Hello everyone. I just registered with the weight-loss-forum and thought I'd say hi. I am starting Weight Watchers tonight for the umpteenth time and am really interested in getting to know people who have also stuggled with weight loss. I have previously lost over 80 pounds but, unfortunately, have gained the majority of it back when I stopped the group support and tried to do it on my own. I guess I need the support and encouragement to help me stay on track.

Anyway, my name is Shelby and I'm from Wisconsin and just wanted to say hi and wish you all well on your endeavor to live a healthier lifestyle.

Hi Shelby,

My story is pretty much the same as yours I'm new to this forum. I had lost weight with weight watchers, found the classes and tracking really helpful However I stopped going and put all the weight and more back on! so this is my take 2!!!! I haven't rejoined weight watchers, this is my alternative so I hope I can stay focused and blast some fat cells :P I find that encouragement is great for will power and really helps thats why you'll do great with weight watchers and this forum. Best of luck reaching your target, where there's a will there's a way

Thanks for the encouragement Serafina. I did go and register for weight watchers again tonight and was saddened to learn that I had gained back all but twenty of the pounds that I had lost. Oh well, back on track now. Good luck with your weight loss plan, too, and if you ever need some encouragement or support, I'm here!

Remember: "The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places."

Sky's the limit!

Hi Keira,

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it! It would seem that since I want so badly to lose weight and eat healthier that it would be easy to do, but of course, most of us know that is not the case. It's always been a struggle for me to watch my diet and get in some exercise.

Please feel free to look me up, too, if you ever need some support and encouragement.

Thanks again!
Shelby

Hey there and welcome. Hopefully you'll be able to make friendships and get the support here on this forum that you didn't have before. You KNOW you can do this already, sure it can't be fun to do it multiple times, but you know that you can. Congrats on starting a program again, and I would really suggest that you start a diary here. It'll be a place for you to track your weight loss, and also a place to get support from others on the forums. If you have any questions, my inbox is open!

Thanks so much! The support I've gotten already has just been so fantastic and really does help. I'm so thankful to have found this site. It's great! Thanks for the support and encouragement...I REALLY appreciate it!
