Commentor. Comment-writing person. :)<BR/><BR/>Get out there and get it off! If you did it before, just think how much easier it will be this time. You already know your weaknesses and strengths and you know the program. Best of all, you know how it feels!

It is what helped me lose 80lbs when I did WW several years ago. A lack of accountability and life circumstances (& poorly managed emotions) have led me to gain it all back. This post, however, motivates me to find that again. <BR/><BR/>Thanks!Kellyryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892144621354657810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-10560949386221666962007-09-13T10:14:00.000-06:002007-09-13T10:14:00.000-06:00I do have to say that WW is beautiful because you ...I do have to say that WW is beautiful because you don't HAVE to skip the cookie. You don't HAVE to skip the chocolate. You can literally eat whatever you want. You just have to make sure you eat the good things first. I love it because I don't have to buy any of their food. I just use what I have and it's awesome. <BR/><BR/>Julie-<BR/>Good, good! I need to start the weight lifting. I forget how important that is --and not just for weight loss, but for bone mass. Especially since 30 isn't too far away!<BR/><BR/>Christy-<BR/>Yay for treadmills!!<BR/><BR/>janelle-<BR/>Like you need my help. ;)<BR/><BR/>jamie-<BR/>Thank you! :)<BR/><BR/>amanda-<BR/>I have approx. 37 pounds to lose (total). So, it's not impossible! If you start now, it will be so much easier then starting when you're even 5 pounds more. I'm glad I could be an encouragement! :)<BR/><BR/>Kim!!<BR/>Good for you! Just know that anything more that 2 pounds a week can be bad for you --We always lose a lot of weight the first week (Brandon lost 9 pounds!), but then it starts to even out around 1/2 to 2 pounds a week. That's healthy. But you'll learn about that in your meetings. I'm so proud of you for joining! Good luck with it all! You'll have to keep me updated on your progress.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218614720786379961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-54464393268679027542007-09-13T09:51:00.000-06:002007-09-13T09:51:00.000-06:00Cheryl!You inspired me to start weight watchers. ...Cheryl!<BR/><BR/>You inspired me to start weight watchers.

My goal is to lose 40 pounds, but I am going to do it! I can't wait to buy pants at a smaller size! I found a great beginning dumb bell routine and have been biking and I plan on mixing it up with some step aerobics. Thanks for being such an inspiration!Scrapbooks by Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17256299499988999974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-20209999750012740612007-09-13T01:00:00.000-06:002007-09-13T01:00:00.000-06:00Just another suggestion -- weight lifting. The st...Just another suggestion -- weight lifting. The studies are in, and to really get your body into "fat burning mode," you've got to build lean muscle mass. The only way to do that is to lift weights. Just 5 pound dumbbells on a 20 minute circuit 3 days a week! Stanton & I are doing that and changing to whole grains (for everything!), fruit, veggies, nuts, and lean meats and it's made a HUGE difference in the way we feel!<BR/><BR/>Cheryl -- GREAT JOB!!!<BR/><BR/>And enjoy a cookie once a week!Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914081924660422629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-20337924479410675692007-09-12T14:38:00.000-06:002007-09-12T14:38:00.000-06:00Dang, girl!!

I firmly believe that with a lifestyle change anyone can do it...just cut portions and be strict with yourself. That cookie will look good, but it is NOT worth the extra 30 minutes of workout to burn it off :) Keep working hard - it is soooooooo worth it!!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13146518393294203292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20526785.post-70243954385025077772007-09-12T12:48:00.000-06:002007-09-12T12:48:00.000-06:0017 pounds is amazing.
