of my weight lose adventure!!! anyone want to join?

so I had a break down last night and im tired of feeling crappy about myself. ive decided that immediately after work, im off to weight watchers. ive never been before so im sort of nervous

then, im dragging my sorry *** to the gym - finally. im feeling better, there is NO excuse now. i WILL NOT be a fat mess on my wedding day

i just keep thinking of Kanye's Workout Song in my head

Weight Watchers is amazing!! I used to go to the one in Wantagh (in Cherrywood). There is a leader there, I think her name is Diane, she f-ing FANTASTIC!!! SHe's a wonderful motivator and she's also a nutrisionist so I really felt like I learned something at every meeting.

You will do great!!!

Karin, I think you look great! but i understand what you are going through!! i was looking at pics when i first started dating FH and i need to get back to fighting shape! lol I joined Nutrisystem and its working great for me!! I love WW! i am doing nutrisystem for the convience!! Good luck u can do it!!!

---

thanks sometimes i cant stand to look at myself and then other times, i remind myself that there are other people who are worse off (weight/health wise etc) but i just want to do it so that I know Im in shape, that I could run 2 miles if i wanted to at any given time, so that i feel i look good in clothes and can shop on any given day and find something that i like on me... i havent been able to do that recently and its very depressing it has taken a toll on my mood, im very snappy with FH and its effecting our relationship... i take out my unhappiness with weight, looks, the way things fit etc, on him... its not fair to him and i dont want it to effect us

plus, i want to look smokin on 10/10/08 and i could stand to loose 50 pounds

I started WW since the begining of the year, but havent put enough effort into it.
I also decided in the last few days to kick it into high gear.
Good luck Karin!

---

ITS TIME!

---

I'm in! I started ww two weeks ago- so far I am down 4.2 pounds- but after WOTY I was not so good, so we'll see what happens this week.

but congrats to you! you will do great!

---

do i need to show up early to the meeting if ive never been and need to sign up? also - if i do the in store meetings etc (instead of the online) can I still access online?? (I want the recipes etc )


its so hard when your IDENTICAL twin sister continues to loose weight, she weighs 40 lbs less and you have to constantly hear 'what are you doing? how are you loosing weight? you look AMAZING' uggghhh i want that

---

sissy...i'll tell you how i do it - i poop everthing i eat out cause i have IBS! lol it's NOT FUN!

we'll do weight watchers together... you are going to be the THE MOST beautiful bride on 10/10! we always say we're gonna email eachother what we ate for the day/what workout we did but WE NEVER DO! so let's finally do it!


LOVE YOU KP!

Starred WW...2 weeks ago...Lost 8 already...I am a bit of a brat with it...I only participate on the online stuff...It keeps me on trach because I see the points right there....I lost 25 pound about 4 years ago this way....I cannot go to meeting...I cannot find the time So my OCD comes out and I am on the computer with every bit of food I eat...

My weigh in is tomorrow...Wish me luck...

Good luck! the first week is always hard...but you just have to have discipline.

IM HOME ... it was fun and KRISTI was there

the meeting was great, im going to do the flex plan ... even got to go food shopping after the meeting and gym. i made sure to purchase lots of fruit, veggies, healthy dairy and 100 calorie packs!!!

good luck karin!!

i hear ya about not feeling good about yourself and wanting to look good on 10/12! i've been trying to watch what i eat too! we're all going to lose it!

YAY!! so glad you had fun at your meeting, and now know how to shop seriously though, it's sooo much fun to shop when you're on WW, you get to see all these yummy foods and know that you can actually eat them and enjoy them!! flex rules!!

YAY- good for you!

I looked for ya at the gym. When did you go?

I ended up going around 7:40 (I couldnt drag myself there earlier)

My weight loss adventure started a week ago- I had the flu and then got 3 wisdom teeth removed! I wish the gym showed me the same results!

In all seriousness though, as soon as I'm healed I'll be kick starting my gym routine into action!
