Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Having my best friend going to meetings with me has really been the key to my success. I was on WW once before, and lost & gained the same 3 pounds over & over. I skipped meetings a lot, and was in near tears for a lot of meetings from hearing others success while I was doing so badly. This time, I've never missed a meeting, I've lost 31.5 pounds, and the meetings are a positive experience for me. I don't think I would have stuck with it without my friend. She feels the same way about her success. I know we all have to really want this for OURSELVES, but sometimes having a friend to feel responsible to, and to show support for can make a huge difference. It has in my case. Congrats on you wonderful decision to join WW & good luck with your plan!

So, I am going to venture off to find a new Leader, meeting day, and time. I will probably do Saturday Mornings, but also pop my head in to listen to the Wednesday night leader Barb. She is excellent and motivated one of my other friends to lose close to 70 lbs (who has kept it off for two years). Go Val!!!! > > I am going to buy my best friend in the whole wide world (Jen) a membership to WW (yes, I did run this by her first...I wanted to make sure she was offended) so, we can do this journey togehter. The new package's come out Jan 8th, but I think we are going to sign up the last week of the year so, we can both wanted to start the New Year on the right foot. > > We have always dieted together and I told her enough diets...lets get on a program together that isn't a diet...WW.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Terra - Congrats on getting back on the program. I am also trying to get back on board and stay OP 100% for the rest of the month! I hope that we can encourage each other to stick with it. Your idea of having your friend join with you is such a great idea! Good luck! Tara G.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Rededicating myself to WW and getting Serious about WW again Hello All, I have been falling by the wayside a bit with all the holiday functions at work as well as outside of work. I haven't been eating out of control, but I haven't journaled or really exercised over the past couple of weeks...and boy I can tell a difference. Won't be able to dry the jeans for awhile. Hi Terra, You must have been reading my mind today as I was thinking the same thing. In the last month I moved from Indiana to Nevada back to Indiana and now I am in Germany. I was on the military shuttle bus and decided to get back on track tomorrow. I don't have a scale (mine is being shipped) and will be doing WW on my own as I don't know much German yet. I bought some bread, lunch meat and cereal the other day and will be eating that instead of going out. e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
