I've done real but not on-line. For me, the cumpulsory weigh-in was the most painful and the most effective part of the process, so I while I think the online would be a valuable resource, I don't think it would be sufficient. For me.

Have any of the Bitches done online Weight Watchers? What did you think?

Betsy, a few days ago my aunt was telling about her experience with it -- she likes it b/c it's convenient and she doesn't really like/need the whole group experience. (Though my aunt also said that on a week where she gained weight, when she entered her weight on the website, a little box came up saying something along the lines of "Uh-oh, you've gained weight! Is there any part of the program that you need help with?" Which prompted my aunt to reply -- vocally -- "Fuck off, you hunk of metal!" She's very practical.)

she doesn't really like/need the whole group experience.

That part I'm with her on - I generally either tuned out or skipped entirely the meeting part. But the having someone else weigh you so no fudging...It was good for me to have the outside pressure.

And FWIW, none of the real live WW people ever said anything remotely like that when I'd have an up week.

I do the in-person WW with online as a backup. I use online for recipes and such. I need the once a week check just to keep focussed. Which, admittedly, hasn't been terribly focussed as of late. But, I'm getting back on track after finals/holidays/etc.

Gulp. Kay. Just sent the email packet containing a cover letter, resume, and writing sample. Guess I'm really doing this.

Also, I've done some laundry, and de-clogged and scrubbed the entire tub. (I promised myself I could use one of Raquel's Christmas bath bombs if I did.) Now, I need to really tackle the dishes. To do mine, I have to get through the roomies, which have been in the sink for, and I shit you not, A MONTH. (I've been largely using plastic when I eat here at all.) I'm ascared of what's going to be in there.

Right there with you, Kathy! I've been backsliding for a while, and really need to get focused again.

Good on you, Lilty, for the resumes and the bath bombs and the glayvin. The dishes sound very scary. I am a slob with a high tolerance for piling dishes on the counter, but a month is well beyond my limits.

That thing that was so scary that I couldn't talk about it and that I found out about on Friday afternoon when I couldn't do a damn thing about it either? Worked out.

Excellent good news!

It's enough to make me wish I was more confrontational. They were part of the snowman barrage that came out of the basement, mostly candy dishes and serving trays and such. Never used, just out of the bin and into the sink. I can't handle it anymore. And of late, I've even been a pretty messy person!

Go, Lilty!! I suspect that you may find Lutherans in your sink.

Right there with you, Kathy!

Yeah, the holidays were a bitch. But, I'm getting my shit back together now and I'm feeling better. I didn't feel good eating the way I was over the holidays. Of course, that didn't stop me from doing it!
