I will apologize in advance for the following rant...
My computer has been really mean to me the past couple of days, so I haven't been able to come online for my daily support fix. Or any of my other online fixes for that matter. GRRRRR!!
I started back at Weight Watchers Tuesday evening, and was pleasantly surprised when I weighed in 5 pounds (just over that actually) than what I thought I weighed. I am still 349.2 pounds though, so a ways to go. But things are looking up. 'Cept for the *@#$! computer, which is only letting me play right now because of dumb luck. Again sorry for the ranting. Good luck to all of you and I hope to be able to continue to participate in the coming weeks/months/years on this board.

Hi Katherine,
Which WW plan are you following?
I count my points and have been pretty successful...however, the last week and a half I have been BAD.
Don't sweat too much about the difference in their scale and yours. It happens all the time.
Congrats on going back to WW!!

sorry to hear about the pc problems...
one of the things you might try to see what's going on (if you can get online) is go to pcpitstop.com it's a free site that you do have to register to use, but it does tests on your pc and gives you ideas to help correct any problems you may have. my guys (pc techs) use it all the time...
hope it helps :)

My First 10% of Body Weight
Thanks for the tip, Jess. I will try it and see what happens. So far, the computer is still running, so maybe I'll wait a while and see what it does first.
My first week back at Weight Watchers is going ok. LOTS of water! I feel like I'm going to drown.LOL. I am doing the points system for WW, as I really feel like I need more structure for my weight loss plan than what the Core plan would provide. Its going ok, except yesterday I went to Jack-in-the-Box for lunch. I looked at the menu. I had planned to get egg rolls and a Chicken Fajita Pita for lunch, but decided that the salad would probably be the better choice. NOT! After I got home, I looked up the points for my Chicken Club Salad w/ all the stuff that comes with it(ranch dressing,almonds,croutons)and discovered that my salad was a total of 21 points! The Chicken Fajita Pita and a 3-piece egg roll would have only been 15 points. I get 33 points per day, so you can imagine how upset I was. I thought I was being good! Next time I eat out, I'm taking my Dining Out Companion(a book that lists all the point values for many fast-food and casual dining restaraunts)with me so I can look up what it is that I want to eat before I scarf down a days worth of points in one meal. : ) Lesson learned. I weigh in again on Tuesday night, so I have a few days yet. This morning I had a Lean Gourmet Shrimp and Pasta frozen entree. Only 5 points, and VERY yummy. : ) And in a little while, I am going to have 1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese w/ pineapple for 2 points for my midday snack. Add to that the ocean of water I have been drinking lately, and all is well. Good luck to everyone here. I will get into that pair of size 26 jeans yet. (I hope fairly soon, as my other jeans are wearing out pretty quick.)

fitting into your jeans I recently pulled a bag of clothes
out of my babsement stuff I used to fit into when I lost'
weight way back when and thats motivating finding pants/jeans
to try to fit into.I had a pair of 18's that used to never go
up over my hips and now I can button them they are a little snug
but they fit!! My next pair is 16's
Anyway good luck to ya and just smack the PC around a lil lol!
