Getting Back On Track

Hi guys, I hope all is well. I have been M.I.A for a little while, but it is time for the pity party to be over. Unfortunately I haven't found a job yet but it is time to concentrate on my health and well being again. With that said, all the unnecessary drinking has stopped and I am starting to eat right again. I am thinking about joining Weight Watchers this week, just to have that extra support and would like to know what you guys think about that. The good thing is I haven't gained any weight, but haven't loss anything either.

Glad to hear things are falling into place for you!! With so many things going on its easy to slip a few times and even harder to admit the slip-ups and do something about it. Praying for continued success for you!!

Hey... No harm doing what ever it takes.. My aunt had this surgery and could not maintain, so she went to Weight Watchers and swears by it....

I am glad to see you back... You helped me so much when I first came around here.... Hang in there... Better days are ahead...

Nice to 'see' you!! I am a weight watchers on line pro... :) good program! Good accountability too... There is also TOPS and OE and of course all the free on line trackers.... Whatever works for you, go for it! Of course this is my preop opinion... But still think its a good idea :)

Whatever helps to keep you on track is a good thing. Glad to hear you've got the drinking under control, hopefully you'll be able to find work soon too.

Honey, you don't need Weight Watchers. You don't need another diet! What you need to do is focus on the GBS eating program:

protein first, probably at least 70 grams a day.
non-starchy veggies next
finally, complex carbs.

avoid the white stuff--flour, sugar, pasta.

drink lots of non-caloric fluids, avoiding sodas

and walk, walk, walk.

If you do that, you'll get to your goal. Since DS is always available, come here for support when you need it.

hang in there. you can do this! :)
