Signing Up for WW in the AM, am scared

[RachaelRol]

Tomorrow morning I'm signing up for WW again. I did it a coulple years ago and lost 47 pounds. I've gained 40 of them back :guilty:

I'm a little scared and already want to back out because I'm afraid to get on the scale. Is it me? Or has anyone else gone through this?

i did last tuesday -- and quite frankly i wasn't prepared for the number i saw, but after the shock i realized i knew it deep down i was just in denial

its ok -- it really is just a number - a means to measure your future success :)

i'm re-losing the weight i lost in 2003 on WW but it's just being real and now i'm moving onward and downward. i think mentally you are ready or you wouldn't be here or going to the WW meeting and i'm PROUD of you. hang tight, this will be the last time you EVER see that dreaded number on your scale again!

Thanks for the encouragement!! What is the WISH challenge?

Good luck - I'm sure you will do fine. They are so supportive there! I went in for my first weigh in this past December and I was shocked to learn how much I gained but that's okay I was this much once before and it didn't take me long to get my weight down and I know I can do it again!

Please post and let us know how you made out :)

Lost five pounds!!!! Also learned about one point cupcakes. Take a store brand cake mix and mix in a can of diet Coke for chocolate and diet sprite for white cake. Result is yummy 1 point cupcake according to my WW group. I haven't tried it yet, but they all said it was delicious.

Congrats on losing 5 lbs!!! WOW!!!

That recipe sounds great-- 1pt??!!?? Do you know how many cupcakes you have to make out of the cake mix for them to be 1pt, though??

[RachaelRol]

Not sure, but its a goos point. I think a box says it makes 24 cupcakes. I've ever only gotten 15 at most from a box. ( Obviously part of the reason why I need WWs.....) :rotfl: I'm going to make some today. I'll let you know later when I calculate.
