A lurker who finally joined
 

Hi, my name is Rose and I would like to join your group. I have been on and off WW for 3 years. I lost 40 pounds after I had my daughter and I am now still trying to lose the weight after my son - it seems harder the second time. :?:
I was reading some threads and I was wondering if you guys are just doing on your own or are you doing the online version?

I was doing the at-work program but it ended and I would like to continue on my own until they restart it.

thanks!

I Do It On My Own, I Got All The Material And I Just Do Weigh In's At Home And I Will Get On The Weight Watchers Website For New Success Stories And Recipes But Other Then That I Couldn't Really Afford To Go Or Online, But I So Far, Enjoy It This Way ! I Am Also Trying To Lose After My Second Child, With My First I Lost 40 On Weight Watcher . Good Luck And If You Ever Need Anything Just Ask.
Good Luck
Stacey

Thanks! that is good to know. I hope that posting here will keep me honest :)

I know what you mean, it is expensive. The At-Work program worked for me because I didn't have to make a special trip in the evenings and my husband did it with me but he weighed himself at home on my weigh-in days. (He tends to gain weight right along with me during my pregnancies) I love the success stories. They give me hope.

I started with the on-line but I really need the WI you get at the meetings. My scale is just not accurate and I found the non-accountiblity of weighing myself an issue. so I go to weekly meetings but I am finding the support on-line and on this site to be just awesome.

Thanks to all!!!!

Hi there, I'm new as well.

My name is Dawn, and I first joined WW here in my city in July of 2001. I lost about 35 pounds between then and December, and then got pregnant for the first time. I had some fertility issues, and when I got the weight back in line, I think that helped with conception.

Oh, my boy needs me, I'll be back, sorry!

It is amazing how losing weight can change your life. I had gestational diabeties and bad sciatica pain with my daughter (I was very heavy) and because I lost the weight before I had my son, my second pregnancy was easier. I do have to be careful now because diabeties runs in my family and because I had it when I was pregnant, I have a 40 -60% of getting it as I get older. The only thing that will help me is to watch my weight.

Dawn, how old is your son? mine is 1 year and 1 month, my daughter is 4 years old

I've been a lurker also and recently came out of hiding.lol This is a great place for tips and recipes, and support I've noticed. I do WW on my own, bought the books on ebay. I get weighed and measured every month at Curves. Nice to meet ya!

this is a great place! - I love the recipes and tips.
Glad to know I was not the only lurker:)

My son is going to be 3 in August. He's a delight every day, and we are so blessed to have him in our lives!

Welcome, Rose. I'm really new to this forum. I posted an introduction quite a while ago, but haven't been back much since.

I follow the plan at home on my own. I don't do meetings or the on-line version. I was given all my stuff by my MIL since she is no longer interested in following the plan. I've been relatively successful, but sometimes I'm my own worse enemy.

Tammy, I hear ya! Sometimes I wish I could tape my mouth shut. I am a snacker, if I cut out all of the snacking I would lose more weight. I exercise 4-5 times a week but I really need to cut out the snacking.

Dawn, kids are a blessing! I have two and 4 year old girl and 1 year old boy. It is such a joy to watch them grow and learn new things. They do grow up too fast!

Another lurker...
 

Hi all,
I have been lurking on this site for a little over 3 weeks now. I am doing WW at home, I bought the materials on E-bay. I cannot afford to attend meetings so this site has been a great source of inspiration and encouragement to me! I am a 36 y/o stay at home mom of a 6 month old (teething!) happy little boy. I have lost 8.5 pounds so far- the last of the baby weight thank goodness! My goal is to lose a total of 25 pounds to start- I would like to match the weight on my driver's license!! I like the WW points program but I still struggle with the emotional aspect of eating. "Having a rough day, what can I eat?", etc. I have been exercising, which is HUGE for me because I have a hard time getting going. I would like to continue to read and post on this site because I see a lot of myself in some of you ladies and it's nice to know that there are others out there like me!! Thanks!

lurker to this board, but new to ww.

Ive been lowcarbing it for years, and have had wonderful success. But its time for a change. Ive been on ww(online) for about 3 weeks now, so far so good.
