Most people here are using weight watchers program. That was what worked for me, but I have tried a
bunch of other stuff. I have lost a total of 205 pounds, 87 of that in 19 months on weightwatchers.
I have been at a normal weight now for 3 months.

Hi John. Although most people here use the Weight Watchers program, it's not necessary. All you have
to do is want to lose weight & just jump in and join in the discussions. You'll pick up lots of
hints & lots of support. The official welcome letter will give you all the links & help that you'll
ever need. Wish you luck.

Welcome to the group John. Several of us are following WW others aren't. You're welcome to stick
around if you like. The support from this group is wonderful.

Welcome to our little corner of the world! If you are looking for support, tips, hints, info, help
and general knowledge - you have definitely come to the right place. Everyone here has been through
the same struggles, and started from the same place ... overweight. You don't have to be following
the ww program, although many of us do. But there are those that follow their own plans, or atkins,
whatever - all are welcome.

Feel free to post any questions you may have, jump in anywhere!

No, we welcome anyone trying to lose weight sensibly! No faddy grapefruit and cardboard dieter here!
😉 If we offer nutritional information, it comes from reliable sources, and we can quote them if you
like. WW is the main theme here, but not the only story.

Be welcome and ask away!

Hi and welcome, John. This group is pretty much for anyone who is "watching
their weight", although I do think most of us are at least using some of the
WW tools if not active members. So ask away... there are quite a few
knowlegable folks who hang out here. 🙂
