Aimee, your web site is fantastic! I'm a 51 year old professional dieter who started WW one week ago for the fourth or fifth time. Had a great week with a loss of 6.5 the first week but totally fell off the wagon today. Back on starting tomorrow morn!!! I need support!
Thanks for the reply. This is all new to me but I realize I need the support like everyone else. Right now I'm over 100+ pounds overweight and it's affecting my health. I currently have high blood pressure and plantar fasciitas in both feet which is preventing me from walking like I want to. Hopefully, both these conditions will improve as I lose weight.
Polarbear, glad to meet you. Keep posting here and we will give you support. When I started WW 16 months ago I needed to lose 125 pounds. I'm down 65. I am also a "Professional dieter". I'm a 59 yo nurse, wife and mother of 1. I live in Western NY. You say you can't walk, do you have access to a pool? Working out in the water has been a lifesaver for me.
Wecome to a very special place, Polarbear.....it means so much to come here and get all this wonderful unconditional encouragement and support. I'm working on a 90 lb. loss myself....two thirds of the way there....the last third has been very stubborn, but the wonderful people here have encouraged me not to give up. I'll be away for a few days, but look forward to getting to know a new friend here. Maajida
Wow!!! So many responses. Thanks to you all. I'm 51 years old. Just recently resigned from being a church secretary due to carpal tunnel, tennis elbow and my plantar fasciitas. I'm a wife and mother of two, a 17 year old daughter and a 22 year old son. I live in Frankfort, KY. I look forward to corresponding with you all.
Welcome Polarbear! This is a great place to come for support and friendship. These ladies have been very helpful and supportive to me and I know they will you too. Stop by anytime. We welcome all comments and support.
