I'm 45 and have been on Weight Watchers since 10-2-01. I've lost 31.8 pounds and would love to hear from other Weight Watchers. I tryed the Buddy section but I think that following the same diet would be more helpful. My meeting/weigh in day is Tuesdays. I have about 20 pounds more to lose to make the goal that Weight Watchers endorses for my height and age, and then of course there is maintenance. I began this diet with the intention of making long term changes to my eating and exersize habits that were doable for the rest of my life, not just to fit into a certain size or for some special occasion. (I've had my share of ups and downs along the way where I lost my focus and determination) If anyone would like to buddy up, I also use yahoo messenger and icq so we could chat if we happen to be online at the same time about Weight Watchers, or life in general. If anyone is interested in this type of support, let me know.
Hey, I'll buddy up with you! I am 40 years old and have been a WW member since 1994, got to goal in May of 1995, continued to lose until August of 1995; a total of 120 lbs. I now work for WW as a receptionist but am over goal by about 23 lbs. (for WW) and about 35 lbs.(personal goal). My weigh in day is Tuesday, too!
Let me know how you want to stay in touch. Maybe email each other on Tuesdays??
I would love to give you a hand with your weight loss efforts. I am a WW Leader in the UK and have been now for 9 years. If you want to buddy up it would help me too as I still after 13 years of being a Lifetime member still struggle with my weight. I do have bad times like everyone else.
Not quite sure if I'm in the right bit,but saw that a WW buddy was required. I too think it would be better to have someone who is on this eating plan to chat and swap ideas. I try to get my inspiration from my meetings and monthly mags and it would be great if I could keep in touch with someone.
I have 73 Ibs to lose (I have lost 7 Ibs in two weeks) and would like to achieve this by the end of this year.
So look at my profile ( it's a bit short and sweet - not much room to write loads) and if I sound ok maybe we could start getting slim together!
Thank you all for responding, having you here is giving my morale a real boost and I hope I can do the same for you. I'm going to leave you private messages with my email address, so we can keep in touch in addition to posting here.
My weigh in is tomorrow night, hope to touch base with all of you soon.
Tomorrow is a new day, got a new journal and I'm determined to get back to writing down everything I eat, every day. How else will I really know if I have any banked points to splurge with on the weekend?
All the best to everyone. Drop me a PM or an email, I've given each of you my email in a Private message, hope to keep in touch.
As I reported to ChicagoMs privately, my loss at yesterday's weigh in was .4 -- not great, but I'll take it! I didn't do well last night though, with eating out for dinner. Today I have had 3.5 points for breakfast and will make sure I stay within my range the rest of the day. I also will do some type of exercise today; maybe the new exercise dvd I got.
I am brand new on this board. I am 32..live in NJ, USA. I have a 13 yr. old son. I just rejoined WW a week ago WED. I could really use a buddy..someone to email eachother and share our interests, obstacles, joys, challenges, success, etc. Are we allowed to post our email address on here? Just let me know if you are interested Mel! If not then anyone else?
Okay, buddies, I gained this week. I had a very stressful weekend and I'll admit that I used it as an excuse to overeat. I was up 1 lb. at my weigh in yesterday morning. I know that I will not have any time to exercise until Friday, but hopefully then I can get back to it. I NEED to lose next week!!
Hello all... great thread! I live in Toronto, Canada and am 28 years old. I joined WW in April 2001 and have lost 49.8 lbs to date - I have a goal of losing 0.2 lbs by my weigh in on Saturday so that I will (finally) reach the 50 lbs lost mark. After that I have another 50 lbs to lose. I hope to do that within the next year.
I've been having a little too much of everything the last few days, I have to get my focus back. It started with a handful of walnuts and some craisens that I didn't count, and then a cup of polish sausage with saurkraut and potatoes..flavored with bits of bacon... a high fat meal that I haven't had in 6 months and don't even want to imagine the points of. I also had some popcorn made with oil. I'm undermining myself, maybe I'm afraid to weigh less. Tuesday's weigh in is coming up and I'll see what damage I've done.
Need another buddy? I just happened upon this thread and thought it was just what I need right now I have lost about 40 pounds on WW but still have about 35 to go. I have been at a major stand still with my weight loss for about a year now. Actually, I have put about 10 pounds back on. Maybe I could get some motivation from all of you to help me get things moving again. And, of course, I will offer all my support and encouragement to you guys also I'll be weighing in tonight (Monday) and will let you know how I did. Thanks for letting me join!
