Talking Is there room for a repeat offender?
Hi everyone!

I'm new to the board but NOT new to WW! I bet I've joined at least 6 times...I lost count! I've been on "vacation" at the South Beach, but found it's really not working for me, so I re-joined WW on Tuesday.

A little info: I'm a SAHM with 5 dc. I was a RN in a former life but now I stay home and homeschool my little ones. My dh and I have been married for 17 years and both of us need to lose about 100 pounds.

I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you. As I've been lurking, I can really tell you all encourage each other!

Erika

PS Could someone help me change my ticker? I'm SOOOO NOT 226 (YET!)

Mother Hen, let me be the first to give you a big

If you're looking for support you've come to the right place....

Our stats are similar, when I weighed in at WW for the first time 9 weeks ago, I was 237 lbs...now I'm at 213. You can do it, we all know you can.

As far as your weight tracker goes, you'll need to go to your "user cp" located on the top left hand corner of the menu, then you'll want to select "edit my signature" and there is a link to change your ticker there.

Anyway, congrats on starting your weight loss journey!!

Well if there's no room for repeat offenders a lot of us will have to leave!! This is my 2nd serious time on WW. There was one other but I kind of goofed off really early.

We can do it!!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Susan B-- WOW I'm both encouraged that there are so many repeat offenders and also a little scared...I really want this to be my last time, KWIM? And I LOVE that book by Anne Fletcher. It's one I have kept on my shelf for encouragement!

One thing I've learned this week already is that you can actually go to a movie and NOT eat popcorn! Whoda thunk?

And Chantel my friend, I've read ALOT about your success and you should be VERY VERY proud! Keep on walking, girl cause I'm following your footsteps!

Mother Hen! Welcome! I just joined WW (again) last Saturday and have my first weigh in in just over an hour :

Your stats look a lot like mine - so we can cheer each other on easily!

Good luck! Looking forward to watching become a big loser!

mother hen, what a nice thing to say, you're very sweet!!

I've learned a lot from posting and reading the threads on these boards. I, too am a repeat offender, I started posting here back in January and I didn't actually start succeeding until September of this year...I think it's natural to "fall off the wagon" a few times....

You're going to do great, and we'll all be here every step of the way!!
