Thinking of joining WW this weekend....

[phins_jazy]

but I've got a question. Since I'm going to start going to meetings on sat or sun, what happens when I decide to go out of town for the weekend? Can I go to another meeting sometime during the week and not have to pay the extra $11 for missing my "normal" meeting?

I've got about 90 lbs to lose and my dr gave me a prescription for xenical to lose weight but at $132 a month I chose not to do it. I think WW will be the better way to go.

Wish me luck!!!!

I have been going to WW for almost 1 yr now. I have lost 30 lbs. I am so happy with the program. I go Sat. mornings and have had that problem. You can go anytime during the week if you will be missing. Also (fyi) after you have gone for 6 months (i think) you get 2 free passes. These you can use if you aren't able to make it and you will not have to pay for the week(s) you missed. Any other questions let me know... I also have quite a bit to loose also... I have about 30 more to loose. Just keep your head up and go for it!

Hi DisneyGal358! Will you be joining our support group here on WISH? I sure hope so. It's good to see you here.

Misty --

We are in the same boat! My doctor prescribed Xenical, but it was too expensive. I joined WW, and am glad I did. WW would cost about $40 a month, as opposed to $139 for Xenical.

I recommend WW. At least it teaches you how to eat properly.

Good luck Misty! Let us know how it goes for you. Remember that the first week is always the hardest. Once you get thru week one you will be well on your 'weigh'!

Welcome to WISH!

I've been on WW since September (this time) and I love it. I've lost 29lbs and still have about 27 to go. I think I might actually make it to goal this time. I definitely recommend WW.

Good Luck phins_jazy

Hi, Misty!

You just need to attend any WW meeting sometime within each week. A week begins on Sunday and ends Saturday (I assume it's the same for all WW areas, but I'm not positive.)

What happens when I decide to go out of town for the weekend? Can I go to another meeting sometime during the week and not have to pay the extra $11 for missing my "normal" meeting?

Is the $11 a fine for missing a meeting, or just the normal meeting dues? In my area (Dallas/Ft.Worth), you pay for any meetings you missed, but there's no extra fine.

Hi, Misty!

I think you will enjoy WW! Just wanted to say good luck! I'm doing it at home and I love it! It is wonderful!!!

Hope you enjoy!

I love the WW plan and I hope that you will find it working well for you.

I lost almost 30 pounds following WW before I got pregnant with my DS. It was the most successful I had ever been with losing weight and it really didn't seem as hard as the previous other diets I had tried and failed at. I am now back at it again and I am still enjoying it!

Good Luck and I hope to see you around the WISH board!!!

Thanks for all the wonderfully warm welcomes. I'm bound and determined to get this weight off once and for all. I know with your help I can do it!!!

Misty:

I have to recommend WW, too. I've lost almost 15 pounds in about 6 weeks! It's definitely a great way to make you think about what you're eating. And some of the recipes I've tried are fantastic!

When you go in to join, see if they have any package "specials" in your area. When I joined, I paid $99 for 10 weeks. It included one pass for a missed meeting, so I didn't have to pay when I was out of town for a week! It also had one pass for skipping my weigh-in, in case I felt I was "bad" for a week.

When I finish these 10 weeks, I think I'll purchase another 10, which will hopefully get me to goal and through maintenance!!!

Good luck!
