I'm new to the site. I joined ww 8 weeks ago and I have lost 26 lbs. I feel so much better. I found this web site and logged on a couple weeks ago. I was locked out from my workplace and just got back on today.
I will tell something about myself to you. I am 38 yrs. old, married 20 yrs. and I have two children (Boys ages 15&11). I live in the U.S. in Kentucky.
I joined ww to feel better and to look better. I know I like feeling this way so I will continue to work hard.
If anyone would like to become e-mail buddies my address is [email protected].
Hope to hear from someone soon.

Howdy Ruty!
Welcome aboard and all the best with your journey on the way to good health!

We're all friendlies here and RubyEllen lives in Kentucky, too. (haven't seen a whole lot of her lately, though :( )

You can jump right in on the established thread or start your own. Come on in!

Hey Ruth, come on and see what makes us all keep coming back here. (Inspiration, recipes, comaraderie, good ideas, and support.)

I am 40, married 21 years, with a 14 yo and an 18 yo. As you already know, that can be a challenge in itself!!

Don't be shy. Post when you can. Love to "hear" from you.

Way to go girl ! It is work but I will never forget a phrase that a lady said when I joined. "Nothing taste as good as being thin feels !"
I've tried to lose weight many times, but I am ready to make the goal this time. I am over 200 lbs and want so bad before summer is over to be near or below that figure. That will be the first time in a long long time !!!!

Hang in there.
Good luck.

Jet, I heard a variation of that saying that works much better for me : Nothing tastes as good as losing weight feels.

It's been over 20 years since I've been thin so I DO NOT remember what that feels like. However, I know how excited and happy I am when I step on that WW scale and have dropped, so that's my motivation.
