The only way around this is to have your doctor write a note stating what he thinks an acceptable weight is for you.
Yep, this is probably what DH is going to have to do, as I think he'd have to take off a limb to hit 180. Alas, it means he cannot be a WW leader, because they require that you be at "real" goal level.
Hopefully that'll change in the next year or two, because he would be a FABULOUS leader!
No, it doesn't. From some of the community board postings, some onliners have posted that they lose weight while online up until they're 10 pounds or so from their goal weight, and then join meetings just to get to lifetime from there.
I see their point, but not sure how I feel about it.
If I were an online only member, I'd do it. Some locations require 10, but others only require 5. After all, to *join* WW you only have to be 5 lbs over your minimum allowed WW weight. I like that they recognize that catching a gain early is good! If only I'd caught mine back then, LOL.
Then once I was inside that range, I'd join the meetings, pay for the meetings to make Lifetime, and then show up for the meetings to keep getting the etools voucher. I like having Lifetimers at meetings; they are an inspiration for me!
Hello I joined weight watchers in January and have lost 31.8 pounds.
Congratulations!!!
I can't be that complicated.
I just keep figuring 5% based on my original weight. I was actually kind of disappointed when I found out that they don't celebrate percents after reaching the 10% when I reached 15% so my leader said we would celebrate any way.
20% is just around the corner.
I don't care what they say, I'll be celebrating when I hit my 20%. I'm even going to give myself one of my old 10% keychains back.
Though actually, our leader loves the repeat stuff, so I know she'll be happy to celebrate every 10%. For instance, I don't know if it's a thing that she does on her own or if it's WW's thing, but she gives out the 16 week clapping hands charms for every 16 weeks you do. While that's my least fave charm, and I'd rather collect 5K charms (they are silver-tone and therefore prettier to my eyes), I'll take whatever they give us!
Hubby hit the 30 pound mark yesterday! Even after a week of travel in Dallas, eating TexMex! Congrats to DH! It won't be that long until he finally hits his 10%, for the first time ever. I'm so proud of him.
I am sure this week will be a different story. I will just have to be extra careful on what I eat.
I have tried to get back on it a few times and have really struggled. So here I am, trying again. I'm hoping that by participating in these boards it will help keep me motivated. Thanks in advance to all of you for being here and being supportive!
