Seasons Greetings Ladies and Gents!

I am new to the world of WW and taking all the baby steps to get used to being OP. I started last week on Thurs 12/7, so tomorrow 12/14 will be my first WI. The decision to join was prompted after a 3rd physician advised that I start to lose some of my 320lbs.

Luckily, my current employer has WW meetings weekly on site and I work with 2 members who are absolutely inspiring with their progress and completed goals. This has made the decision and this week's progress that much easier.

In addition, my DW was OP 8 yrs ago and has joined me at home. With all these pro's surrounding me, I thought the only place left was online, so here I am. :bcb_happy

This is the most I have ever weighed, but is not uncharted territory as I was here just 4 yrs ago, but then lost 60lbs in 2003 and kept it off for 2 years...well I've found it again and want to lose it forever. :bcbkickbu

I have been lurking for the last couple of days, but thought it would be nice to introduce myself. I look forward to meeting everyone!

Thanks for reading and take care! :bcb_salut

I am back on the weight loss train also. I was almost at my goal 20 years ago!! I did okay over the years but when my DH had a serious cancer my emotions were all out of whack and I turned to food for comfort. He is doing okay now so there is no reason for my food addiction. I am trying the core plan and I would love to lose 40-50 lbs. I am older now at 55 years of age. Not sure how this will go but I love fruits and almost all veggies so it seems like an easy plan.

I will always be here to lend support to anyone.

Welcome to BCB and WW iSlappy. Weight Watchers is a great program and it works if you work it. BCB is a great place for encouragement and support.

Karen - Welcome back to WW. I have been following the Core plan for about 6 weeks and I just LOVE it!
