Re-rejoining WW tomorrow am

[QueenTrident]

Well, after getting a bunch of presents that I can't fit into (not sure how DH figures I'm a regular medium, when I'm actually a size 18), I've decided to rejoing WW (again).

So, 8:30 tomorrow morning, I'll be re-dedicating myself to a healthier lifestyle. I may even try to hit the gym after my meeting, since I've been paying them for the last few months and haven't gone once. Even if I do the elliptical machine for 20 minutes, it's something right?

Anyway, thanks for the inspiration of these boards. I've been reading them all week and really feel like this is something I can do.

GO JENN!

I'm starting Atkins on Thursday...we have a big party to attend new years eve, my cousins home on his last leave before his 18 month tour in Iraq.

Go to the meeting, and then head to the gym, you'll be back in a routine in no time!....All those christmas presents are a heck of a motivator arent they!...

Good luck

Way to go!!!

WW is wonderful!!! I joined Vday in 2001 and lost 30 lbs and became LT within the year....I had a baby 10/31/02 and have yet to get myself back into it!! I commend you on your decision and fully support you!!! Maybe we should start a WW support thread? Or is there one?

 

[SnackyStacky]

QueenTrident, you can do it!

The new FlexPoints works so well into everyday living. (Even if I do tend to Flex-out, as it were!)

With the support at the meetings, and here on WISH, you're sure to succeed.

doing the elliptical for 20 minutes would not be "something".
it would be a LOT!!
After taking a break it's so hard to get started again.
A personal trainer once told me the hardest part of any workout is walking through the Gym Door, once you are there the rest will just come....

 

[DoeWDW]

I agree 100% with Alex. Just showing up is 90% of the battle!!

You go, girl!! We'll be here cheering you on!!

 

[QueenTrident]

I went to WW. Got there and realized I had forgotten my wallet. So, went back home and instead of saying, there's always next week, got back in my car and registered! And, there was free registration, so I didn't even need my wallet, since I had $15 on me. Oh well.

Another good thing - I weigh 7 lbs less that I thought I did (when I initially joined in October). So, yay!

Then, I went to the gym and did 30 minutes of ellipitical. I stayed at the top end (not over) of my heart rate range.

I feel so pumped right now! I'm already making my grocery list.

Thanks for all the support!

Great job!!

 

[KathyTX]

Yay, Jenn!!!

Another WW here. We're going to hit the new year with new attitudes and new commitment!!

I'm so glad to have another WW sister here to keep me motivated and on track!

I've been "flexing out" lately, as Snacky-Stacky puts it! But my goal was to not gain during the holidays, and to start fresh with the new year, so I'm not feeling guilty.

We're ready! We can do this! We're going to have you looking GRAND in those MEDIUMS your sweet hubby gave you before you know it!!!

Good for you! I'm also on the WW program and I love it! I've been telling all of my friends and family during the holidays what a great program it is.

I like that term too ... I've been "flexing out" on some of the holiday goodies that people have been bringing over.

Way to go Jenn
You are doing great

 

[ibouncetoo]

Congratulations! Tho I'm a low carber, my sister is on WW and absolutely loves it. The great thing about WW is it teaches you how to eat real food in the real world and how to work your favorite foods into your eating plan. Be sure and check out more than one meeting.....shop around for the best leader and best group...though you'll have plenty of wonderful support here on WISH! Sometimes it's easier to talk about some issues here than it is in a 'real' life.
Not that we're unreal, more like we're SUPERreal!

Way to go Jenn!

Congrats on starting back and going to the Gym. This is such a great time of year to get back into the swing of things. You are going to look great in those new clothes real soon!

I LOVE the flexing out term!!!! Oh boy have I done that. Several times a week probably!!!! But today is a new day!!! Welcome to WISH!!!!

 

[QueenTrident]

I've tried everything and WW is really the only thing that has ever worked. I love the new plan. I haven't needed to flex out yesterday or today, but I'm glad to know I can.

So, is there a WW support thread or do people just post questions, thoughts, etc individually? I'm not really sure how to use the Wish boards yet.

Thanks!

Welcome, Jenn!

We're just one big WISH family here. We find that most of our issues are not specific to what diet or eating plan we're on. We talk a lot about exercise, drinking water, and other healthy habits that are common to all of us.

Of course, you'll get lots of good Weight Watchers specific information, too! If you have a question that is WW specific, it's helpful to stick WW in the thread title. I also find it helpful when someone's eating plan is somewhere in their signature. Just helps me figure out where they're coming from sometimes.

But to get started, sign up for the WISH challenge on the thread at the top of the page titled "Take the DIS WISH Challenge Here!" Then follow the instructions to add your WISH member clipart to your signature.

Read as much as you like, and just jump in whenever you want to.

You've picked the PERFECT time to join. Lots of WISHers are still on vacation. Next week will probably be pretty busy around here, so you'll get to meet everybody then!

Welcome, Jenn. I'm glad you found us!

Welcome, Jenn! I'm following the WW program, too, though I'm not attending regular meetings right now. You'll find tons of support here and lots of friendly people.

Good luck in creating a new you for the new year!
