i hear ya girl. i've been up and down(but mostly up!) in my weight all my life. my grandma is the same way. we even did weight watchers together when i was in high school. i lost about 20lbs on ww. the real weight came off when i went to bootcamp for the navy. but that was almost 7 years ago, and now i'm bigger than ever. my gma and i find that the south beach diet works the best for us, although i still do love the ww plan, it makes a lot of sense. but i guess we're just carb girls. anywho, good luck to you, i'm on your side! i know it's tough, but we just have to think about the light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how stinkin long it takes us to get there! 

Amen! 

I must be living your life in a parallel universe! I really have been on and off diets since I was 12! I followed WW when I was 12 when my mom went to meetings. I lost over 20 lbs at the time and was the thinnest I've ever been in my whole life. And it's been mostly downhill since then! Gain, lose, gain, gain some more, lose, gain, gain again, and on and on. And I certainly notice how people don't even look at me when I am heavier. I mean, not even a passing glance. I feel invisible sometimes! But that will change soon enough. Then I will be complaining that they are staring, I suppose! Well, good on ya for taking the steps towards a healthier, happier you! 

You can do it Buddie! I did myself in this past week with forgetting to eat..(as you read on my journal)..it seems like I can't win sometimes...but I must say this site really,really helps me stay focused on the 'end goal'...You keep at it and drink all that water and more and you'll get there!! Hugs to ya Buddie and have a great weekend!! 

Yes Red, you will do this!! :)
