Re: Welcome Debby

OH OH OH!! Welcome Debby! I am SO glad that you are here! We are the SAME

height & have the SAME goal weight... WOO HOO! My all time high was 354, so

I wasn't much below were you are now. Last Monday, I was at 330.2, so I am

24lbs down from there.

I 'officially' started WW on January 17, 2005. I have lost 19 lbs since

then because I was 349.2 at my first weigh in.

This IS doable, but not always easy. It is COMPLETELY about choices. I had

tried to do WW a few years back with the " at home " program, but just pretty

much threw the money away because I didn't even last a month. Again last

October I tried with WW online, but my gallbladder freaked out on me two

weeks into it. I had to have my gallbladder removed & then I quit.

A friend was starting up in January & I decided to join with her online

again... then another friend asked me to attend meetings here in town with

her, so I am... switched my online acct to an e-tools account because I like

having the online tools.

This time, it is MUCH different for me. Not sure what has changed in me,

guess I am just READY to be thin now.

I look forward to getting to know you... it is nice to have someone with the

same goals as me around! Perhaps we can help eachother.

Now, I know I am younger than you... I'll be 34 in May... but I have some

health issues that limit my activities, so we may be more " even " than you

think!

Again, so happy you are here!

Thank you so much for the welcome and I am excited too! I have

tried everything and even was in the 'original' WW's many years ago

when it was very strict. I was very young and it worked for me. Don't

know how I did it with a family and work, etc. Now I travel a lot

with my job and eat out a lot but hopefully I am much smarter about

my choices. I can't wait because I feel that this time I will be

successful. thanks again!

Debby,

You say you eat out a lot. I tend to do better WHEN I eat out. I plan

ahead and eat what is points friendly for me. Where at home I have this

unlimited supply of food and it is easy to snack all day.
