Hi, all...

I'm Lisa, living in the Worcester, MA area. I just recently joined Weight Watchers, and though I have access to their eTools and message boards, I really don't like the way they're set up. So, after seeking out other forums, I happened upon this one!

I had gastric bypass surgery 7 years ago, and I gained back about half my weight. Last year was an insanely busy year - we bought a house, moved, and got a dog; I changed jobs, bought a new car, and graduated college; and we got married and went on a honeymoon. Phew! This year is much calmer and quieter... I also turn 40 this year, and I have slacked too long on getting healthy. Since I don't have all those other distractions in my life, I can focus on me. I'm lucky, because my DH is also trying to eat healthy and lose a few pounds. It definitely helps not having to do it alone!

So, I just wanted to say hi...

Hi Lisa,I live in Shrewsbury.Welcome to WW.

Hi LisaP - welcome and good luck with your goals! If you're interested, join us over in the 40-something forum - we've got a good group of gals in there and everyone is very supportive. Pretty active thread, so lots of good ideas bouncing around

No way! LOL! I'm in Boylston, on the Shrewsbury line!

I'm attending WW meetings in West Boylston on Saturday mornings.

I'm still partially in denial about the turning 40 thing... :-P Please don't be offended if I don't join you until after Septmber! LOL!

Such a small world Lisa.I go to the WW center down by Trader joes.I really like it.I turned 40 five years ago,I wish I was 40 again,I wouldn't have been holding onto this weight for quite so long.
