Hi everyone and good luck with your fitness and weightloss goals. I am new to this site. My sister, Linda, was the one to introduce me to it. I have been on a diet for practically my whole life. Mostly I have failed in my attempts. I was successful quite a few years ago when I joined Weight Watchers. I have gone up and down on the scale, but now I am at my heaviest. Looking for some friends to speak with who can keep my mind set on a success. My sister has recently lost over 50 pounds with diet and exercise. And, as we all know that is exactly the way to be successful at losing or maintaining a healthy weight. This is day three for me.

    Oh, click on their name and their profile should come up. It should then say "send a message" or "add as friend."

    Hi Rosemarie,

    I wish you well in achieving all your goals. This is a great site, people are friendly and you will always find an answer to your questions. It's fantastic that this site is free I'm sure you will enjoy using it.

    I always felt hungry when I was on weight watchers, and now it's rare that I feel hungry. You soon come to appreciate the taste of your food and actually enjoy your meals. I have learnt to know my cut off point and actually feel full.

    Being praised by other people even for the smallest weight loss or for the time spent exercising is a real boost.

    Good luck and take care!!

    Yes, I just have to stay on track. I like that I have access at work, this way I don't have to wait until I get home.

    Hi Alison,

    How are you doing? Two weeks in and thankfully for the past few days I have been watching the eating and exercising. I know that exercising is the key. What part of England are you from? I guess right now every thing is aflutter with the Prince getting married.

    Hope you are doing well. Take care.

    Rosemarie
