This is so great! I think it’s the kick in the ass that I needed to get back on track. I hope to go rejoin sometime in the next week or so.

You go girl!
Looking forward to getting to know you better.
Rose ‘n’ Rasha gettin’ in shape!
** Eve, ** I found the same aggravating thing that you did. I’d been working out three-four days a week and GAINED weight, but the wise thing would be to measure yourself rather than weigh in, since the scale can be more off than a tape measure can be. It really helped a lot. Keep up the good work! Which is what it IS, W-O-R-K!! Why do the gym commercials have everyone smiling anyway??? 
<- THAT is how they ought to look, if it was more realistic!
Congrats, Canty! I, too, am doing Weight Watchers. I lost 11 pounds my first week. Now, I know that seems excessive but up until the day I went to my first meeting, I wasn’t really doing anything to lose weight so it was all water weight. Anyway, I have been going for nine weeks as of Thursday morning and (not counting my weekly weigh-in in about 6.5 hours) I have lost 14 lbs. I had a really bad week where I gained back 5 pounds! But I kept going and I am losing again! Keep us updated and keep up the good work!
Congratulations Canthearya!! Keep up the good work! Even when you have a bad week, and gain a few pounds back, remember that what you’re doing this for is not because you want to be on the cover of a magazine, or making someone else happy. You’re doing this for yourself, and to be healthy and comfortable with your body.
I’m not a member of WW, but on a weight-loss program. I need to lose about 70 pounds, and have lost 12 so far. Not on a real diet, but eating better–and going to the gym 4 to 5 times a week. It’s hard to do this, since I’m in culinary school (and in baking–I’m around cakes and sugar every day!), but I’ve learned to only taste, not eat platefuls, like what I was doing when I started out.
Make sure you put a little exercise in your schedule–it steps up your metabolism, and, it’s good for your heart. You may want to consider weight training, if you have a slow metabolism, since for every pound of muscle you have, you burn more calories down the road. I’m not talking about turning yourself into one of those greased-down, leather-tanned, bulging-vein, bikini-clad muscle women, either. Besides, to get to that point, you have to push yourself waaaaay beyond what’s normal exercise. Do stuff like lift light weights and maybe take a yoga class. You’ll notice the difference in about a month.
Canthearya - turn around, I think I found it.
JK - a bad old joke, but one of my faves.
Congrats. My wife says WW is the most sensible and healthy system she has tried.
Course she doen’t like to discuss my current efforts to gain weight!
