Hi everyone,

Just had some scary tests at the hospital and forget looking good, I seriously need to lose weight for health and for LIFE! I'm determined to stop blaming family history, my heavy travel schedule and other things I use to eat what I want and not exercise!

I hope you'll all help and I can be an encouragement, too. I did like Weight Watchers Online but couldn't afford it anymore. How nice to find you!

Pam

    Hey Shrinking Pam, I am a Pam too. i have been in weight watchers 10m times. This year, I lost and gained 20mpounds.
    Speaking of scary tests.... I had breast cancer that did not motivate me...Recently, I decided I want to get off pills for all the conditions that fat has caused. High cholesterol, triglicerides,high blood pressure and pre Diabetes. I started getting crackin with a trainer in Dec and have lost about 40 pounds.

    And I am 62 so it is never too late. I feel better and stronger, more energy, sleep better, etc.

    Keep working on it.You will feel so much better.

    Welcome. I know what you mean, I have diabetes and I just want to be healthier. Since I have been on here, I have lost 8 lbs which is great, but my blood sugar numbers are where I see the most improvement, they are wayyyyy down!
