I went to WW with my dad tonight and the meeting was so annoying. It was mostly older people and they were just obnoxious. This one guy went on and on about how most people quit after only a few meetings because they take it to seriously and don't do it right, like him. Another woman went on and on about how horrible it is that you can't go out to eat. It was just aggravating and didn't motivate me at all.
Also I only need to lose about 25 lbs, so I get dirty looks and comments like, 'you don't need to be here.' Thats not helping me, I am getting married and want to lose weight, I should be supported. I love going with my dad, but I wish we could do a LIW WW meeting with all of us young people working towards the same goal.... to be buff, beautiful brides
So far those interested in trying to do a Suffolk LIW WW meeting are:
I think if you get a group of 10 or more paying customers they can come to you. If any girls in suffolk want to get together for it, I'll join!!

Re: We need an LIW WW meeting
Well I'm in Suffolk so if we get 10 girls who are seriously interested and are in the area, or willing to travel to a neutral place, I'll look into it!!

Re: We need an LIW WW meeting
I would definitely be interested. I would feel bad leaving my dad at those meetings alone, but I think he would say go for it because it would be so much better for me. And we would still be doing the points together.
I love the idea.
I am in Suffolk too. Thats 2. Anyone else interested.

Thats so true! Thats why I didnt join this time. I hated going to the meetings and I didnt see the point in paying to get weighed when I can weigh myself for free!

Re: We need an LIW WW meeting
You really have to try a few different meeting times. I finally found the best one ever....I actually have fun when I go. THe one I go to is at 8:15 on Fri mornings in west babylon. The meeting leader is really the key to a good meeting, if its a bad leader its a bad meeting.

They do say you loose 50% more if you go to the meetings. You just have to find the right one for you.

Re: We need an LIW WW meeting
Just a quick FYI - I'm actually a WW Leader. I lost 46 pounds 2 years ago. You can go to as many meetings you want or as many as you need to find the right fit. I HIGHLY recommend them, but then again, I'm a bit biased.
If anyone wants or needs more info, let me know. I'm more than willing to help out. Also if you're interested in a meeting in Nassau, I could let you know when/where I work, or some other great leaders.

I agree, I need the meetings. It holds me accountable. But I have gone to a few and hated them all.
Where in Nassau are you, it would depend on how far, but I would be interested in checking out your meeting?

Re: We need an LIW WW meeting
I'd be interested! I think I need more motivation to lose and to make better choices on the plan.

Re: We need an LIW WW meeting, updated
If anyone's interested in coming to my Thursday night Lynbrook or Saturday afternoon Plainview meetings, let me know. I'd be more than willing to work with you, since we're all in the same boat. Also, my meetings tend to be a bit younger crowd since I'm only 26 myself. I guess I attract the younger girls since I can relate more.
