Hello.

I thought I would do a quick introduction before I post anywhere else and someone thinks "Who is the crazy lady that just jumped on without an intro"

This is my second go around with WW. Although I didn't make it to goal the first time around, I did lose 65 lbs. I was doing online only at the time, but the dh lost his job and extra expenses had to go. I fooled myself into thinking I could do it on my own. I gained back 51 lbs back (at least I didn't gain more than I had lost).

I tried doing online again once dh got a job (2 years later). I couldn't get my groove back. I'm not sure why, but I couldn't. So this time a co-worker (who had done online only with me the first time around) and I decided to give the meetings a try. Why oh why I thought meetings would help I don't know.....I know how to work the system so why did I need meetings? We started meetings on 1/6/07 and so far I have lost 7.6 lbs in 3 weigh ins. Not too bad if I do say so myself.

So far meetings are working. I do hope to be able to go back to on-line only in a couple of months, but I may just stick to the meetings. Time will tell on that one I suppose.

I have 2 young dd (ages 5 and 6) who are a motivating factor. I want to be able to live my life healthy and teach them healthy habits. The oldest gets it that I am trying to lose weight. The youngest doesn't understand it yet which is fine.

I hope to meet lots of great, supportive people here.
