How much does it cost? Do they help you fit in exercise in your schedule?
That's the bit I'm having trouble with, actually finding time to be healthy 
Meal planning is also a big one for me. Dinner for us is usally whatever my hand touches first in the freezer and that I can be arsed to make LOL ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| ooh, let me know how you go BSDH as am trying to convince Lew to join with me when we move. he's moaned about his weight for ages and I think his competitive streak would make him do it if we joined together. he just thinks it's "girlie" at the mo. |

yeah i was dragged along....he needs to lose for his health really - and mum wanted to do it too...so it makes it a lot easier...
there is a lot in the plans i dont eat as i dont eat a lot of veges etc...but will do it as best i can... heres hoping I will be a lot smaller by summer!!! cost wise - well it apparently has gone up a lot - its$15-17 a meeting now. Im allowed more points cause i am BFing which is good....but DH still gets more points than me...Im really gonna miss my rice and protein drinks!  but i lost 29 kilos once before and am determined to do it again....

You go, girl!
Very sensible to have everyone in the family supporting each other as well, makes it easier to not be cooking separate meals etc to. Well done. x |

Good luck to you both! I know so many people who have had heaps of success with WW.
I joined bought the WW at home kit cause I wasn't into going to meetings and stuff...really just wanted the points guides.. used it for 3 weeks and lost 3 kilos, but then found out I was pregnant and thought it would be pointless to keep going.. thought I would wait until after I had the baby to start again... still waiting

BS, I used to work at WW, and you should get a discount on the weekly fee as your are joining with another family member in the same household. If they didn't do the discount ask them about it. It should be around $13ish for you each.
Just out of interest how many points did they give you while B/Feeding. Weird timing, DH and I were just discussing WW earlier today ------------- http://lilypie.com">

we used coupons so we got two joining fees free and one discounted...and then we pay $15 pp for meetings - that is the new consession for householders - DH did it a few years ago and lost 30kg or so and he said it was a lot cheaper then....
Im on 30 points total - think it is 2 more for BF - but after my birthday i lose those 2 points cause i change age groups...ugh! |

Good on you guys - good luck! I have lost 10kg twice on WW (pre-baby and then post-baby). Its really easy once you get nto the swing of it and if you exercise most days. ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Amy & Pepsi, if you want we can all go together since we're all locals?
I need someone to keep me going and keep me motivated (that's why I keep roping all my friends into coming to yoga, makes me feel like I have to go or else I'll let them down - strange psychology (sp?) but seems to work for me) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I already forked out a couple of hundy for the "at home" pack so wouldn't want to pay again to join I could still do it though, just without the WW meetings I guess..maybe we could have our own meetings to weigh in..it's definitely more motivating to have someone else see how much weight you lose..

OH MY GOSH you are exactly what I need....a mate to rope along to the meetings to share in my ups and downs. (like I don't already) I think if I take a mate you don't have to pay for the joining, but will have to check to make sure they still have it! |
