while most of us are on one of the WW plans, you need not be, support and
good sound ideas are not really branded, welcome and good luck, Lee

While I'm not "doing" Weight Watchers, health problems in March triggered

me
to lose weight. At the time, I was 39 years old, and around 370 lbs

(around,
because I refused to weigh). After a month of serious dieting, and

pathetic
efforts at exercise, I finally weighed - 357 lbs. Even at 6' 1", that's
still very heavy, and I felt it every minute of every day. Now 40, I went

to
the doctor today with dizziness, and weighed 266lbs. The dizziness was low
blood pressure since I was still taking medication even after the weight
loss. My wife and I are just eating right, walking 30 minutes daily, and
leaning on each other for motivation and support (she has lost 55 lbs in

the
same time period). I did a newsgroup search on "weight" and found this
group. I intend to read it daily, looking for continued motivation and
support. Keep up the good work!! It WILL be worth it!!
