I think I'm not taken as seriously here simply because I don't have as much to lose. But, I take my weight very seriously since my mom died at age 61 of diabetes and heart troubles. It made me mad at her that she didn't think it was worth taking care of herself to be around for her kids and grandkids. She was a foodaholic--never stuck to exercise or a healthy diet. It was very frustrating to watch. I will NOT do that to my family.
I'll weigh in for the last time today. I lost 1.5 lbs this weeks after a month of temporary downs--142.5. My goal is 138, so it should happen soon.
Good luck everyone. Keep going--this is important for you and all who love you.
Karla: I sat at a meeting with a WW member who has 5 pounds to go to reach her lifetime goal. She has lost 75 pounds over the past 3 years and kept it off. Now she is struggling to get off those last 5 pounds. Those pounds are very important to her. We each have different goals, and each of our goals are just as important as the next person's. If we can help you by supporting you in your losing and keeping off 5 pounds, then we will all feel great that we could help. It seems like there were several people who had smaller weight loss goals on this thread. This doesn't seem to be a judgmental group. Everyone has something to offer and everyone can take something away from this group's input. It is your decision to stay or go, but I think you have a lot to offer the rest of us by staying and sharing your experiences.
