Hi all,

I'm a married grandmother of 4 who is 1/2 way through an RN program. I had started with Weight Watchers last year and lost 40 lbs. Once my clinicals started I was unable to get to my regualr meeting night and slid off the wagon. I regained -50- lbs.

I won't get through the program or be an effective nurse if I don't get a handle on my weight/lifestyle. I look forward to meeting you all on my journey.

Hi Nancy, and welcome to the best site on the web!
I've also done the Weight Watchers thing over the years, as well as Over Eaters Annon., etc, and nothing ever worked for long. BUT, THIS place is different, and I just know that I CAN do it this time AND live with it forever.
That's why here, we all call it a "lifestyle change", instead of a diet. Just the word diet makes my skin crawl, lol, cuz right away, you think the word "deprived"! But here you don't feel that. You CAN pretty much eat whatever you want, just watch your daily food log numbers, cut down on some portions, and exercise, and the weight WILL come off. I promise!
