I plan to join tonight

Hi everyone, I found your board yesterday and thought I would say hi. I have been thinking of joining WW for a while now but have always thought if I just try harder on my own I could lose the weight. I thought of joining online as well, because I am kind of a loner and am nervous joining a group and meeting new people. Well, guess what? I haven't been able to do it on my own!

I have actually lost 30 pounds in the last year due to stress from marital problems (which is now getting better). I have terrible eating habits...I went from a stress eater, to a non-eater...and have been having a hard time getting into a healthy eating pattern. For exercise, I was a regular at Curves until the past two months when everyone in my house has been sick. (I have 3 kids, ages 9, 8 and 5) I also use an exercise bike and eliptical trainer.

My counsellor said that it's time to try something new. And from everything I've heard about WW it's a good way to go to learn healthy eating. She also said something that has stuck with me for the past few days. "You can suffer the pain of changing, or continue to suffer the pain of NOT changing." It's time for me to change.

Today I am committing to change. I plan to join the local WW tonight. I have a question, what is the difference between the Core plan and Flex plan? What can I expect when I go there tonight? Thanks

Sandy

Welcome to the board Sandy! I'm new here too! I've been to 2 meetings. My meeting leader is great. Never picks on people individually, she asks for people who want to share. No pressure. Be sure to check out a couple different lecturers at your site, there may be one you prefer over another and that might be the difference between you loving your meetings and dreading them. I'm a pretty private person as well and was a little anxious about the meeting, but really it's not bad. I am finding the meetings more helpful than I thought. And remember you are 30% more successful if you attend the meetings! Welcome to your journey of permanent weight loss! BTW... the ladies here are SO nice! I've really enjoyed my short time here so far!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! I must have sat in my car for about 5 minutes before I got up enough nerve to go in, lol. There were a lot of people, I guess because it was the first meeting since before Christmas. I watched for a friend I know that goes, and sure enough, she showed up and sat by me with another friend of hers and it was nice. I'm glad I took the plunge and went! I pre-paid for 10 meetings. Hey, I thought the scale was pretty cool!

Also, several of the women at curves go and we were talking about it while I worked out. One of the curves leaders is actually a lifetime member so that is very helpful to ask her things.

So glad you went to the meeting, and that is great you already have someone there you know to sit with. Meetings are key for me, so I'm happy you found one you like. : )
