To go or not to go............

To go or not to go to Weight Watcher meetings???.......... I'm sure this is a question many of you ask yourself. Even if you are a paying member, or someone just wanting to start. " Do I need to go today?" "I'm so tired....I'm so busy""I can do this on my own!"....Really? Is that true? I myself , need the accountability as I have blogged before. I need the interaction with all my friends & fellow W.W. members. I get a ton of ideas~each week!!! Most of all I need Julie!!!!!! I am lucky enough to absolutely love my leader. I am so lucky to have had her help me on this journey. So, all I can say, find a class, get to know the people & your leader, this might not happen over night!! Be an involved member! (talk ~share your tips & ideas, you never know who you will touch!!) I am always touched when a fellow member comes to me to tell me something I have said helped them!!! That's Amazing!!



START SOON....IMAGINE WHERE YOU WILL BE A YEAR FROM NOW!!!!!



The meetings provide a way for dieters to vent about their frustrations, share what is working for them and what isn’t and receive feedback from other members of the group. The feedback can be immensely helpful to those who are struggling to lose weight. Hearing from others who are in the same boat and listening to what works for them might give you some valuable insight into your own weight loss journey. And when weight loss becomes a struggle, having a shoulder to lean on is extremely comforting.
Knowing that you have to attend a Weight Watchers meeting and weigh in helps to hold dieters accountable for their weight loss. It is too easy to slack off on your diet or hide from the scale when you are doing it on your own. After all, who will know but you? Weight Watchers meetings ensure that you will have to face the scale and be held accountable.
