I plan on starting WW tomorrow after being away from the program for 11
years. I need some kinds words from some of you with the journey I am
starting.
Thank you,

Carolyn:
The WW program is an up beat way to make changes in your eating
habits. Get to the meetings every week, keep the diary/journal,
and remember that you will have some ups and downs. Accept the
difficult weeks and the easy weeks and keep your eye on the pizza
.... no, on the celery!
PAT, who had a hard time at the pizza counter today, but remember
to buy some celery!

I 'm sure you 'll like it, Carolyn. WW has been a lifesaver for me. It 's
still the only 'normal' weightloss programme that I know of, and that I
could follow for life. Let us know how your first meeting went!

Welcome Carolyn... Best advice I can give you is drink your water, eat your
fruits/veggies/dairy, and keep your numbers in your points range or target
or whatever you are doing. and DON'T GIVE UP!

Here's the official newbie welcome...

Welcome to this great newsgroup where you'll receive lots of support,
advice, and encouragement. Once a week on Sundays, I post a list of links
that newcomers to asdww might find useful. You may want to look for that
later in the week, or do a backwards search for last Sunday's post.

In the meantime, here's our FAQ:

Here's a short synopsis by Joyce -

How many points you can eat is only based on your current weight, as you
lose
weight those points allowed will decrease (logic is that your body will need
less
to operate). At 183 pounds and based on the new US flexpoints system, you
will
have a set point target of 24. In addition to this you are allowed 35
flexpoints
to be used throughout the week ... as well as any activity points you earn
on a
particular day. When your weight drops to 175, your target drops to 22
points ...
weight reaches 150, target once again drop to 20 points. 3 servings of
dairy of
recommended per day, 5 servings of fruit and veggies, minimum of 6 glasses
of
water.

To calculate food and activity points, I love this computer desktop
calculator ...
http://www.xmission.com/~zythra/downloads/points.exe

WW suggests your ideal weight should be somewhere between 116 and 145
depending on
your age.

The basic plan is easy. Eat at least your minimum daily number of points.
Points
do not carry over from day to day. You are allotted 35 weekly flexpoints to
be
used at your discretion ... can divide them up and use daily (would be an
additional 5 points per day) or save them and use them for a special
occassion
during the week. Activity points are earned based when exercising, but can
ONLY
be used on the day they are earned.

If you can afford $15/month, the online ww program might be a great thing
for you
to look into. There is lots of information available, as well as the food
point
database and journaling system.

WW starting weight: 228.8 - 2/5/02

Disclaimer: As an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, asdww is unusual in that
most of the people who participate are respectful, considerate folks who
freely share their experience with and knowledge of WW, weight loss, and
maintenance. Yet occasionally, spammers, trolls, and flamers show up to post
advertising, false information, insults, and the like. Nearly all of the
time, people like this are just trying to yank someone's chain. Most of the
regulars on this newsgroup offer their experience as a suggestion to try if
you're stuck, but are quick to advise that each person has to find what
works for him/herself. If someone posts something that doesn't sound right
to you, ask the newsgroup, ask your WW leader, or ask your health
professional.

Much success on your weight loss journey! WW works!
