 Good Morning,

My name is Joan and I live in Louisville, KY.  I subscribe to the Taste Of Home Healthy Living magazine, and just found this site.

 In the past 10 years I've lost over 100 pounds.  For the past two and half years I've been doing Weight Watchers and have been able to shed 65 pounds on that program.

 Looking forward to getting to know everyone on this forum.

Have a wonderful day,

Joan 

Welcome Joan.  What an amazing thing  you have accomplished with your weight loss.

Most of us are Weight Watchers, either active or Life Time members who go back occasionally.

Please join us on our daily post.  You would be an inspiration to all of us !!

Bizeebarbie,

Thanks so much for the sweet welcome.  Now I have a question, is there a special place that the daily post take place, or do we do this like a journal?  See all of this maybe stupid questions, but hey someone has to ask them.

Tomorrow I have my weight in at w.w.'s.  I have been at a plateau for quite sometime, and have been going to the gym 5 days a week for the past month.  I should add as well that I had a total hip replacement April 21, 2008, and am scheduled for a total knee replacement August 25, 2008, so getting back to the gym was a hugh goal for me.  Now here is the thing, my clothes are fitting oh so much looser, but the scale is not going down.  However, I am determined not to allow this to frustrate me, I am continuing to eat smart and eat on program as well as getting to the gym at 5 a.m., Monday through Friday.

Thanks again,

Joan 

Hi Joan...congratulations for the weight loss.  You go girl!!

We post a new thread daily except for weekends...we do one "weekender" post.  Whomever gets on line first can start the new post.  When our Viny isn't on vacation, he usually opens us.  Sometimes when Marti or PatA can't sleep, they'll start it about 1 am!

 Stop in anytime!

 Thank you Vammie for the sweet welcome.  I feel sure I will get lost from time to time, but just bear with me.

 Through the week I'm up by 4:15 a.m. myself to get to the gym by 5, so if Marti or PatA can't sleep I may catch one of their post.

My weight loss has been a journey for me.  This time around I have looked at it like this...there is no experation date I have to meet....so far its been working well for me.

Thanks again Vammie.

Joan, we ALL will have an expiration date that is closer IF we DON"T take better care of ourselves.  You will surely be an inspiration to us all.  Just post on the daily post so we can get to know you.  If I can find it I will go to the HInts and Tips forum and bring up our "getting to know you" post so you and Jenn can "meet" us.
