WW is a good plan because it works and it will work again for all of you. The first step is admitting you need to do something, then it is the day in and out of doing but a good support thread can help too. Good luck everyone.

Our family was great about keeping candy and stuff out of the house, but we've got some Easter candy in the house, and it's just too tempting. Despite my slipping on some things, I'm still at my goal weight. I've got to confess, though that the weight has been creeping up a bit. The one thing that has saved me is that I still weigh in once a month to maintain lifetime status. I NEED the accountability to keep me going. One day at a time, gang!

Today was a little rough, but I did get in all my water and was much more aware of what went in my mouth. As Tantor said, "one day a time"!!

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I'm going on my 3rd week of being on WW. Over the years I've lost and regained about 20 lbs, I think it's 3 times now. It should have always been 30-40 but that's another story I always feel so much better without that weight but yep, old habits sneak back into my life too. I'm turning 50 in August and now I'm looking at it as a health issue. My plan is to lose 5 lbs (before our trip to DLR in June) then stabilize that, then lose 5 more, stabilize and so on. I've never had a problem staying OP (once I set my mind to it) and losing the weight, it's keeping it off that I can't seem to do. DH on the other hand went on WW with me over a year ago (piggybacked what I did) and not only lost the weight but KEPT it off. I've always done "at home WW" and can fall back into everything quite easily. My sister just joined WW and is going to meetings and likes them a lot. One day at a time Off to get more water YIKES I just remembered that we are taking my Mom to Cattlemens tonight for an early Mothers Day dinner. I'll be good, I'll be good, I'll be good

Originally Posted By LilliBelle Well, as I said in post 176. . . Two years after K2M started this thread, I have once again recommitted to Weight Watchers. I rejoined WW Online on April 12, 2006 and have so far lost 16 pounds. Re-reading all the posts here has been a real eye opener. I have now eliminated the word "diet" from my everyday vocabulary and replaced it with the phrase, "change in lifestyle". I have committed to making the healthiest food choices I can, but also allowing my favorite treats their place in my lifestyle. The "real" reason for my commitment "this" time, you may ask? Well, some of you know that I was diagnosed with cancer on Feb. 28th after a needle biopsy on a swollen lymph node in my neck that I found in Oct. of 2005. I went thru all sorts of tests, scans, endoscopic exploration of parts unknown, and finally a surgical biopsy on my birthday, March 28. One week later, as my husband and I sat waiting for the doctor to tell us where the primary tumor site was and what type of treatment they would be starting(now, this is after the doctors told me the cancer had shown up in my lymph node because it had spread from a tumor somewhere in my body), we were greeted with an unexpected diagnosis; there was absolutely NO CANCER any where in my body. I was reborn at that moment and realized I had my life back. How could I throw my second chance at life away by abusing my body with food yet again? Simply put, I GET it now. Day by day and moment by moment, I WILL get to goal this time and enjoy every victory at the scale and every nonscale victory as well. But the most important thing I have learned is to enjoy the life you have now, this very minute. Thanks again, K2M for starting this thread. I hope you all are doing well! My email is in my profile if anyone needs a Weight Watcher buddy. Hugs to all of you!

I too am on WW and have been since Oct. 2005. It is now a struggle and I find myself not journaling as much. I haven't gained any, and I still am losing a little each week (I am down a total of 38 lbs as of this morning).
