New single in town!

[Abeautifulwoman2003]

Okay I am not new to the single life. Been divorced for 8 or 9 years. I don't remember anymore. I have an 11 year old son.

But I need (have to) lose weight. I am a new member of WW. In week 2. I am also using etools (and I love it)

But just thought I would pop in again! I can't wait to start dating again. :rolleyes:

Welcome!
I'm a single mom too, my girl is 4. I know what you mean about ready to start dating again!
I know I don't have a ton to lose, but after gaining over 15 pounds since my break up with her dad last year, my self esteem has gone down hill. I really feel like getting back in shape will be a healthy start before getting into a relationship. I love this program, but after two weeks, I'm still slipping up on days, overeating and what not. Though, week two is better than week one. I hope week 3 is even better, and by week 4, I hope to be OP 24/7!!! No more emotional overeating!!!
Good luck to you, I felt like venting!

Thanks for answering. Does not look like this place gets many posts. Maybe you and I can get it going again.

I have to lose alot and today was day 3 OP (even though dinner was not till 8:30) THe only problem I had was getting all my points in. I fell 2 short. I am going to really work so that does not happen. But I got home from work at 5:30 and had to run out for basketball practice for my son.

I am not ready to excerise in front of anyone. So I am going to go and buy the firm tapes and fanny booster and start using those.

I will be sporting those jean shorts this summer. I know I will.

Feel free to email me at brewcitygirl@hotmail.com

You can do it! That's Denise Austins' favorite saying on all her videos!
I'm an exercise video fanatic and I use them daily.
My faves are "yoga booty Ballet"
" Karen Voight/elle Mcpherson YOur Personal Best,"
ANd any Pilates I can find.
I know you can stay Op. I always find something to eat to get my points in. I wish that weren't so easy for me!
Keep me posted on your progress!

Wow... after reading your posts, I know I'm not alone. I too gained alot of weight after my divorce and fell into a depression. I now feel compelled to regain my life again and WW's was definately the right step for me to take! I've been divorced now for 6 years and dated a couple guys.... but with a 9 yr. old daughter it makes it very difficult especially when your self-confidence was 0. So I understand completely where you're coming from! I hope we can motivate and help one another out.

Think I am going to join in here.You go girls.
It is hard to be single sometimes but... I just feel in my heart it isn't something worth giving up on.
I found out a month ago I am pregnant from someone I dated for 3 months, he he since left, and wants nothing to do with me or the child.
I have met other men who seem to be interested.One I have chatted with on and off with for about 6 months, always felt there was something, but ... he doesn't live in the same town.not too far though.
I just told him I am pregnant, didn't seem to worried, and hmm he decided to suddenly come visit.Yikes hey.Well we had a wonderful time, he said we will spend more time together and he will be back here.Hmm the problem, I am a freak, lol.No I mean it is just so hard to trust, and let things go.I really like this person, and really not in the mood to have another broken heart.
I will just go with the flow and hope for the best, i tend to put all my eggs in one basket soo.. I am just hoping he is someone I can get to know more and have a good relationship with.
Ok so that is my story,lol.
I don't think we should ever give up in finding a wonderful man to be with.
Hugs.

Welcome to all the newbies on the thread! It's great to have it revitalizing. Rocky, I am impressed with this new guy. He seems to have been waiting for the right moment to make his move, and with El Schmucko out of the picture, he is doing just that! Take it OMOHOD at a time, and see what develops. And listen to your instincts, they won't steer you wrong.

An update on my Adventures in Internet Dating: I have received a couple of "feelers" from Match.com. One just gave me a weird vibe - I was writing to him at the very minute that I learned about the space shuttle Columbia, and was expressing my horror, and he didn't even acknowledge this in his reply! Instead, he asked if I was still married, and I should edit the (fake!) last name on my Hotmail account. The second one I am waiting to hear back from. Greatboyfriends.com hasn't turned up anything yet. I would like to publically thank my son for allowing me to use him as my ticket to free membership! Find out about him here!!!

So, anyone planning to be alone for V-Day? Wanna do an AIM Chat?

Rocky, don't be afraid of having your heart broken!! It's only because of all those heart breaks that you'll know when you've met prince charming!! This guy sounds like he's real keen on you, and it seems to me as well that he was just waiting for his opportunity to cease the moment with you... Just take it slow and give him a chance! Make sure he does the chasing!

Good luck and keep us posted..b

Well girls, looks like another ass, sorry but....
Haven't heard a thing from him since he left.He said he would e mail me right away, he has my number, hmm I don't have his though.I emailed him to say thanks for comming over, had a great time.But still nothing, come on girls it only takes one minute to e mail someone, there are just no excuses as far as I am concerned.
I am just sooo tired of the crap, the ups and down etc.. why would you bother comming all the way here, miss sleep, lol,and act like you like somone etc...
You know though he seemed to really want to get back home, i thought it was because he was worried aboutgetting to work on time, his job is pretty important , not one where you can call i nsick,lol.Ohh grrr, I just don't know.
I did e mail him this am,, I know i know, should just leave it, but told him all he had to do was e mail me and tell the truth, no problem.
I am just soo dissapointed right now, drives me crazy.
Well keep you updated inmy saga, why can't things just go well for once, yes I know it will all be right one day but.. I need some good things to happen and pretty darn soon.I am really losing faith in men.
Have a good day buddies.
