in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I just found this site and think it looks great. I have joined in hopes of meeting a lot of new and wonderful fellow weight watcher friends and getting as well as giving support. I have tried lots of sites but I truly think this one looks the most promising and since it is free one certainly cannot say the cost is prohibitive. I am a divorced 62 year old mother and grandmother with a lot of health problems which all can be greatly helped if not completely eliminated by significant weight loss so I am ready to get started and am more committed than ever this time around to stick to it. I look forward to meeting you all and getting to know you. Have a wonderful and restful night and Ill see you in the morning. Toodles for now, Sandi:happy:

    Hi Sandi, you will enjoy this site. Welcome to our journey. You will be amazed at the calories you eat daily. I have found this site especially helpful in keeping track of what I am eating. Good luck.

    Good Morning Sandi!

    I think you will enjoy using this site. Having a place for a food diary has helped me a lot. I used to be on WW but with the economy I decided this would work just as well for me.

    I heard the other day: Don't drink your calories. Drink lots of water. I like plain seltzer water. I get the fizz w/out the calories. We have practically cut out sodas in our house. My friend's son lost 15 pounds in no time just cutting out his sodas. (of course he's 16 1/2 yrs old and has a high metabolism but still).

    Mush success to you!

    Cindy

    :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Welcome, Sandi,

    This is a great site.......besides weighing and measuring your food and getting good exercise, it would help to find a supportive group on MFP so you have friends who want to hear from you every day and want to hear about your weight loss success and failure........The Women 50+ and Senior Golden Sneakers are two great groups that have helped me a lot. There are lots of great groups with challenges and support

    Take it one day at a time
    Take baby steps
    Stay open minded to new ideas
    Drink a lot of watere:drinker: :drinker:
