From today

[erilyn]

I was going to start this a few weeks ago, but stuff happened.

Starting date: 11th September
Starting weight: 70.6 kg
Goal weight: 62kg
Goal date: December 6th (a friend's wedding)

8.5kg in 12 weeks might be pushing it, but if I could get 6 kg (and a number of cms off), I'd be very happy. And as this is based from work, I can't eat naughtily in the office. Lots of support to stay on the healthy track! But don't worry, this isn't going to become my points and exercise tracker, I've got a different journal to put all that stuff in.

Gotta do some food shopping tonight!

Any chance of a link to the other journal? I'm about to start doing the same thing with a similar goal and thought maybe we could help each other out with encouragement?

um hi. yeah me too with the whole goal weight time frame thing. just out of curiosity, are you doing it by yourself or do have you help (eg friend, personal trainer, weightwatchers??)

me too!
I haven't been to a meeting yet and am really nervous. its taken me years to actually admit I need help losing weight, i feel really embarassed by it, the needing of help i mean.

My meeting is at work. With WW, don't be embarrassed, everyone there is going to understand :) If you find that you aren't comfortable with your leader or meeting, try another one, cause as with all things, there are good leaders and not so good. There are forums at the Weight Watchers website that are quite active that you might find interesting.

you mentioned another LJ you were discussing this in, would you rather I post about this there or can i keep rambling?
I haven't really come across any people in my regular life who are going/have been to WW or admit to any kind of weight loss help, except like my friends aunty that i don't relate to at all. do you mind if I keep track of your progress?

My other lj is dietlyn. Mostly, I'll be using it to tracks points and exercise and make notes about stuff, but if you want to read it, feel free :)

I've only known a couple of people, but not well, who've done WW, before I started working here. I've known since high school that I need to lose weight, but I've never been motivitated to actually do it.
