Hi, my name is Rachel and I am new at this website. Everyone seems so encouraging. I need to lose 100lbs+. I am trying to stay positive. It really helps to read success stories. I just started WW 123. I have lost 2 pounds. Would really like to hear from others.

Hi Rachel:

I also am a WW 123 groupie.... and I am so happy to say that it is working great for me. I started on June 1, 1999 and now it is September 5 and I have already lost 52 lbs! This has been one of the hardest quests i have undertaken and have had to change my entire life.... I mean it is not easy putting yourself first when you have been so worried about taking care of other people for your whole like.... but selfishness is one of the keys to making yourself feel and look better. I haven't heard it talked about in "weight loss" circles, but so much of my attitude lately has been focused on improving me.... almost to a fault.... I dunno, i'm no expert on this stuff, just trying to get healthy!

I'd love to correspond with you and perhaps we could encourage one another.... I still have a long way to go, but have made that cliche first step!
