542.0. "I try to loose weigth next year" by VNABRW::KAMIR () Fri Dec 29 1989 05:37

    hello!
    
    I tried to loose weigth a lot of times, somtimes with more somtimes
    with less success. Now I want to start the new year with
    weigth-watchers. I am 183cm tall and 214 pounds. Is there anyone
    (I want to loose 50 pounds of weigth) who will keep contact with
    me to strengthen my mind during the next few month?
    
    I wish all of you a happy successfull new year
    
    Karl

542.3	We're all in this together	COOKIE::WILCOX	Database Systems/West	`Fri Dec 29 1989 10:02`	14
	Karl, you can probably count on most of us to help you out! Sometimes all it takes is a freindly pat on the back when you need it. We're all in this together. I think you'll enjoy the WW program, I really do. Even when I don't follow it to the letter I notice that I have made great changes in my overall eating patterns. I dont' eat as much as often as I used to. We're here for you! Happy new year and happy new you! Liz

542.10	is that normal?	VNABRW::KAMIR		`Tue Feb 13 1990 06:30`	10
	.....up to now 12 lbs minus, but it seems to me that it is slowing down.... is that normal? I have not changed the diet nor my habit to sqash once a week. Karl
542.11	Patience is a virtue...	ULTRA::DWINELLS		`Mon Feb 19 1990 11:09`	13
	On most diets, you tend to loose fast at first, but then things slow down to a more normal pace. I laugh at any diet program that advertises a "quick lose plan". I suggest that you stick to your regiment and you will soon see the pounds melt away. Dieting re-enforces the cliche "Good things come to those who wait". Keep in mind... You didn't gain the weight overnight, so don't expect to loose if that fast either. Good luck!!
