Night Elf Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 At my Weight Watchers meeting this morning, I got a standing ovation and the tiara to wear during the meeting. I love my leader. She's such fun! It really does feel good to be a part of a group that acknowledges each other's goals. I first joined in December 2007 but stopped in March 2008 about 1 lb. away from my 10% goal. I thought I could do it on my own. Instead, I maintained until October and then began gaining some of the weight back. By the time I rejoined in December 2008, I had regained 10 lbs. I had to relose that and then lose one more lb. to get my 10%. So now I'm on track and totally focused. I will stick with my new lifestyle changes, reach my goal weight and become a lifetime member who attends meetings for free because I know that those meetings really help. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose in BC Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I have stuck with WW for two years now. It's not always easy but one thing that has definitely changed in my thinking is when I have slipped up I don't throw the whole lifestyle change out the window. I just keep going. In the past I'd have some slip ups and then say "well what's the point" and give up. That has been a big change for me and has allowed me to continue even through weight loss plateaus. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, tell all of us WW newbies - what are the 1 or 2 best tips you can share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 So, tell all of us WW newbies - what are the 1 or 2 best tips you can share? Honestly, I stopped thinking of WW as a diet. It's a total lifestyle change. I allow myself to eat anything I want because portion control and moderation have become much easier for me. I do not feel deprived and I stay happy and satisfied. I'm losing an average of 1 lb. per week which is in the safe zone. It's slow going but it's weight I plan to keep off. My rewards are clothes. I have hated shopping for so long due to my shape. I'm finally at a place where I enjoy trying on clothes again. In another 8 to 10 lbs. I'm going to have to move down another size, and that's great motivation to keep going! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
