Hi everyone, My name is Lori and I'm a 35 yr old, married mother of 2 kids, and work full time as a medical coder sitting at a desk all day long. I did weight watchers about ten years ago before I had the kids, and it went really well. Lost about 50 pounds over a one year time period. I don't know anything about the new 360 program. Going to my first meeting and weigh in on Wed. I haven't weighed in a couple weeks but I'm guessing I'm pretty close to 250 pounds on a 5 ft 4in frame. I've been on MFP for about a year and have been doing the calorie counting off and on, but haven't done very well with it. Managed to lose 20 lbs and gain it right back. uggghh......
My goal weight is to get to around 130 or 135 and be healthy.
I enjoy exercising but really struggle to schedule it in. Really have to make that a priority.
Best wishes to everyone in this New Year!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Jane. I'm 60 year old Mother of 2, Grandmother of 3 teenagers.. I've been caring for several friends and family members through palliative care over the past few years..

The grieving process has added over 60+ pounds on me and it's effecting my health. I've decided to make a huge change this year but require some buddies to help me with the process.

My goal is to lose 50 lbs. for now... and hopefully run/walk a marathon next year...that's if my R/arthritis allows it.. weight loss might help with that issue

I've never tried WW, but have heard good things.

Current weight 208
goal weight 150

Trying to figure out how to add photo, it's coming soon.

Hi All,

I'm Alison I live in the UK near London. I did Weightwatchers, the original plan, a couple of years ago and went from 215lb to 154lb over 18 months or so. Managed to keep it off until recently but an injured ankle stopped me exercising for the past four months and I've managed to gain 12lb or so. So back to it using MFP with the the WW bolt on to track points the original way. I'm off on holiday at the end of Feb so would like to get back down to something near 154 by then!

I plan to weigh in tomorrow and go from there. Will hope to start exercising as well, just got to get the go ahead from the physio next week.

Alison

Hi,
I'm Aleks. I will be 39 (eeek) on the 8th. I've been doing WW points pus on and off since it started. Twice I've done pretty well and then turned back to food and regained back everything plus some. I also tried MFP and calories but I just hate counting calories and actually don't mind counting points.

I'm 5"3 and currently 220-222 pounds (will weigh in tomorrow morning) and I would love to get down to 130. I'm on a LOT of psych meds due to bipolar disorder and one of them put 50 pounds on me in under 2 months years ago and I've been told by both pdoc and therapist that these meds will affect my weight loss so even 150 would be great!

I'm also on meds for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, rapid heart rate and reflux so I desperately HAVE to lose this weight. I've also been dealing with back injuries (protruding discs) for the last few years that have really affected my ability to do a good workout but I am getting a recumbent bike tomorrow and got a hiking staff for Christmas so this year will be great for working out. Also love workout DVD's and will start to add those in slowly.

I have 3 boys (16, 14 and 12) and my husband was diagnosed with laryngeal cancer almost a year ago (he has never smoked and is only 40). The cancer was removed, came back 6 months later, was removed again this past October and will hopefully stay away this time but that also majorly affected my unhealthy eating habits because I used food to make myself feel better.

Anyway, that's the basic story beside the fact that I use food as a comfort and a friend and really, really need to stop doing that.

I'm starting fresh tomorrow with a new weigh-in and, well, basically a new plan and it will definitely be WW.

Glad to meet you and all I plan on participating here often!!

Hi! I'm Caitlin. I joined Weight Watchers in September 2012 and today is actually my 500th day logging into MFP. I've been constantly battling a stress fracture in my leg and it is very slowly healing (going on about 8 months) I have finally made it back to the gym for cardio but am only operating at 75%. This has been the heaviest I have ever been (185lbs) and I am bound and determined to get back in shape. My goal weight for now is 160lbs. Add me if you like! I love new friends

Happy New Year !!
I'm Coco. Mommy of 1. Currently a stay at home mom looking to rejoin the work force. Glad to be finally dropping this weight.
I did WW back in 2007 and 2010.I joined MFP over a year ago and its been a process. My highest weight was 303. My current weight is 209. My goal weight is to be anywhere between 145/160.

How nice to find a Vintage Points group!

I'm an old-school WW enthusiast, I've had amazing results on plan and I'm looking to just shift the little bit I've gained from not being on plan for the last 2 years.

All motivation greatly welcomed!

Lots of info about my on my profile, including a link to my blog.
