Hello all,
I got to goal in October 2003 with WW, and promptly put all the weight back on again!! took me about 3 months to get to goal... and about 3 months to put it all back on!
since then, i've played around with WW and tried dieting on my own and last summer i found that i was about a stone heavier than i was when i first joined WW all those years ago!
I joined SW in september 2009 and lost 1st 1lb before christmas.... I put on 3lb over christmas (which is good for me, because i usually gain about 7lb) and since January, i've been playing with that same 3lb, so i'm the same weight now as i was before christmas.
SW isn't working for me anymore (or rather, i've stopped working for it!) and my portion sizes are out of control.
I've decided to go back to WW on Tuesday. I'll be going back to my old group and my old leader is bound to remember me - i first joined when i was 18 and i went with my mum who had previously been a member of the same group (same leader) when i was about 2 years old and our lovely leader still remembered her and greated her by name as we walked through the door!! so i'm a bit embarrassed and nervous about going back, but think it's what i need to give myself a kick up the back side and get motivated again.
i've been reading through some threads here to motivate myself and get some meal ideas - i think it might take me a while to get back into the swing of things after about 9 months on SW!! - so i thought i'd say hello!
The WW message boards on the WW website are great... but i always feel a bit like an outsider there because it seems to move very quickly and it can be a bit cliquey, so i'm hoping to fit in here a bit better!
