I decided today not to continue with WW for the next 10 weeks. (I do an at-work program with 10-week sessions.) It’s not that I’m not benefiting from the meetings and the resources: I am. It’s that money is tight around our house right now, and we are cutting back to “essentials only” for September and October.

I’ve been sticking with the Core Plan and am finding that it works well for the way I shop, cook and eat. I’m going to need some social support, though, and am trying to figure out how to get some of what the meetings offer for free.

So, I’ll be checking in here more frequently and plan to see what the WW message boards have to offer. I’ve heard about Sparkpeople somewhere (here maybe?) and am wondering if anyone has any opinions about that.

Or anything else that meets the criteria of “helpful” and “free.”

In other words, the opposite of a link to the Godiva chocolate homepage.
