Hi, and welcome! Just to let you know, you're not the only one who thought this plan made sense--and I still think it does, LOL. I was also on WW years back and had weight loss just about like you, about a half-pound a week. I was all the time hungry and hated the meetings and forking out my weekly fees so they could draw it out even longer so I'd have to pay more money. It's a plot, I tell you, an evil plot!

Anyhow, I've been at this a week tomorrow and so far have lost about 5 pounds, and I declare but the pants I wore this evening already felt looser! I couldn't hardly believe it! One daughter said, 'Well, maybe they were stretched out a bit,' and I said, 'No, these were just freshly washed!' When I saw one of my sisters yesterday from the week before she said she could notice I'd lost weight, and that just seems ridiculous at my size to notice a 5-pound weight loss. But am I complaining? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
