Yep, military. And I would like to say that it is really nice not to have

to get the hoover out every night, because a child has decided to destroy

some polystyrene. It is still sitting in my living room for later.

And why is it my DH has 'projects'. so cutting the grass is a project,

cleaning out a cupboard (which then looks like it has been ransacked) is a

project, painting the fence is a project and so on. Me I just get on and do

it! BTW I haven't had a weekend for 8 years now. as DH works shifts, every

day is the same. It is nice to have him at home during the week, but I do

miss my weekends.

I have cultivated the Saturday lie in though - by resolutely refusing to get

out of bed until 9pm!!!

Oh yes, IKWYM. Does he also say it's all in the preparation to excuse the

time it takes him to do anything concrete on these projects?

Tell me about it!

We arrived back from NZ over a month ago. Immediately Grae decided to

decorate the spare room.

We had someone in to do a skim, he's washed and filled and washed and

sanded and washed and....... vacuumed and put on one and a half walls

of emulsion. One coat only so far And ground to a halt.

No some people might say I should do it - and I might if he hadn't

been so determined he was going to!

Welcome Kathy,

Congratulations on your weight loss so far. You are doing a great job. Keep

it up. You will love this group.

I joined WW in March of this year and I just got to my goal weight a couple

of weeks ago (lost 58 pounds). I am a lifetime member from 1985 so I am not

having to do the 6 weeks of maintenance, but I am doing it on my own anyway

and I am still weighing in every week. It is making me more accountable. I

think your goals sound very realistic. I don't know about your church, but

our church (where I also work as an administrative assistant to the

Children's Communtiy) we have functions that have food involved all the

time. Especially here at work, someone is always bringing in something

delicious. I have had to learn to keep my own on program snacks at my desk.

So far I have lost 59 pounds and I feel great.

Keep losing and you will reach your goal.

Introduction

Hello!

My name is Kathy Willis and I've been on the Weight Watcher's plan for eight

weeks. I've lost 17.6 pounds. I took two weeks off during that eight weeks

for vacation, so I feel good about what I've lost so far.

I'm doing the Winning Points system and attending weekly meetings at our

church (I am a pastor's wife). I'm age 38 (will be 39 in December). My

desire

is to be at goal and maintenance by my 40th birthday. I need to lose 40-50

more pounds. I gained all of my weight from having a chronic illness that

causes me to be inactive, for my metabolism to slow down, and from side

effects of medications. It is taking a lot of discipline and exercise to get

the weight off, but it is worth it! I was skinny growing up and for the

first

few years of marriage, so being obese is not something I am used to!

My goal is to be in a size 16 by my birthday, a size 14 by my husband's

birthday, and a size 12 by April Fool's. From there I will decide if I want

to try for a size 10 or not.

Some of you are setting Christmas weight loss goals. I hope to lose at 15

more pounds by then. I'll let you know how it goes.

I enjoy reading the recipes and the success stories!

Kathy Willis

Hello. I wanted to introduce myself to all of you. My name is and I am 38 years young and I live in Washington state with my husband, and 2 boys ages 5 and 8. I work at home doing Child Care and so I can set my own hours so as to be with my own as much as possible. I am looking into joining WW but haven't done that yet. I am still in the looking process. Any advice from anyone? I see you can go to meetings or work at it at home. What is everyone doing? So what do you all talk about on this list? I just want to be a part so please tell me.

Welcome, ! I just joined here yesterday but I like what I've seen so far.

I'm doing WW going to weekly meetings. The main office is between where I work

and where I live (I have a 17 mile commute every day), so I stop in on Thursday

nights for weigh-in and the first after-work meeting so I can get home at a

pseudo-respectable hour.

Whether you go to meetings, do the at-home program, or the on-line WW program,

make sure you build yourself a support system. Groups like this one are very

good (I'm also in another one of these groups and have been for a couple weeks -

I've been better at staying on-program (OP) since joining that group). Whoever

said " no (wo)man is an island " wasn't kidding. I'm still trying to learn that

lesson myself, but I'm doing a lot better since changing meeting days and

leaders (the leader I have now owns the WW franchise here so, until she retires,

she's not leaving).

Glad you found this board. I know none of us can tell you what program you

should follow however, having been on almost all of them - including many rounds

of WW in the past, before they came up with the Points system - the 'new'

Winning Points program is the most balanced, sensible, and do-able program

that's out there. And it's truly not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. WW

provides and teaches you the tools you need to succeed at choosing to make these

changes.

Good luck with whatever program you decide upon. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sarika -

Welcome to the community! It sounds like you have had some wonderful

success on your journey thus far. The body sculpting sounds interesting.

Can you tell us more about this.

Hi , The only meat I eat is seafood. I eat everything else,

which is my problem lol. I absolutely love the recipes here. The only

thing I need is to know the nutritional stats on the food so I can

calculate the actual percentage of fat in each serving. I have to

keep mine below 30.

Keep the recipes coming everyone, they are wonderful!
