There's is no getting around it.

I checked and there is a Weight Watcher meeting in town tomorrow at 6 PM, so I'm going to go. I also saw online that I can purchase a monthly pass and that's roughly $9.33 a week. That I can afford. I'm gonna have to.

Good for you Janet. I heard Weight Watchers has the biggest success rates. Real diets, real food, for real people.

Hubby and I need to lose some weight too. He's been complaining about his weight for a few weeks now, worse than a woman. I havent been too motivated so I've been ignoring his comments. In the winter him and I just are not active.

Look forward to hearing about how your meeting went Janet.

I think that Weight Watchers is a really good way to lose weight. For me to go to the meetings I have to drive 45 miles so I've never gone. I can understand how you feel, Janet, because I feel the same way too. I'm going to start a diet soon too. I don't know what one yet.

My husband started back on his diabetic diet yesterday so I know that we can work together. Mostly I need to exercise. I think that I may go to the basement and look for my Richard Simmons exercise tapes. I really enjoyed working out to them years ago.

Janet,
Sheryl is right... baby steps...

WW is a good program, with sensible ideas to help you in this. If you can start with smaller goals and accomplish them, the bigger one will also be easier for you. If you focus on losing 101 lbs, it could seem so overwhelming that you make it harder for yourself.

No matter how disgusted you feel with yourself right now at least trying to do something about it. I have every faith that you can do it. Just do it sensibly so it's a healthy, lasting thing.

HUGS

I will tell you this though...if I screw it up this time, I promise never to mention dieting again. I'm not active in the winter either Sheryl, but I've walked on the treadmill two days in a row. Granted only 3 minutes each time...but I'll get there.

Diana, maybe you can join online and we can be WW buddies. The meeting starts at 6:00 this evening and I'm going. I am hoping that going to an actual meeting and getting out of the house will help me some too. Diana if you have any questions you'd like me to ask them for you, just let me know...before 5:00 PM. I know I won't be on the computer after that. It's only 7-8 miles to town..takes me about 15 minutes on good dry roads.

I have a Richard Simmons tape too, I'll have to hunt that up, I also have a Yoga tape and some others. Now I've got to go on and tape finding mission..lol

I really don't even know how Weight Watchers works. I know that there's point systems but I've never had it explained to me.

[Janet]

I don't want to tell you anything wrong, but if you check out the website, it should tell you. I really think I can do this, but I need the meetings and someone to help me.

I think meetings are great. It's support is helpful not to mention helps w/ being accountable. Every diet I've ever been on was more sucessful when I had to "check in".

Gees...I can't mention the word diet right now. I stopped at Sonic Burgers this am and ordered a double patty melt with a cherry lime aid. It was great while it lasted but the guilt lingers. Double edged sword at times huh?

Janet - You however can do this!
