Rejoining WW... new here...

Greetings everyone! I'm new here, but not new to WW. I joined WW in
January 06 and was on the plan for about 3-4 months... I'm 5'11" and my
starting weight was 213.8 and I got down to 197.2 and then plateaued and
just kinda fizzled out amidst a busy summer which included selling a home
and buying another and moving, etc. and all that.

Anyway, steadily and slowly... the weight has crept back on, to where I am
now 211.4 and tomorrow I vow to go to WW and start over. I have "tried"
counting/tracking my points over the last few weeks, but I think without the
meetings I'm not invested enough, or accountable to anyone other than to my
own scale. *rrrgh!*

So... I told my husband I am going to a meeting tomorrow night, and I'm
going to start again. I looked back at my last Weigh-In card thingy and saw
that last time I started, I lost 9.4 lbs total in my first 5 weeks... I
would be so thrilled to repeat that again, can I just tell you?

Honestly, I'm so sad about this... and embarrassed that I've let this
happen... A-gain. You know? Want to hear something so silly? I have been
wanting to rejoin WW and go to meetings again, but what has stopped me is
that I've wanted to lose some weight first, so I didn't look like a complete
retard gaining back all that I had lost! HOW PATHETIC IS THAT? Hysterical
logic, I know.

Any words of wisdom, and encouragement you could spare would be greatly
appriciated.
Have any of you had to rejoin and have a do-over? I'd really like to be
successful and meet my long term goal of getting down to 170-175 lbs... at
my height that would be perfect! But, you know, it's hard to see that
number and think it's attainable? It seems so far away!

Also... I hate excercising... I've asked my husband if I could get a
treadmill or an elliptical, but the jury is still out.. .probably because he
wonders if I'll really use it. I need something though... I swear.

Anyway, sorry to be so long-winded... I'm just hoping to find somewhere to
fit in. (no pun intended) I've been to the Forums at WW before, but it
was a little cliquish for me and I didn't find a home so to speak.

Thanks for listening,
jane

Welcome back Jane. I have lost count of how many times I have
rejoined. The important part is that you are back and ready to get to
work.

As to exercise, maybe you just don't like the kind(s) you have tried?
Beyond exercise classes, you could ride a bike, swim, take a walk, go
up and down stairs, follow an exercise video, rollerblade, run, tap
dance or something else. My personal favorite is deep water aerobics.

Good luck and don't be a stranger!

there are a lot of us that have had to do this several times to get it
right. I know I sure did. Don't wait till you have lost some weight
before going back to meetings. You need it now as much as then. I
still go to meetings, and I am at goal. It just helps me stay on
track (smile) You can do this.
Karen

Welcome and don't feel bad about starting over. Feel good about
restarting and take each day as it comes. Your rate of weight loss may
not be exactly the same as it was in 2006 but it doesn't matter because
the important thing is that you are ready to begin again. I would wait
to buy a machine if you really hate exercising. You have to find
something you like to really want to do it, and it you didn't like using
it, you would just feel guilty.

Thank you all for your encouraging words!
I am going to my first meeting again tomorrow...
I know this is what works, it's just the digging inside to discover my will
and desire again. I know my clothes fit so much better after a couple
months... boy, and not having to worry about the roll at my belly was a
luxury!!!

I hope you all don't mind me staying here and soaking in the good vibes from
you all!

Welcome Back...Your journey continues...GG

I'm in the same place you are right now. I joined 01/06, lost 25 pounds in 3
1/2 mos, my DH was in a car accident at work (he's a cop), I fell off the WW
plan and just half-a$$ed followed it. I was maintaining okay until a couple
of months ago and now I've put back on 20 of the 25 I lost. My smaller
clothes are too tight and I'm into my intermediate clothes. I'm petrified at
the thought of having to get out the bigger clothes. I just can't seem to
get back on track and can't seem to ever make the Sat am meeting I enjoyed
so much- so much has been going on. I also have been afraid of letting them
see how far I've fallen off :-( Good luck with it. I hope I can find my
strength to get going again but right now I'm really depressed and not in a
good place. This is the first time I've posted in here in a LONG time.

Hi tanukiki! I'm so with you and supporting you. I'm sorry for the stress
that has been going on at your house, with your husbands accident and all.
This is such a frustrating position for us to be in... knowing that we have
succeeded in the past, felt the greatness of things fitting better, etc...
and then now, I find myself looking in my closets and drawers for something,
anything, that I can wear... because I had the crazy notion last time to
give away my old clothes that became too big for me, because of course, I
knew I'd never need them again! Baaahahaaaahaaaa! Now I'm crying daily
because I can't fit comfortably into anything I have. It's horrible, and it
has to stop. Already I'm thinking ahead that if I can just drop 5 pounds in
the next 3 weeks, I'll feel so much better... and I know for me, the only
way to get back on track is to go and commit myself again. Despite my
illogical desire to lose weight before I go back so they'll think I was
somewhat successful at keeping it off.... as if they really care. I'm
hoping that the girl who weighs me just says "we're glad that you came back!
welcome! it will be ok..." or the like. right? Of course she will not say
"you are so lame. you suck at this." NO! She will be cordial and
welcoming, and maybe she'll give me a new card! A new start! A new
starting weight! A new 10% goal? ugggh... that one I'd like to keep as
before, hahaha.

I'm glad you posted tanukiki! We can do this. Even though you can't make
it to your favorite Saturday meeting... maybe there will be another one that
can fill in it's place? I never seemed to have gotten used to going to one
meeting or another... maybe that would have helped me before to stay with
it? I just know I need the ability to interact with others in this same
fight. People who can speak into where I'm at, and or others where even if
they have nothing to speak into it, at least they can commiserate with me
; ) hhaaaahaha!

When I tried tracking on my own for the last few weeks (with everyday being
a new day to succeed at it, unlike the day before where I failed after
lunch!) I just couldn't for the life of me remember by lunch or mid
afternoon what my origional plan of the morning was! Drove me furious, and
then deeper into a hole of mourning my-selfs loss of self. Ya know? Just
kinda this deeper pit of dispair that I will never be able to battle the
bulge of. The roll at my waist is making it all the more painful. I feel
it sitting there as I sit here, or in the car, etc.... I had managed to lose
that last year spring... but... somehow I found it.

Join me tanukiki! I'm going to post here once a day... I'm starting my
meeting tomorrow night at 5:30... I'll let you know what they say as I walk
in with my head hung low

Sorry to hear about your DH, get rid of those bigger clothes then getting
into them isn't an option, as they get to big can them, go to a different
meeting for a bit, it will take away the fear of letting them see you and
you can go back to the preferred meeting when you can work it out... Stress
of having your DH hurt is a logical trauma that can make you eat, have a hug
for both of you, Lee
