Hi, congratulations to those of you doing well and keep at it those of you that are struggling you will get there!
I lost about 30lbs 10 years ago on WW found it quite easy to stick to especially being a difficult eater being allergic to several vegetables. Be able to choose from anything really suited me. In 2003 I had a huge car accident took around a year of rehab to learn to walk again. Eventually went back to work but found the pain from going to the gym caused me too many sick days so pretty much stopped exercising.
Last summer I moved to Sweden and married a local man and I see to be struggling to get pregnant I know being overweight (which I am very much so) can make it harder I decided to start weight watchers.
Im using the swedish online site – which is enough for working out local food values etc but the more supportive stuff useless due to my language failings.
Today has been a fantastic day my 1st weigh in Ive lost 8.8lbs and got the results from test I have passed with a distinction so get to move on to the last stage of ’swedish for immigrants’ at college.
I look forward to continuing my journey with all you guys and wish you all good luck

I just started WW 2 weeks ago lost 5lbs so far, iwas wondering…Iwas a member years and still have the cardboard slide rule that says 123 success points finder, which goes up to 10gms of fiber, the new one is different and I do not get the same point values with both of them…the old one will be less points for a cup of Hi fiber cereal than the new one, do any old timers know why ? I like my old one its sturdier and well gives less points value for the same food…Ha !

I joined WW a couple of years ago. I lost about 40 Pounds. Since then I have gained the weight back.
I ate a lot of foods I should have not been eating and quit smoking. I have joined again and have lost 4.5 pounds in 2 weeks. WW is a way of life. Not a diet. I enjoy going to the meetings. You get a lot of recipes from other members, words of encouragment no matter if you have a good or bad week, and the Leader is great!
