Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 My name is Janet. I am a teacher (high school English). I am 51 years old and I decided it was time to take care of myself so I started doing ww in May and I have lost 24 lbs to date. I have been averaging 5 lbs a month or so. I have quite a bit to go but I love the point system because I don't have to deny myself anything. Hi Janet, Good for you! I like the points too. Makes it so easy. I am fairly new to the group as well as WW. I am glad to meet you. Congrats on your loss ~Valeri 349/327/148 OP since 8-21-01 ~*~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 Thanks, Maureen, I guess I'd love it if the weight just melted off but I am having to work at it! I will share with everyone a fear I have... At the end of this month my husband and I are going with four other couples on a cruise. Our first and I have heard horror stories on weight gain. Any ideas or suggestions from any of you? Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 Welcome Janet! I agree with you the point system is great. It has made this time on WW much easier. My hubby is eating most of the same things I am also. It has really helped his blood sugar! He's diabetic and the Dr. threatened him 10 weeks ago with having to go on insulin if he couldn't get it down. I am so pleased to say not only is it down, but the doctor had to cut out 2 of his pills a day because his sugar was dropping so low.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 Lois, That sounds like us. Jim (my hubby) is also type II diabetic and his sugar is way down also. Insulin wasn't a threat yet but he is on medication. Janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
