Hello ~
What a great site. I am a WW and love the program. Have had some hard weeks with staying the same, but I know what that can mean. So, I am putting in more exercise as I can. I have health problems, but I am so grateful to have a support group to go to for this problem of weight loss. I have had the weight on for some 32 years now. I was chubby as a child but not really fat. I was not a large teen. But it has been very difficult to find motivation to take the weight off. It seems when handed a either or situation ~ the either seems to stick in the brain. So here I am, ready to go for the goal weight. I want so much to loose all 120 lbs, but it is going to be very hard. When I first began the diet I had 143 lbs to loose, so you can see I am on my way !!! 23 lbs did not come off quick or easy. But I am grateful for every inch and lb gone off this body ! ha !
I hope to meet those members on this site that wish to encourage and exchange ideas and help. I need all I can get !!

Thank you for reading this.

Welcome jet. I've been here for a bit and am still struggling to get to that elusive goal weight. I plan on making it this time!!

Check out a few of the threads - 100+ 2 Go, the Countdown threads, etc., and join in on the discussions. New perspectives are always needed.

Hi Jet ,
Welcome to the group . I have been on Weight Watchers since May 22 1999 , & have lost over 100 pounds . I have really struggled the last year . I had lost 110 , but have inched back & forth with 7 of that . The main things i love about weight watchers is , it's easy , there's alot of fellowship , & it's not a diet . So , you don't get chastised if you gain . The important thing is to keep going . Even when I know i'm going to gain , I go to the meetings . Don't look at the big picture . Set small goals . When you look back , Say , " in 1 year I have lost 20 pounds ! " . Don't say "only" . I still have aprox. 58 pounds left to go , but I feel great physically . I bet you feel alot better after the amount you've lost . So , be nice to yourself . You're doing what's right for you , no matter how long it takes .
