I used to kind of snicker at people who went to Weight Watchers, but I have been converted to a believer! I have been fighting the battle of the bulge for a while now. As a teen, I never had to think about weight, but oddly enough, as I got older, I kept packing it on My doctor finally told me I needed to lose, so I tried the online weight watchers. Oh, and I had tried Atkins a couple of times. Worked like charm, but then I fell off and the weight came back on. Finally, in June, I decided that I needed the accountability of the meetings and weekly weigh ins. I have met many wonderful people by attending the meetings and we share lots of ideas. Long story short...I have lost just a little over 24 pounds since June and going strong. I would highly recommend Weight Watchers to anyone wanting to lost weight in a healthy way. Anybody else have a similar experience?

Actuallly, I'm in Katy. But it really is a very workable plan. You don't deny yourself anything, you just have to plan for it. Also, you have two plans to choose from. If anyone has been sitting on the fence, I'd say give it a try. Sometimes they have a special offer where you can attend a meeting for free. Go to their website: weightwatchers.com and you can see what specials they are running.

Well, I like the weight watchers scales better than mine! It's another 1.4 pounds down making it an even 34. Now I feel better! I don't feel so guilty about some of that Halloween chocolate that I bought for someone else making into my tummy instead!!! Thanks for the words of encouragement! I don't mind speaking to myself occasionally on this thread if no one else minds!!!

Just keep thinking about how much better you feel and how much better you look and it will keep you motivated to keep going.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting into some of the clothes in my closet that I haven't worn in a while...heck... I'm looking forward to getting some NEW clothes soon!!! I'm just really impressed with how workable this plan is. But I also have to say that I think our leader is a huge part of the reason that I keep going and keep on being successful. There have been a few times when she has been out...like today...her daughter FINALLY gave birth to a beautiful baby boy....and we have a substitute...I realize that I have really connected with her personality and the way she runs the meetings. I hope she doesn't retire any time soon!!!
