Hello everyone. I joined this to make myself be accountable to more than just myself. I have 100 lbs. to lose and if I don’t get a good handle on it by 6 months time, I will proceed with gastric bypass surgery. I feel I have to try one more time to lose it (which I have done many times) and not gain it back. So….. I decided to go back to Weight Watchers, by myself (with promises from friends that they will go next week) because I am determined and will do this however or whatever it takes and for myself. If anyone wants to join me there, fine, and if not that is fine too. I weighed in and it wasnt as bad as I thought but I found I had regained the 15 lbs. I had lost before Christmas - story of my life, oh well.. but onward. So after the WW meeting, I went home, re-read the materials and thought about what to do for my morning routine. I got up earlier, took my time to get stuff together for work and fix my breakfast. Actually, I got off to a very good start, wrote everything down in my little WW Fast tracker thingy and did my own personal journal. I feel better this morning than I have in months, and I guess it just feels good to be doing something. Anyways, I look forward to getting to know the people on this site and send many thanks to Leanne for putting it up. Good Luck everyone on your weight loss.
