Chelsie, thanks for starting this.

My name is Pat. I'm a 60 year old semi-retired RN and wife and mother of a 34 year old son. I live in Western NY near Lake Ontario. I found Aimee's site from a mention on Roni's Weigh. I started WW March 31, 2007 after checking my % of body fat and finding it to be 48%. I lose slowly but have managed about 90 pound loss. I have ups and downs but plan on sticking with WW. My husband looks at it like AA, just keep going to meetings. When I complain about the cost he reminds me that it is cheaper than the medicines that I used to be on. I'm a diabetic but got completely off medicine for it 1 year ago.
I spend my down time making baby quilts and purses and bags.

My name is Scott and I a divorced father of two beautiful daughters. I am a sales rep for a software company here in Mobile, Al. I was once a frequent poster of this site but due to some curveballs that life threw at me I stopped posting and gained back about 25lbs after getting about 10lbs away from my target weight. I don’t go to meetings for several reasons but I use the concepts, recipes, and ideas of others to help me with WW. I have met some tremendous people while going through this process and I look forward to meeting more.

Hi, I'm Becky. I'm 46 years old, married with 3 children. My youngest son is 9 and my oldest son is 24 and I have an 18 year step daughter and a 4 year old grandson. I joined WW in October of '06 with 64 lbs. to lose. I made my goal January of '08 and made lifetime in March if '08. It has been 15 months since I made lifetime and I am maintaining between 6 and 9 lbs. under goal. I still go to my meetings every week or at least every other week. Like you said Patty, it's like AA and I'm not ready to go once a month yet. I am one of those people that read the post every day but post very rarely. I will try to post more often so hopefully the site will build back up. Have a great day everyone!

Hi! I am Nellie, a 69-yr.old retired elementary teacher, married almost 40 years, three DDs - 36, and twins 34 1/2, one SIL, one DGS, one DGD, and a 17-yr.old cat. I earned Lifetime in April 1994, but had to return to WW in May 2007. I reached goalweight status in March 2008 and am now about 10 pounds below that point. Getting the AP's is my biggest challenge, but I work diligently at getting some kind of intentional activity each day. We have a large vegetable garden that DH enjoys working, and I enjoy harvesting and preserving. While I don't post often at all, I try to keep up with the thread several times a week.

Wishing each of you the best as you make this journey toward healthier living.

Hi all. I'm Brooke. I'm a 27 year old married mother of a 2 year old boy, Carter, and an 8 month old girl, Taylor. I have done WW on and off for the past 5 years. I started back up in January of this year and lost abou 25 pounds. We had a house fire in March and I kind of fell off the wagon but started back up in April. In that time I gained about 7 back but have since lost them again plus another 5 or so. I have about 60 more to go, and I know it is going to take a lot of work but I will get there. I found this site after my mom sent me a recipe a while back. I love to come here for the support (even though I may not always post) and inspiration.

Hi! I'm Cathy. I'm 47 and work as an Executive Admin. for a Financial Services company. I live in Tennessee, I'm married and I have a daughter who is a college sophomore (Go Vols!). I think I have tried every diet program, plan, scam, ect known to mankind, except Weight Watchers. For some reason I just thought that counting points sounded silly! Luckily for me, we started an "at work" program here and I decided to join up. That was in March and as of this morning, I've lost right at 25 pounds. I still have about 50 to go. I've battled my weight forever -my highest was 265 and my low was 140. I'm at 184 right now (I'm 5'8"), so I feel good, but know I can feel better. It's nice to chat with everyone!
