CazGirl Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 hi I need people's advice, I want to join a group like weight watchers but I am very nervous about going to the meetings as I would be scared I was the youngest so is there anyway I can jus get the leaflets and information about points and everything from weight watchers and jus not go to the groups??? Liz xxx yeah. i did weight watchers several years ago and lost a stone. we had a weight watchers book and followed the points and stuff, i didnt go to any meetings, so it doesnt mean to say it wont work on your own, because it does. the group meetings are just there so that you have people to talk to, someoe you can relate to and express your problems and worries with. and also of course, to cheer each other one, which is basically what we do here! dont be shy about going. you may even make new friends! think of it as a social gathering and a way to boost your confidence. no-one is going to judge you. after all, everyone's there for the same reason.

emmylou Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 hi honey i know how you feel i went ot weightwatchers on my own and was terrified that everyone was gonna be looking at me and judge me but once you get throughthe doors you feel ok because everyone is in the same boat !! if you really do not wanna go to a meeting you can join weight wachers on line or weightwatchers at home! i would strongly give the meetings a go the support you get from there and here on this thread is secondto none !!! plus if u do not like the meetings you can access on line services easier and cheaper !!! xxx good luck and go for it , best thing i ever did !!! emsxxxx p.s morning all xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of joining when I get up to uni because I have found a meeting whi is about a 10 minute walk from the campus! I am going to try the meetings as it may be a good boost of encouragement as you all said!

Shari Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi folks, ones who have asked me for a mIKA fridge magnet, you will be pleased to know they will be on their way this coming Monday 21st Jan'08 Good and bad news!!!!!!! Bad news/ They have printed out really well but they are far smaller than I had anticipated and the word MIKA id missing from the top to make it fit! Good news/ you're getting them for free!!! I hope you won't be too disappointed. I have ordered some bigger magnets if anyone else wants one. PM me and let me know, ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkullyRox Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Still nothing! I thought I'd lost 5lb as that is the reading I had on my scales but I weighed the next day and it was showing a GAIN!?! I have no idea. I've started walking with my sister, we're doing 50 mins to an hour a day, with an incline about half of route-but looking on google tonight, it seems some say walking is the best exercise you can get, yet others say-you might lose a pound a month(!!) if you're lucky. Is it worth it? I'm getting myself down now well and truly, so I'm going to put off weighing myself for a fortnight and then see what's going on.

Shari Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Oh Amanda, I really wish I knew the answer to your dilema. In these days of fast everything, we even expect to lose weight as quickly. Please try to be upbeat and keep at that phase if you're happy with it. It IS worth it yes. Just think in the near future how GOOD you will look and more imoportantly, FEEL.

Is it worth it? I'm getting myself down now well and truly, so I'm going to put off weighing myself for a fortnight and then see what's going on. just keep trying to eat healthy; lots of fruit and salad (5 portions a day dont forget) and lots of water to keep flushing out your system. You should pee 7 times a day and er, poop once a day. Go to the toilet whenever you feel you need to. Also, let me please remind you that muscle weighs more than fat. but don't give up - your determination is admirable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
