Last weigh in was 233 lbs.. So wish me luck pleasse!
That's one thing about my workouts right now is that I kinda feel a little bit stuck ~ I'm doing treadmill, the 9-circuit weights and then ending with the cycling machine. I wish the gym that I was at had other things like a pool etc but its only a smaller gym so I use what they got. I'm looking into one other gym that has more services than the one I have has to offer; the monthly fee isn't much more than what I'm paying now and it has other things like a pool, a track for walking/running and other things too.

I'm only looking into things right now, we'll see how it goes and one day I'll probably stop by to actually take a tour or check it out ~ for now I will stick to my regular gym and keep going

sylvie ~ your doing sooooooooooooo good, keep it up girl

I chose WW because there aren't any special diets or tricks. Nothing is off limits, but having a daily point allowance lets you make heathier choices of what you should or shouldn't eat. You can figure out ww points on every single item with a nutritional label on the back.

When you sign up, they give you a target point range, with an extra weekly allowance. As you start losing weight, your target points range will start to decline.

It's super easy to use, too! Thousands of great recipes, eating out cheat sheets (so you can figure things out before you go out), workout tips and community blogs.

They have TONS of restaurants listed as well. If they aren't listed, all you have to do is google "ww points in *insert restaurant here*" and you'll find other websites that do have the calculations.

The monthly online rate is $17.95... which to me is not too bad. They also have the local meetings that you can do instead (I'm not too sure on the price range of this). Or a combination of the two.... it's up to you.
I was thinking about joining Weight Watchers too, doing something to kick start more of my weight loss. I'm gonna look into meetings and online, though I think meetings will probably work better for me
