Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Hi Everyone I joined this group a few days ago. I also just joined weight watchers and attended my first meeting a day ago. I love it! My name is Marcia and I am from South Dakota. I am married and have a very spoiled siberian husky, zoah. I am a web designer and enjoy scrapbooking and reading. I have around 50 lbs to lose. I have a question for all of you.... Any advice to someone new to weight watchers? What about helpful websites that deal with diet and fitness?

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yes, thank you. I will not share this with him for now. It will need to be discussed at some point in context -- mostly about his poor social relations and his relationship with his son. Maybe we could see a marriage counselor or i could see someone first who has knowledge of this. He doesn't see anything out of the ordinary that his son has not wanted to see him for a year, that people are put off by him, or that he doesn't have a single close friend, and that he is so obsessed with spreadsheets and tables and spends most of his time collecting and entering birding data. I am going to leave it for a while, and go visit my family by myself this year. I have mentioned my suspicion to him before, but as I said, he denies that there are any issues at all.
