I did WW online last year with good success. Even though I stopped around March I've managed to keep off most of the weight I lost, so I call that a win. I want to get back into it myself. My place of employment is talking about having an "at work" WW meeting (where a leader comes in and does a meeting during lunch time) I'm hoping my lunch schedule will accommodate it. Regardless I need to get back to the eating healthy and walking my dog routine I was in last year. I'm just lacking in motivation right now. *sigh*
I did it at work and got from 345ish down to 290ish. Then I continued to work out and track eating for a while in Massachusetts, and got down to 270ish, at which point I turned incredibly vain.
I've managed, since breaking up, moving, stopping going to the gym and going back to eating a lot of out and a lot of nukables to track back up to 300ish, which I'm not happy about.
Having a live in diet/excercise partner was a real win. Now I'm going to have to learn to do it for myself.
Stress is what caused me to get off track as well. I'm thankful I kept the weight off but I was nowhere near my goal when I stopped. I'd only lost about 20 pounds with about 40 more to go.
Having a buddy in the journey is definitely a big help. I had other people on my friends list doing it as well last year which helped.
Here is to our mutual success on the journey to better health!
Swooning ladyfolk eh? I think you can have that now. My experience has been that attraction comes more from confidence than physical appearance. Don't get me wrong, there needs to be some chemistry, which physical looks play a part in, but it's not the whole thing.
Although I will admit to my own journey being the teeniest bit about wanting to be seen as a hottie and not just "the cute one" which has been my lot in life. Heh. But mostly my motivation is health. Being able to climb stairs without getting seriously winded, being able to lift heavyish stuff without hurting myself, improving flexibility etc.
Your point is solid. But it's a little easier, I suspect, to be confident if you look into the mirror and see Brandon Routh versus seeing Paul Giamatti. I'm sure that some people can see superman in the mirror no matter how they're actually shaped, and more power to them.
Let me know how WW goes for you, good luck!

Although, truth be told, health is a rather abstract reward. I'm personally hoping for the swooning of the ladyfolk.
