Need some inspiration...

[2ndHnymnr]

I just saw a picture of myself taken last week...and can't believe how I look! I have struggled my entire life with weight, and joined weight watchers several years ago-lost about 45 lbs...and then quit. I have put most of those lbs back on- Now I need to lose about 70 lbs total.

I think I am going to join weight watchers again this week-but I am just hoping to have the strength, determination, and willpower to get rid of this weight once and for all!

Hello and welcome to WISH!

You came to the right place for inspiration, and motivation, and encouragement and support! Check out the threads that are "stuck" to the top of the board - there you'll find instructions for adding your WISH clipart to your signature.

I love WW, I think it's a great program. I started WW in March and lost about 21 pounds. I just did it using an old recipe book (pre points if you can imagine!) but I know that there are lots of people here following the points program who really enjoy it. I'm sure once you set your mind to it you'll be back in the swing of things!

Hope to see you posting often! We have a weekly check in thread started by Jiminy (Holly) every Sunday, and it's updated daily as everyone here weighs in on a different day. Make sure you check into the thread whether you lost, maintained or gained. It helps me stay focused!

well you've come to the right place for support and inspiration. I myself am not doing weight watchers I am doing atkins but I've seen only positive things come from it and you said you had seen positive results in the past. since you've done weight watchers before it should be easy to get back into it as opposed to starting a whole new diet and learning all the rules. I didn't have weight problems all my life and then i got sick and gained alot of weight. i started here on the boards and my diet around the same time and both are helping to make me happier, healthier and of course lots thinner. I wish you all the luck in the world and any questions, comments, or updates are welcome here in this happy place. again good luck to you

Have A Disney Day!!!!!!!

I know exactly what you are going through. Seeing pictures of myself is exactly what made me decide it was time to get off my lazy butt and lose weight.

It's a struggle, but I believe you can do it You've come to the right place for support.

First of all let me say welcome to the DIS and to WISH. If you are looking for inspiration and motivation, you have definitely stopped in the right spot. This board is filled with folks just like you at various stages of losing weight and getting healthy, from folks just starting out to people still on their quest to people who have reached their goal. With that said this great group of people always have something uplifting and encouraging for others and for me personally I feel this board is part of my success. I am on WW too and I have done the WW thing before, but this time it is different, I have more knowledge this time around and I have this wonderful support system to keep me going. This is a place where you can be accountable, but somewhat annoymous. This is the first place I was ever able to be honest about my exact weight and my struggles because here you have that annonominity (sp?), yet you tend to get to "know" other WISHers and you begin to feel like you belong, yet you can still be annoymous at the same time. (If that makes sense). So grab a clippie, join WW and join in the quest to move onward and downward.

BTW, I see you are from Middletown, I am from Orange County too, but live in Italy right now. I was raised in Warwick and my DH was raised in Goshen! Small world.

I just wanted to thank you all for your words of encouragment! I also wanted to let you all know that I bought 10 weeks of WW in advance online and plan to attend my first meeting tonight!

Tiggerlover-yes it is a small world! I work in Florida, NY-and my best friend is from Goshen!

Here goes nothing...
