Wish me luck ladies!!

So I've decided that I'm going to join Weight Watchers tomorrow. I did it about three years ago and lost 30 pounds before my prom and remarkably I never put it back on. Unfortunately, I hate dieting more than anything else in the whole wide world and did not stick to it so that I could lose more weight. I want to lose another 20lbs so I figured I should start now so I could take my time and be at my ideal weight before I start looking at wedding dresses. I'm worried that if I buy a dress at the size I am now and tell myself that I'll lose weight later, I won't be as motivated because my dress will fit no matter what (as long as I don't eat my way into the size of a moose). I'm hoping I'll have just as much success this time as I did the first time!!!!!!

good luck!! As long as you stick to it, it will work! I haven't heard a failure story yet from weight watchers.

Good luck! When you're trying to lose, it always works better when you have a specific goal and timetable - and you've got one for sure. You can do it!

Congratulations!!! WW for me has been the only thing that made weight loss not seem so hard, especially with all the extra flex points they give you now. I went to the meeting this morning and I'm feeling super confident. The people in the group are awesome and super supportive. It makes it a lot easier when you're comfortable with those who are around you.
