Hi all,

I am Glen and I found this site thru a wonderful friend of mine.

I too did WW. Lost about 30 lbs. Some of which has found it way back! LOL
I was considering joining WW again this morning but I am glad I stopped here first. I have not had much time to poke around on here yet but it seems pretty easy to navigate.

This year I turn.....38 and I just want to look and feel my best by time I am 40. I try to not be a frumpy mom. So far so good. I would like to lose 50 lbs. ****CORRECTION*****...I AM going to lose 50lbs :happy: This will put me uder the 200 lb mark.

I have a cake/cookie business so at times it can get rough but I AM goingto do this!

I know it is no quick thing but I am willing to put in my time.

Looking forward to MY journey!

Thanks everyone!

    Welcome, I have only been doing this for a few weeks but I can honestly say it has been the easiest way to lose weight I have ever done. I too have done WW and every other diet going......this works! There are so many helpful and inspirational people on this site. You are not alone. Good on your journey.

    Hi there

    I was in exactly same boat as you, was going to go back to WW but found this site. It is so much better and the database and scanner is amazing. Good luck on your journey. :happy: Sending a request now, lets keep each other motivated.

    Never had tried WW, but have tried low carbing with success when I was in my 40s, but not this time. A friend of mine too told me about this site. I can do this from home and incorporate my family in my new way of life. I plan my meals ahead of time (whether I go out or cook at home) - this has really been an eye open for how much food we can really eat - if we eat the correct serving of foods. Good luck and let us know how it goes! :)

    You sure CAN! Of course, it's not easy-- but then again, most journeys never are! Seems like you're up to the challenge!
