Hi everyone! I just discovered this site on Google search. My name is Meghan and I am 29 years young. I live in Virginia Beach, VA and have no kids. I'm single and focusing on my self-confidence and myself for once in my life! I am currently around 315lbs but would love to get down to 200, then 150. I have tried dieting with the Scarsdale diet and various other diets. I read an article in my local newspaper about a woman that dieted with Weight Watchers and went from a size 28 to a 6 and she was in her 40s. It really intrigued me to look into WW since I have recently thought about doing surgery to lose weight. I have a hard time exercising because I stand on my feet all day at work but now I am COMMITTED!! I have to lose this weight to regain my confidence. I have always been overweight. Last time I was probably average size was when I was a toddler LOL! I also look forward to shopping for pretty bras and cheaper clothes! Lane Bryant gets expensive!

Any success stories on Weight Watchers? I'm so excited to go shopping to begin my weight loss journey! :-)

Welcome to the forum!

I tried WWs a few months ago. I thought it was great, and I lost about 10lbs in 3 weeks, but it wasn't exactly what I need. I think that WWs can be very beneficial though, especially if you find a great group leader.

Welcome Meghan! I'm new here too, just today, although I have come across this website many times on Google. Congratulations on starting your weight loss journey. You can do it! The biggest thing that I've ever found helpful is to think about YOU and you alone...and think of what YOU need to do to get into a routine and make yourself happy. I have tried to do a few different diets like South Beach, etc. and they have never really lasted with me. I have heard that Weight Watchers is different and allows for a lot of variety and choices. A woman at my work did it and she has lost a lot of weight and has really become passionate about her diet and her workout regimen. The hardest thing is always just getting started and into it, but anyone who has the heart to do it can do it. Best of luck to you Meghan!
