week, but I've lost an average of 1.6 lbs a week, and I'm so happy with that.

I have discovered I LOVE Zumba fitness classes, and I like jogging. I'd never jogged a mile straight before November, and now I can do 2.5. YAY! You can do it!

I'm back for round 2, too. Good luck :-) !!!

thanks for the kind words and welcomes. I lokk forwars to sharing this chapter with all of you Best regards hope you all have a successful day!!!

I too just started my second round at WW because I know it works too! Please know that you are not alone...it feels great to be back in control and on a plan doesn't it. I'm rooting for you Best of luck!

I have just stopped a different program because I found it just too restrictive for me .... I need more choices and I need to know that I can eat like this forever. I know WW is the best choice for me ... learning how to make peace with food. Portion control and making the most of my points is the key I know that. Now it's just up to me to do it!! I look forward to "meeting" you.

I agree, WW is what I know and it works.
Best to all!
