Joined the WISH challenge on 9/2 and I have been so inspired by everyone on this board. It's been a rough few weeks for me. My father passed away on 8/24 and I thought that grief would curb my appetite, but it only made it worse. I just decided that it was time to do something about the 30 lbs I gained back from the 40 I previously lost on WW. So, I' doing WW on my own and the first 5 days have been successful. So, wish me luck. I am inspired by all of you out there who are on the same journey that I am.

I'm so sorry to hear about your father. You need to take your time and grieve in the manner that you need to grieve. No one else can go through this for you, only with you.

Glad to see you joined us here at WISH! It's an inspiring group, full of upbeat and motivated "losers". I'm sure you'll fit right in. Good luck with WW and counting those points! Seems like a fun and simple program. You can do this. And you know you can because you've done it before!

Visit here often for support and positive feedback. It's great having you!

Honey, I know you must miss your father very much. What a huge loss for you. My mother was near death three times between 7/1 and 8/18. She survived but I know the pain you must be feeling, now.

We have lots of WISHers who are doing WW on their own. I know they are ready to help you along the road to goal with information and recipes. The rest of your support group is here for you, too. We're always here for you. Don't forget that part, it's the magic of WISH. If you need us, we'll be right here.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I can truthfully say that I understand. I lost my dad in 1999 at the age of 51. I was 30 at the time. i did the same thing as you, I just started eating anything and everything. I also thought that I would lose my appetite, but it didn't happen.

Make sure that you grieve in the way that you need to and don't just block it out. Feel free to PM me anytime if you need to chat.

I'm glad that you are joining us here and it is very possible to have success doing WW on your own at home. That is what I am doing now and it hasn't been a problem. The WISH board here is so supportive and you can get great tips and wonderful inspiration.

Sending PD your way.

Thank you all for your kind words of comfort. It is wonderful to know that there are caring people out there, whom you've never met, who will reach out to a stranger in need. I feel I am truly blessed. Thank you so much.

I'm sorry to hear about your father. You have to take your time and grieve in your own way.

My father passed away 2 years ago. Looking back I just ate anything and everything as well.

I only joined WISH last week to - everyone is really nice and supportive here.
