Default I just started Weight Watchers 5 weeks ago
5 weeks ago I decided to DO something about my excessive weight gain after looking into gastric bypass surgery. The surgery won't be covered by my insurance - so I had to look for an alternative - because my attitude and depression is getting the best of me because I feel like a HUGE COW!! I know I am going to have a LONG journey - as I have PCOS and it's real hard to lose weight with this condition, but I have stuck with it for 5 weeks now! I started at 294.4 - and right now I weigh 285.4 - a loss if 9lbs so far! And it's been SO EASY - that my husband joined WW too!

I will post more each time I weigh-in...

I too have PCOS and know the feeling of not losing weight... I joined WW this past friday after being hungry all the time on the low carb deal. I was diagnosed in june with PCOS and weighing in at 290, I am at 260 right now.. andi never thought it was possible to lose weight after failing in the past because of the PCOS...

YOU CAN DO THIS

I also have PCOS and have been able to get all my extra weight off. It really took a lot of grit and determination. But, I finally made it. Low-carb is what worked for me. Good luck and best wishes on your weight loss journey.

Hi,
I decided to join WW again too. I hope I'll be successful this time, I always
seem to be all excited when I first start and by weeks end I tire. I really need some support.

Just wanted to say congratulations, it's such wonderful feeling to see the number on the scale dropping! Good for you!

I, too, joined Weight Watchers recently. I'm only into my second week, but I lost 6.4 lbs. at my first weigh in so I'm super excited. I couldn't believe it, all I keep thinking is how easy it really is.

Good luck to everyone!!
