My name is Ruthie and I am new to this!!! This is my millionth time on Weight Watchers but I am bound and determined that I will NOT quit and that I WILL reach my goal this time!!! I need to lose a little over 100lbs so it's going to be tough, as any weight loss is. I am so glad I found this group...I could really use the support because I am pretty much doing this all on my own. So anyways, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself!!!!:

Welcome, Ruthie, I'm so glad you are here! Congratulations for your decision to be the happiest and healthiest you ever!

I wish you the best of luck on your journey to good health.

Hi, Ruthie! I'm new, too...or rather, I joined a while ago but then I disappeared until this week. I'm impressed that you're aiming for 132 lbs...I'm the same height but trying for 140. Not a big difference. How's WW going? Do you go to meetings, or are you doing it on your own?

Hi, Ruthie,
And welcome. I am new here, too. No time like the present to give ourselves the gift of being healthy and fit.

Thanks all for the warm welcome!!! I have been attending the meetings. I've tried it without before and it just didn't work well for me. I think it helps me to have to go in and be held accountable.

Hi Ruthie!
You've landed in YoYo Central, we all know how it is to lose only to gain it back (and sometimes more) -but we're here now and back on track - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on..

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired. Try the weight loss support forums and the 100 lb club, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation. Check out the Weight Watchers forum for support and advice from others on the same plan.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here since last fall, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
