Default Hi newbie here

Hey all,
Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. My name is Fran and I started back on WW a couple of weeks ago. I was trying to get to meetings every week, but found it to be difficult. So I have been doing it at home and its working pretty well.

How does everyone else do with just doing the program at home and not going to the meetings??

Looking forward to chatting with you all
Fran

Welcome.

I do the program at home. I have never gone to meetings. (Maybe that's my problem.)

Welcome Fran!
I just started today so it's nice to have more people to do this at home with
My town doesn't offer meetings so I've never been to one either but the at home kits are pretty thorough and between the weight watcher site and this board we can get plenty of support I did ww at home about 3 years ago with great sucess so I'm hoping this one is for life this time!

Hi Shelby, and to 3FC, especially the WW boards. FYI, there is a weekly thread on the main WW page where Faerie shares the WW Topic of The Week with us. This has given me lots to think about, and may help you, too.

Hi Fran! I just started back OP at home this week a well. I previously did very well on WW (& lost 50lb....but I had been going to mtgs) but then I had another baby.....you know how the story goes.
So now I am jumping back on the wagon & am really excited. In addition to coming here, I am also teaming up with my mom & best friend for accountability.

Keep us posted on how you are doing!

Hi Fran! ! We're glad to see you here. I have never been to a meeting, but I have been on the program since 06/08 and have dropped 40 pounds. I found the 3FC boards about 2 months into my program and they are great! Also, fo added accountability, I have told all of my family and several of my close friends that I am on WW - this is enough to keep me on the wagon!

Hi Fran!! I am new here too, I used to go to meetings I went every week from May to Jan. I feel off the wagon but have gotten back on today is week 3 for me but this time around I am doing it at home and with a friend. So far so good I have lost 8lbs woohoo. I think it works at home if you do it with a friend or someone to be accountable to at least for me that is what works best. Good luck!!!

Hi! I'm new too. I've been doing WW for 3 weeks now and am seeing results. I really hope with support from family and 3FC, I will be able to accomplish my goals. I'm just trying to take one day at a time. Good luck!!
