Well I did it. Yesterday I joined W. Watchers. After years of things taking it's toll on my life and health I stepped out and decided to really try this with a good effort.

Today is day one. So far, I am doing what is expected with the points and all. I just hope that this works and can help with some of my current health and weight issues.

I have heard good things, and it is safe for diabetics too.

Lora, good for you! I hope it works for you. I know many people who have had great success. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of them.

Keep us posted on your progress! :)

If you follow their plan and stick with it, it will work. I've been on weight watchers since last March and have lost 43 pounds so far.

My daughter thinks it is one of the best balanced plans. I wish you well on it.

Good luck with it Lora

I am not sure what I am going to do. I still need to lose 80 pounds and the diet pills the "fat doctor" has me on are just not working anymore. But then again, they were only for short term use and I have been on them for close to a year.

Wow, Lora! You can totally do it now that you've started. You have the best support around with us here on Gather. :) Think "thinner Lora".
Good luck!

Thank you everyone. Today is day one, and so far. So good. I appreciate all your kind words. God Bless

Good Luck Lora. I know a couple of work colleagues who have done weight watchers and they have done great without feeling hungry. Keep us posted so we can provide motivation :-)

I have heard great things too! As they say, it is all about attitude and you have a good one, so I am sure that you will do well!
Shaunee C. Jan 30, 2008, 10:09pm EST
Best of luck I have been thinking about joining it myself. Let us know how thing go.

Good luck!!! We had WW at work and I kept going after our 2 sessions finished. I made lifetime in 2005. It is a lifestyle change. Even after you meet your goal, you still have to work at staying at your goal. You can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My best friend lost a lot of weight on Weight Watchers. She really loved it!


It's a very easy plan to stick to. Once you see the results from any positive lifestyle change, it'll encourage you to keep going!!!!!!'

You are worth it, Lori!

that is great Carol

Congratulations! I've never done Weight Watchers but I know a lot of people who have, or are still doing it. It is very successful as long as you stick with it, go to the meetings or go online to the forums. People egging you on is so important. Also since it is not a diet, but a way of learning to eat, it is more successful.

Good luck.

I wish you the best of luck, i have heard good things about WW as well as other means of weight loss. We just set up our garage as a work out area and picked up weights and an exercise bike and gazelle.....now i Just need to get away from soda and I should be good.
