Hi! Wish Newbie, here!

[mowsie dreamer]

Hi everybody! After lurking this Board a bit, and reading all the inspirational messages, I decided to take the plunge! At least I'm hoping for a plunge--in weight, that is. I think I am just finally at the point where NOT doing something about my weight is making me miserable and I am determined to make this happen.
I am tired of feeling tired!!!

I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting last night. It's been years since I did WW and I think I'm really going to like the point system. It seems to really put me in control of what I eat and gives a lot of flexibility. The exercise part will be harder for me--I tend to avoid it at all costs--but I am going to do it!

I just wanted you all to know that you are wonderful! Reading your posts have really made me feel like I can do this, too!

WELCOME mowsie dreamer!

Welcome!! Glad to have you join this fun and friendly group!

I found Weight Watchers is the right thing for me too and am trying to become a master of the one point snacks!

There are WW recipes above and if you would like to have a WISH Board buddy, let Jiminy know and she will set you up, it really helps keep me on track!

<b>mowsie dreamer</b> I'm so glad to see you here on WISH. I could really use you in my support group. I have lots of weight to lose and I need all the help I can get

How great that you will be following the WW point system, we have lots of WISHers who are WWs and they are ready, willing and able to answer any questions you might have about the program.

The best part of WISH is the support group, which is made up of some very caring people who are wonderful problem solvers. My support group is composed of people following every imaginable eating plan. The support is there for you whether you eat the WW way or the low carb way or just eating sensibly. We all have a common goal and we all understand <i>exactly</i> what challenges WISHers face because we have all been there before.

I think you are going to like it here. WISH is a friendly, caring and motivational forum. I love it, it has helped me so much and kept me on the path to goal. I'll bet you find lots of help here too.

You can add the WISH challenge clipart to your signature if you want, there is a very helpful post written by wovenwonder telling you how to do that right <b>HERE</b>. The WISH clipart is exempt from the clipart guidelines, isn't that great?

If you haven't already done so, would you post to our challenge thread? That can be found <b>HERE</b>. If you will post to this before your next WW meeting you could be trading up to that 5 pound loss clippie soon. We start with a zero loss when we take the WISH challenge and then every time we lose 5 pounds we can get a new clipart. If you wait to take the challenge until after your first weigh in you can't count that loss, see what I mean? It's fun trading up to new cliparts.

I'm so glad that you are going to be with us now, here on WISH. We have lots of fun and <b>lots</b> of success here. Now you will too. Hope you are ready to succeed because that's what we do here

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome. I can see that I am in the right place! I just hope that I don't wear out my welcome by whining TOO much these next few days as I adjust to my new eating habits and start my exercise program!

I've been looking at the WW recipe thread that is stuck to the top of the board and I can hardly wait to get started making some of them. I think I will even be able to make them for my family & they won't be able to tell "diet" from "real". The Tips thread has also given me some good ideas!

Katholyn, thank you for letting me know about the WISH Challenge and the clippies. When I make it to 5 lbs. I very definately want to be able to show off a new clippie. I am going to work on my "member" clippie tonight when I get home from work (after I take my walk!).

Thank you again for being there! I'm off to post to the Challenge thread.
