Smile my first post

I am on ww at home. i used to go to meetings, but right now I do not have the time to go, so i pulled out all of my materials and said ok, here we go! I have lost 11 pounds so far. my wi today was the same. no loss no gain. i think because this was a holiday week, I had trouble keeping track of my points. or t.o.m.. so i have a question, where do you get the weight loss ticker some of you have in your sig line? about me:i need to lose 60 pounds, i will be 46 this year. and this is hard this time around.

Hi there Chrissyriss!



Glad to see you found the WW At Home section Have a look around the site, you might find that you also enjoy the 40-something's area. Great job on losing those first 11 lbs. You can definitely keep at it!

The tickers are allowed after a person has been a member for 30 days, and has made 30 posts. No worries, though. If you stick around, you'll get there in no time! (Think of staying with it for 30 days as a mini-goal )

Best of success!!!

Welcome Chrissy, I am new to this posting too and so you can tell that I do not get the honors of tickers yet either. But, I am not new to WW at home and I use WW online for a great guide line. on your weight loss so far we are about the same. We both have been on WW before, same age and I need to loss 55 lbs. : I really started middle of Feb and I have lost 14 lbs about 2lbs a week. I am on the Flex program that seems to work the best for me. Also working out has been the big key for me. I try to work out everyother day And boy do I hear ya on the fact that it is very hard this time for me too. Hope to see you around 3fc maybe we can help each other in your new journey. and LET'S

Hi Chrissyriss,

I'm also doing WW at home, the online version. I also am weighing on Mondays. Like you, I was unable to attend meetings regularly because of my work schedule. I just bought a WW magazine and liked it very much; am considering subsribing too. I hope at my next weigh in I will weigh 200 or maybe a tad less. It's great to have you here and your determination is helpful to us all.

Welcome!!

Hello All!

This too is my FIRST post!

I have lost weight before, and I have gained it ALL back! I had a major life setback and used emotional eating to heal my hurt. But low and behold, I added more hurt as I added the pounds. So here I am, with an overall goal to lose 108 pounds. I have been successful with the Atkins diet, but I walked away 100 pounds lighter and with high cholesterol.

Now I'm trying a healthier approach. I want to keep it off so I'm trying to do all the right things; cardio, vitamins, weight lifting, and drinking water (that one is hard for me, believe it or not).

But I am glad I found this support group. I bought the WW tools long along and never used them. I have a hectic schedule so I am going to try to do this at home, but not alone! I'm going to need all the help I can get.

Thanks
V.

I'm actually going to ww but I'm finding it hard to make it to the meetings with my crazy schedule! How do you like the on-line version? I need the accountability, so I'm scared to switch. Do you ever have to go in to ww to weigh in, or is it all on your own scale? Can you make lifetime with the on-line version?
