I am 'new again' to WW. I tried about 2 or 3 years ago but I just wasn't ready. I wasn't doing it for me - I was doing for everyone but me.

So here I am now - ready and rarin' to go.

My first meeting is tonight.

I am starting at about 290'ish and I am aiming for 160'ish

You sure have come to the right place. This is a great site for anyone interested in making a life change. I post regularly to a thread here called 'Countdown to 250'. You're welcome to come and hang out with us over there. It's a great group and we love to share inspiration and motivation with each other. Hope to see you there.

On here, any place is the "right" place. If you want the WW support then you posted in the right spot for more information or stories similiar to yours. I just read and reply to anything I feel that I can benefit from or maybe someone else can benefit from. I haven't checked yet but you can post a thread on the "buddy" thread if you'd like someone to pal up with you. Good luck on your loss I know you can do it. I weighed 256 pounds at my biggest last July and have lost 52 pounds and kept it off. I still have 48 to go but it will happen. Read posts and reply often and you'd be surprised at how motivated you can be.

welcome to the sight and to WW. I started a few weeks ago and I have my meeting tonight. I am on my way out the door but I wanted to welcome you and let you know I am where you are too, weight wise. If you're looking for a buddy, I love to chat and if you're just looking for some great info/advice, this is a great site. Good luck. Feel free to email me if you would like.

Well - my first meeting was great! It is a meeting for people with 50+ pounds to loose - but most of the people there have over 100 to loose.

It is so helpful to be in a room full of people with as much or more weight to loose as I. It makes me feel less 'freakish'!

My leader lost 125lbs and has kept it off for 7 years - what a motivation!

Thanks to all who welcomed me. I look forward to sharing my successes and my pitfalls with you all!!!
