How long did you lurk before you took the WISH challenge?

Just curious. Did you lurk a while before you felt safe enough to post? Or did you jump in with both feet right off the bat, like I did?

Inquiring minds want to know.....

I lurked for a couple of months on and off. This past week when I got my real motivation to join weight watchers and join WISH I didn't hesitate to post right away.

Lurked on and off for about a month. Then was an occasional participant for about two months. Now I'm an active WISHER!

I started my commitment to stay healthy on April 1st and on April 6th found WISH- you can believe I JUMPED like a cat on a hot tin roof! I am sooo motivated by seeing the journey others are taking and by the unending support here- it truly is a blessing- hope any lurkers out there now will DIVE IN!!!

I lurked for about a week, as I had just started my weight loss jouney, and I was still figuring out how I was going to structure my new lifestyle (so to speak - it's not a diet!). After a few days, I knew that WISH would be a great support system for my efforts, and I jumped right in!

Over 5 weeks and 11 pounds later, I'm still going strong, working every day towards being healthy for life. Woo-hoo! Thanks, everyone!

A day or two of seeing the clippies and I joined with my own clippie. It was another few days, though, before I actually posted to the "sign in" thread. So my "start date" is actually about 5 days later than I actually began. WHO ME?? lol

I kept seeing the WISH weight clippies/signatures on other boards and finally checked out the WISH board. After visiting, I only waited a short while to join as I really liked what I found here. As much as we may not really know each other, there's a feeling of support, a connecting with a group experiencing many of the same challenges. The sharing of many things--advice, recipes, stories, pictures! and the ups & downs, etc. is so great in this weight-loss journey. The WISH board is now my favorite!

A couple of months I wish I had just started when I first signed up in January. I didn't start posting actively until July Oh well ... better late than never, right?

Hi
I lurked for about a week. Whenever I was looking at the Disboards I kept coming back to WISH.
So glad I found you all, never felt so confident that I am going to succeed and loose the weight that I want to.

I lurked for about a month-on and off- before taking the WISH challenge. I lurked a lot the week before I joined!! At first I just wasn't sure that I was ready to make the committment to get healthier and lose weight. But reading the posts of all the wonderful WISHers inspired me and let me know that I could do this, too!!! I haven't looked back since!!!

If anyone is lurking out there and reading this: You can do this, too!!! I was the poster child for bad eating-no exercise habits!! If I can change, anyone can!!

I lurked for a few weeks on and off before jumping in - thanks for encouraging me to Tammy! (PartofSix) I loved reading all of your posts and knew it was time to get serious about losing weight myself and what better place than with DIS friends! So glad that I found the WISH board - everyday it motivates me to keep working toward my goal!

I found WISH at the beginning of Aug. and I have never looked back. I have so far lost 18lbs. The support and advice is second to none, so if there are any lurkers out there reading this jump right in, hopefully you will never look back!!
