Hi Dawn, Thanks for sharing your story. Hey, at least you can say that pregnancy contributed to your weight gain. My weight gain is the result of ridiculous eating. I had to chime in after I read your post. I can sooooooooo relate to your concern about your thighs. That is my problem area. If I had a dollar for all the…

Hi Doreen, Congratulations on your weight loss with ww. The beauty of participating in a program is that you get the tools that you need to design a "plan" that works for you. Do the same things that worked for you before. Monitor your food/exercise intake with this site. Weigh yourself weekly (even post your progress if…

Hi Kim, I just joined today, but staying stocked with healthy favorites has really helped me. Having snacks and meal "fillers" that are conducive to your dietary needs might be beneficial. Staying loaded up on bagged salad, salad dressing spritzers, tomatoes (love them marinated in balsamic vinaigrette), 100 calorie snack…

I am sure that it helps that you were an athelete in previous years. You probably have a better understanding of what works with regard to your fitness regime. I like the way you ended your topic. Yes...you will get there!!!!!! Congratulations on the 8 pounds thus far.

Kudos to you for being such a supportive mother. It is wonderful that you and your daughter have committed to a healthier lifestyle together. The weight loss journey can be fun with the help of a loved one, especially when you are creative. Best wishes to you both.

Hi Kim, I am so happy that you found a program that you are comfortable with. Remember that positive changes = success.

Don't forget to reward yourself on a regular basis…

Hi Cathy, Yeeeessss, the internet is a beautiful thing! I am spacing my meals out also. I try to eat every 2-3 hours. Hopefully this works well for me. I initially lost 11 pounds on one of the diet plans which is essentially based on this premise. I'll be rooting for you!

Hi Kirsty, It is great that you are paying attention to your weight without letting it get too out of hand. I can't count the number of times when people said "before I knew anything I was 10...20...30...pounds overweight." As for me, I felt my clothes getting tighter, but decided that other aspects of my life were…

Congratulations on your weight loss. I find it very encouraging to read that good ole exercise and sensible eating can lead to such dramatic results. It must feel good to know that the last pesky pounds will be a cinch since you know what you are capable of. Karen

Hi everyone. My name is Karen and I just joined today. For me, more structure is equivalent to better weight loss success. This is really my primary goal for right now. But I have been eating more hormone and msg free foods for the past year. I have also been staying away from artificial sweeteners and foods/drinks with…
