I've tried all kinds of diets, but can not take the pills. I take meds for high blood pressure and thyroid and diet pills are not a good mix.

I'm wanting to join Weight Watchers. A very dear friend I met through YT was sending me the books that have all the points in them, but they have been lost in the mail. Maybe they'll still arrive, but it's been over 4 weeks now.

So, WW is on Thursday nights here and until Oct 7th is only $20 to join. Not sure yet how much every week, but do know the first visit is free. So I plan on checking it out.

I'm embarassed to say that I need to lose at least 82 lbs. perferably 85-90 lbs. It's just so hard for me. I've never been skinny, but have had to watch my weight my whole life and now I need to do something about it. I get so depressed thinking about it and not realizing beore that "HEY, I need a bigger size" so I could lose just a few lbs instead of having to lose so many now.

I was never a clothes shopper so I never noticed it so much..the bigger I got the more my old clothes kind of stretched. I could just kick myself. I plan on going to WW next Thursday to see if I think it will work for me. Keep your fingers crossed.

Good luck to you if you want to take the diet pills, but as one woman to another, maybe a more healthy way would be better.
