OK...count me in...

[jbix00]

I'm glad I found this part of the board...count me in! I have about 80 pounds to lose and my health depends on it. Will be looking forward to the support here!

I will be doing WW (tried it before, lost a lot of weight, gave in to the dark side of the force & gained it back!).

WELCOME!!!!!!!

I hope you stay and enjoy a while. It is a great group over here, and there is a ton of good advice and support. Lots of programs here to choose from. PM Jiminy and you can get a pm buddy to help you with your weight loss.....kinda of eachothers mentor. We also have a check in thread weekly and a clipart to show our progress. Feel free to pick the beginner clippie up.

Good luck, and glad that you found us. Good luck on your adventure

welcome to our family of LOSERS!

we have a journal thread if you'd like to start your own, just be sure to let us know in the heading if you'd like comments or not!

Also, can you put "Weight Watchers" somewhere in your sig by the WISH clippie, it's easier to reply to other's posts when you know the plan they're on

are you doing WW on your own or going to meetings? We have folks both ways here!

also, Vija starts a new thread every Wed for WW challenges - this week we are finished up a "drink at least 6 glasses of water each day" challenge! join in if you'd like too

oops, that sounds bossy - i hope not! just trying to help you jump on in!

WELCOME to WISH!!! Nice to meet another WWer! I love the program!

Hope you make yourself cozy and post often! We'd love to share in your journey. Good luck!!! You KNOW you can do it. I've done it before and then "gave in to the dark side" and put it back on, but this time I'm going to reach my goal and MAINTAIN!!!

Welcome to the DIS, jbix00, and a very special welcome to WISH, I'm so glad you have decided to join us.

There are lots of WWs here and we have a huge support group made up of lots of caring and emotionally generous people who are on all kinds of different eating plans. It is such a help to me. I'll bet you will find our support group helpful too. Now you will be part of my support group too. That is just wonderful news.

You can add the DIS WISH challenge member clipart to your signature if you like. There is a terrific post by our own Wovenwonder telling you how to do that right <b>HERE</b>. As you progress along your road to good health you will be replacing that clipart with new clipart for each five pounds you lose. So, don't get too attached to the member clipart, I have an idea you will be trading up to the 5 pound loss clippie very soon

Now, no lurking allowed. I need you to participate here on WISH, it helps me to read posts by other WISHers. What? You thought I was altruistic? Not at all, I'm pretty selfish when it comes to WISH. You help me and I'll help you and we'll both have a lot of fun doing that

Okay, ready? Set? <b>Go!</b> Get ready to <b>succeed</b>. You're a WISHer now and I'm so very glad If you need some help or encouragement just look behind you, everyone of us will be there waiting and all you have to do is ask.

Onward and downward!

Welcome to the WISH Board!! Glad you could join us!! We have lots of fun here and there is so much support on this board!! YOu will love it!!

Thanks everyone for the welcome! I feel at home already!

I used to go to the WW meetings, but I work full time, am attending college full time after work, and helping my understanding wife raise our 2 DDs and running them around to their activities. On top of that, I'm a volunteer firefighter/EMT whenever I can squeeze that in. THAT is 90% of my weight problem - grabbing fast food on the run and filling the meal voids with junk from the candy machine monster.

I know how the program works, my only need was the motivation I was getting from the weekly meetings that I won't be attending...enter W.I.S.H.! It looks like I'll be getting all the support I can handle!

Looking forward to posting and sharing with everyone!

Jeff
