Hey, I went through a medical issue that has kept me out of the gym for almost a month. I totaled my car. I helped the person I have been in love with for a year through an emotional crisis (only to find out that *I* was the crisis and she loves me right back! but that's not the point!) I went through some stress. I refuse to be hard on myself about the weightloss right now. It's a new week.

I'm pretty bad with diets.

I'm trying not to focus on my weight too much right now, because technically my weight is normal. But I have acid reflux (found this out yesterday) so I'm trying to think of a healthier diet.

I really gotta start exercising again. I told myself that I'd join a class at the gym when school is out. So I guess I should get myself over there tomorrow.

Hey BWW weight watchers,

A friend recently asked me to join Weight Watchers with her but so far I haven't been able to give her a definitive answer yet. My BMI according to weightwatchers.com is 24. Not bad. But I am about 10 lbs over what they say the healthy weight range for someone my height and age is. In other words, am I too skinny for weight watchers? If I attend meetings will I be shunned? I want to support my friend and I know that I could stand to lose 15 lbs and learn healthy eating and exercise habits but I feel like I'd be a fraud or something. Should I join even if I only have 15(ish) lbs to lose. And more than that is it even worth the 40 bucks a month? Thanks for any advice.


PS: How is weight watchers for fitness goals? I have some lofty fitness goals (climbing a 14,000ft mountain a year from now)....is weigh watchers mostly about the food?

My goal is another 20lbs, but I'm getting there. JC is actually pretty good and they accommodate your needs and schedule, which is nice.

WW is more about portion control and smart decisions while incorporating exercize. If you go to a meeting and share your goals, I am sure you will find people very encouraging.

Apparently I've lost a full pound in two days. Methinks my scale is busted.

Down 3.6 for the last two weeks. My leader was SO great today. I wore my AIDS Walk shirt and she asked me to talk about it and talked about how proud of me she was. So that's 36.8 in 16 weeks. YAY!

Hey all,

After a 2 year hiatus and gaining back 2/3 of what I originally lost, I am officially a WW member once again. I joined this afternoon.

The journey begins again...

xx...I joined again last week, too. Down 4.4. I'm hopeful but am scared I'll lose momentum again.

Does anyone else feel like this is the one area of life that may always be a struggle? Personally and professionally things can be great, but when it comes to this...ugh. I hate feeling so weak. I know it's not impossible, that it takes work and discipline and that it's completely in my hands, but the one thing I hate is failing at something, and I've succeeded AND failed at this more times than I can count.

I gained .4 pounds this week. I swear, I was ready to be up 4-5 pounds. I had one HELL of a week. I am completely happy with my +.4. Sad, huh?

Good goin', Jerby!

I had to quit the program last week due to lack of funds. Here's hoping I can maintain on my own.

Well, if you need encouragement, you know where to ask...lol. That's the good thing about WW, once you know how, you can pretty much doo it without paying them. The meetings keep me on program, though. We can be your meeting here.

You definitely can. I had the same problem with having to drop it because of lack of funds, and I think you learn what you need to know with WW pretty quickly. I lost my first 30 pounds on Weight Watchers, and I'm glad I did it, but I've continued to lose since then. I'd consider rejoining if I hit a major stalling point, I think.

My father will always have a good 200 pounds on me. Even though Hub is slimming down, every night when we get into bed, I still get sucked into his gravitational pull. Last month, I gave my mother all of the size 16 jeans that are now too big for me. Yesterday, though, when my older brother borrowed my scale, it became official.

Besides the dog, I am the lightest one living in my house. At this moment, my brother weighs almost 20 pounds more than I do. I don't think this has happened since approx. 1996. To say that this is a wonderful feeling is definitely an understatement. It's a freaking miracle.

I just had to share.

Yeah, I gained this week. Like a lot. Over 2 pounds. I am not sure how it happened, but it did. I did everything right. I am trying to not get depressed as it's a lifestyle change and not a diet, but damn.

I'm sorry, JG. I know how tough that is. Just keep plugging away. I'm sure it's just a normal fluctuation. Don't let it get you down.

Ok I was thinking about joining ww again but have to wait till sept when I get my steady income back (the curse of being a teacher) so my mom and I have started doing it ourselves (having been a member several times since I was 16 we know the program and it worked in the past). So instead of weighing in every week(cause sometimes when you think you do good and nothing happens, I probably will weigh in every 2 weeks) I am going by clothes size and my goal is to go down 2 dress sizes but really it is just to be healthy, my dad was just diagnosed with diabetes and I don't want that to happen to me so it's nice to know I can here for words of encouragement and tips

Lost 2.6 this week...yippee. Of course, I had a withdrawal setback of sorts yesterday...ate terribly...chips, 2 chocolate covered strawberries, a mini-burger, baked Cheetos... But I'm back on track today.
