I'm new here

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm Terri and I just joined your group. I am hoping to meet a

lot of people with common goals, that is, lose the weight and keep

it off for good. I joined Weight Watchers on July 1st. and have

been regularly attending meetings in my area, but a once a week

meeting is sometimes not enough, so I thought I would try this.

When I joined, our leader told me to lose 10% of my body weight

first, and then decide on what my goal would be. How do you decide

what you goal should be? I am 53 years old and know I won't ever

weigh what I did in my 20's and 30's, but how do you figure that out?

I also have a question about when you reach your goal and stay there

for ? weeks and become a lifetime member, someone told me you had to

stay within 2 pounds either direction. Is it true you cannot lose

any more? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Terri

What you said is exactly what I meant, perhaps I didn't phrase it

that way, sorry for the confusion.
