Hello- I have been a member of 3 fat chicks forever..... On my weight loss journey of have been on many plans including WW more than once.... I have been a gaining period the last 6 months and gained about 20 lbs..... Ugh... I just feel terrible lately about everything... how I look, how tired I am, how I am eating, how I think my BF see me even though I KNOW he loves me for me.....
Today was the day to do something about it.... My sister and I went back to a WW meething.... I have been counting points all day...I am proud of myself for going back because if I hadn't started I would have just gotten bigger I know it..... So yeah for me going back to a meeting today!
The problem is when I weighed in I had to see how much I really weight right now..... 248.6!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh there I feel it bit better after that scream......
Well it will be a journey to get to my 10%, hope to see/speak to some of you along the way......
Congrats and welcome back! Once the initial shock has passed, you'll feel great knowing where you're starting from and so proud of where you'll end up. Be proud you made this step- I know people who refuse to acknowledge that scales exist... Every great dieting success story starts with a scream on a scale!!! LOL

Have a nice day ladies.... and gents...
girl. I hear you. :]
I gained 30 back before I got tired of it!
Me too!
The hardest thing is walking through that door for the first time.
It's easier, in some ways, to just put it all aside and continue to deny the problem, as so many people do.
I'm proud of you, you can do this!
By the way, one of the most helpful things I have found lately is people watching wherever I go, especially in grocery stores. I look at people and kind of rate them obese, moderate and a good weight. You know it's an amazing eye opener to see how many obese people there are out there walking around. I peek at people's grocery carts to see what they are buying. Interesting how the folks who I assess to be "a good weight" are buying almost all the things that Weight Watchers tells us to eat. I often wonder (but certainly don't speak to any of these people) if they are veteran WW people, or just naturally that way. I also look at the foods the obese people are buying and there are tons of cookies, crackers, prepared frozen foods, desserts, bags of chips and Doritos and such. It's a learning experience.
One could certainly develop a weight loss plan just from grocery store watching.... taking photos of the people and what is in their carts!
You are taking a huge step and soon you will be one of those people with all the best quality and lean foods in your cart, it may happen gradually, but you can do this... just watch the ones who look the way you want to be looking!
What's in your cart? (taken from the commercial that asks "what's in your wallet")

Funny you posted that Linda, because I've been watching people in the grocery store too. The cookies, ice cream, fast food items usually belong to a large person and not remarkably enough, their children and spouse are usually large too. It's the lifestyle. Not too much of a secret if you think about it.
Anyway, I wanted to welcome you back to WW - I'm back after numerous joins myself and have dropped over 20 lbs, put a little back and now back at it again myself. We've been there.
Hey, can I suggest that you find one of the threads which have daily posts? there are several here. I know that I'm active in a couple of them. Go check them out and feel free to join whichever one you feel comfortable in. You're welcome to join any of them. They all welcome new posters.
Good luck. Many of us consider the board our daily meeting.
I love the idea of crafting a diet from watching people in the grocery stores! That's hysterical! I always see healthy, fit looking people reading labels... hmmm...
My cart is usually full of bottled water, cleaning supplies, Birdseye steam in the bag veggies, assorted produce, boneless skinless chicken breasts, steaks, salmon, Campbell's Soup in Hand, whole grain bread, fat free sugar free pudding cups and diet juice. And Edy's slow churned vanilla ice cream... honestly, it's the stuff I eat in restaurants that kills me!
Omg!
