I never realized this forum was here.....

I think I have finally found the best place for motivation and encouragement.
I have never read so many supportive posts.

I was diagnosed with high BP in December (I'm 33) and my Dad has a hx since his 20's.
I joined Weight Watchers Online 12/18 and my dad and I joined the gym in January.
12 lbs have just fallen off and I was able to fit into my jeans comfortably this week.
Hopefully when I see my MD in May, I will have improved my overall health and BP.

Thanks for reading, I just felt the need to share.

Hi Erin and WELCOME to WISH! This board is filled with the most wonderful people who will give you all the support and encouragement you'll need to succeed in your weight loss/healthy lifestyle goals! I joined after my weight loss and am now maintaining, but how I wish I would've found this place sooner because these people keep me motivated to exercise and eat right every day (well, ALMOST every day)! I would not be doing as well as I am with my maintenance if it weren't for the awesome people here--WISH is just the best! We're so glad you joined us, Erin--please jump right in--and a BIG CONGRATS on your WW success so far!

Welcome to WISH, <b>Erin12303</b>! I'm so glad you found us and I hope that you can visit often.

Sounds like you've already had some wonderful success with WW. It's a great program and we have lots of WW WISHers.

If you haven't already done so, would you do me a favor and post to our WISH Challenge thread too? I use this thread to compose our member roster and if you don't post there I might leave you out. I would hate for that to happen.

You will find the challenge thread right <b>HERE</b>

I'm so glad you are going to be part of our family, now
