WW history ?: I started weight watchers in September 2009. I weighed 213 pounds. I went down to 164 pounds and quit WW due to expenses. I have tried to stay on plan but it is hard when I have nobody holding me accountable. Due to that I have gained some weight back and am currently 189 pounds. I do not want to go any higher than that and am starting now getting back on track. I desperately need support to help keep me motivated because a lot of times I wonder why it is even worth it...and when I do that I go off plan and then I feel bad. I am new to this sight and do not really understand my way around...but I am going to explore it and report my weights each week to stay on plan.

[MamaMary]

I am starting my ww from home journey today. I have all the books and necessary tools. Just need the support from people to keep me on the right track. My eating habits have been very unhealthy since my new job and I have found them hard to break. I work from 9 pm to 7:30 am so my eating times are totally confusing my body and I find that it is easier to eat fast foods during these hours because nobody else is eating with me.
