Is this okay?

Okay, so I tried doing the whole counting calories things for me and it just didn't work me, so I basically gave up for awhile. So about 2 weeks ago, I joined Weight Watchers and I've lost 4.4lbs already, and still need to weigh-in this week on Friday or Saturday. If I am doing that, and a part of this group should I not be here. I don't want to leave, but if you members don't agree with it that is understandable too. I think we all know that you have to find out what works best for you, and counting points is easier for me than counting calories. So I guess I am wondering is it okay to still be a member of this board even if I'm doing weight watchers?

    Of course it is! You still need motivation and friends to talk about your struggles with. No one would ever alienate you for finding a way that works better for you. Congratulations, by the way!

    Thats good to know that i'm in the clear with this situation.

    I was seriously contemplating coming back because I was so worried that the members wouldn't like it if I did this. LIke they would think I was trying to promote WW on here or something, yeah I have anxiety and get nervous.

    But, I'm happy that I have the support here that I do.

    Another thing you might enjoy is all the onging challenges we have here on MFP right now...they have just started a BLoser challenge but I would think anyone could stil jump in and join since it's just starting up. I believe the show itself start the 6th?

    There's also a pushup challenge and probably way more than I know about... joining challenges gets the excitement going when losing or changing habits or adding in particular strength excercies...because you're doing a sort of group activity and have lots of cheerleaders on your team, cheering one another on:drinker:

    just a thought:flowerforyou:
