Way to go!! That's fantastic!!

It's really hard to lose weight, so I'm proud of you for losing so much! Keep up the good work!

That is awesome!! I love WW - I lost 36 pounds in 6 months doing that from October last year until April of this year. I am just maintaining now as I leveled off and didn't lose anymore for 2 months so decided to take a break and stay put for the time being. It was very easy for me and I feel so much better.

Way to go - keep at it - the payoff is great!!

Well done Diane on your fabulous weight loss also. I am maintaining through the school holidays - so many place to visit with the kids!!!

Congratulations!!! I joined WW Sunday so I am just beginning. I must say it has been a little tough. I just need to learn to control my portions. I LOVE to eat. Hopefully, I'll be able to tell you guys I've dropped the 50lbs. I need to within the next year!

The first couple of weeks were a little difficult for me. You have to get yourself accustomed to eating different and break bad habits..but after that it will seem like no big deal. Good Luck!

Sarah - i know what you mean about summer and going out with the kids - hard to find healthy choices. With it being so hot I haven't had any trouble maintaining - I'm wondering what will happen though when winter gets here....it will probably take a little more effort.

Beausmommy - I do the core programme so do not really worry about portion sizes. I am a vegetarian so it suited me more and I am training for a half marathon next year. I haven't booked one yet but it was my aim to do a half before the end of 2008!!! Good luck with your weight loss commitment.

Diane - I agree about the hot weather, I have been living on BBQ fish, corn & rice!!

Do you guys know how accurate the WW scales are??? I weighed at one location when I joined last Sunday. I go to meetings at a different location. I weighed there today and it said I'd lost 8.8lbs. Even though I ate very well last week I'm pretty sure that isn't right but I was wondering if anyone knew how often they checked to make sure the scales are correct...

At my meeting the scales are checked weekly, they put some gym weights on to check them!!

Congratulations on a fab weight loss, what a super start.
