Wink Newbie on track once again!
Hello all!
My name is Rena and I'm starting my weight-loss journey tomorrow! I'm 30 yrs old and weigh almost 370 lbs. I have been on and off diets since I was in junoir high (although looking back now I was the perfect weight back then). I have joined weight watchers so many times I can't even keep track (and I've also quit the same # of times).
It's frustrating when you have so far to go (to lose weight), and it's nice to know that you all have either gone through it or are going through it.
Since I have all the info from WW I might try it again on my own. I also am thinking of seeing a dietician (maybe in the next few weeks).
I think my main set-back is that I'm scared of succeeding!!! This is going to be my #1 hurdle to get over!!
I'm so glad this support group is here. And congrats to you all for losing weight (you all look wonderful!)

Hiya Rena &

There's a WWer section under Diet Central if you'd like some program support, too. But, please, post wherever you're comfortable. We all have a ways to go here, but we're doing it. One step at a time, we're doing it. So can you!

Hope to see you around more often!

Best of success!

Rena - Facing our fears is a huge part of being able to move forward in this journey, and something that I know I have had to do at multiple different times. The thing I love about this group is that they totally get it and whether you are easily on plan or having trouble and struggling, everyone is here to help.
