The online program is $17.95 per month... and it gives you ever single tool imaginable at your fingertips. Receipes, calculating tools, exercise tips, blogs, weight/activity trackers... EVERYTHING!

Think about this: Daily trips to the 7-11 might only be $2 for soda or a snack a day... but multiplied by 30 days of the month is $60! That's more than enough to pay for WW!

Seriously, check out the WW books on Amazon! You are gonna save a lot more $$ buying them online, than if you were to get them at a local bookstore. Many of the used books start out at A PENNY... you can't beat that!

At some point in our lives, we've all been where you are at ~ either physically or emotionally. We've all been afraid that we will fail... or perhaps that we might succeed. We've become attached to own comfort zones, ways of living AND eating... but there comes a time when YOU have to start the ball rolling. As much as any of us wants to help you my friend, YOU are the only one that can make these changes!

We are all routing for you... and look forward to seeing your healthy journey unfold!

Here is an update:

I called My primary doctor, who is also My trans doctor and because he only works on Friday's they are booking like two weeks in advance ~ but there is no way they can pencil Me in until October 28th! Thats NOT even close to being acceptable, so I've called a doctor I've seen before in the same strip mall as My parent's floral shop and they receptionist will get back to Me this afternoon. I don't like that I have to wait so I'm currently looking into walk-in clinics that may be in My area and if I have to I will take Myself to one of them and go from there. The nurse at My primary physician's office suggested that I keep this current doctor as My trans doctor but instead find another doctor as My family physician. I am going to do that so that's My next plan of action .......... I had a 500ml of pepsi and stuck it in the fridge, out of sight out of mind and I am currently drinking water as well as I just put 3-4 bottles of water in the fridge to make it cold.

Also I am stopping buying things at 7-11 unless I want the occasional lottery ticket, calling card etc ~ NO more slurpees, certainly no more pop, no more chocolate or anything of the sort. Starting tonight, after supper, I'm going to walk around the block atleast once a day; I'll build that up and then say after a week I'll increase the area and/or time in which I walk every week. More water, LOTS more, much more activities, I'm going to look into a discounted gym membership at the YMCA and have two 5lb weights sitting in the living room that I am going to start using. NO excuses and NO more waiting, this is ridiculous and its time I started looking out for Myself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I want everyone to know that I never once thought of anyone as bugging Me; I see it as friends helping Me out and everyone here has always come from a place of love and concern. I'm doing My best to get in to see a doctor, be it a walk in doctor or the woman who is near My parents flower shop ........... either way I'm working to get this taken care of! Thank you to all of My friends here for being concerned about Me, for the tips and all the help ~ it means alot to Me and I appreciate & love each of you :-)

P.P.S ~ a special thank you goes out to sweetfemme for talking to Me today! Your a bigger support than you may realize, but I'm not going to miss this chance to say the biggest THANK YOU I can find .......... it'll never be good enough to tell you how much I appreciate the support today and always
