If you need a support group, and many of us do, then Weight Watchers works for just that reason. But you're likely to have more success going to a real life group than online. Just like a real life exercise buddy works better than an online one. Simply because the real life one will be pissed standing there for half an hour waiting for you to show up and walk with her.

I feel you...I have many friends on Weigh Watchers and they love it, its a personal choice, I just try and eat good and fail, but do exercise and try my best.All I can say is find something you are comfertable with and PLEASE dont try and lose 40 lbs in a month like so many try...Do it healthy and you will be on your way :) Exercise is key, you dont have to make yourself crazy about it, just at least get 30 minutes a day of some sort of activity and watch the fat and get a lot of FIBER lol :) Good luck!

*noms on Silk*

Well you know I'm doing Weight Watchers but I'm not really using Val or anything else as my guide. I don't like the idea of people losing weight or quitting addictions with too much help from a dominant rather then themselves or a counciler type figure though I'm sure people do it. Valyraen supports me in small ways but it's really all me.

PS - Though it's already been pointed out: Once you hit your goal weight you get lifetime membership for free and they help you maintain your weight if you gain back or for keep losing (it's happening to a woman in my group). Which is great here since if you got everything under control and then had problems later you'd have to pay to see a doctor again. And yeah I'm late to the thread, who wants to give me my spanking?

i'm not on any specific plan, none i was able to actually stick with. But i'm keeping my own food journal online that has helped me, and my Dom has been behind me and making sure i eat sensibly and not overdo it. But i've always been a bigger girl since i was about 15. Best of luck to you is the best advice i can give you, and happy that your Dom is behind you 100%

weight watchers does work for some people. but mainly it's got to be about the discipline, i think.
a chick i knew lost 40 lbs or so using it, but she didn't really LEARN anything, and gained it all back.

i did weight watchers after having my son, put it back on, went to slimming world, put it back on. had my gall bladder out last year and im staying slim! - sadly they dont allow you to have your gall bladder out for any other reason than if it stayed it might kill you. but i say its up there with having your tummy stapled.

it is about discipline and where better to get that and support than your D. Sir is going to weigh me and measure me, though im doing ok on my own, the big thing for me is the gym. i say im going to go and then i dont. ive stayed the same weight now for an age, but people keep saying ive lost more weight, i havent, its just the gym puts everything back, more or less where it should be. knowing that he's going to be keeping an eye on my fitness regime will keep me focused on it - i lack self discipline, so if youre anything like me, discipline from somewhere else, notably your D is a big help.

the discipline issue is a big one for me, i don't have much of it in regards to WORKING on losing weight =p i'm not terribly huge but i don't want the extra that i have, and well
what my Dom has been stressing with me is that getting healthier and losing numerical weight aren't always connected. because of my newest particularly addictive hobby, i've lost a good deal of fat but the muscle gain makes me weigh heavier which (in movie announcer voice) in a world where your numerical weight is all that matters, that can cause a bit of anxiety if you aren't prepared for it =p blaaah
anyway, i think once we get started on his various ideas, it'll work out better because knowing that he's paying attention and cares about it like i do will be a great motivator.

gah, it sucks so much when you're on a diet or something and your chick friends go out of their waaaaay to eat cheesecake in your face!!!
ugh. =p

I think the bondage site (or maybe another one) has a group call "fit to be tied". I didn't try googling it, but if you do, put that phrase in parenthesis, and some key words such as bondage or bdsm following.

I think it's an interesting idea to have a dominant inflict discipline where there is none... but it's also a scary proposition...

I dunno.

The idea of losing weight vs. getting healthy is an interesting concept that many people don't understand. In some cases *weight is the problem*

For instance, my doctor has told me that if I don't lose WEIGHT I will die sooner, rather than later. I quizzed him on it, talked to him about it...

he didn't mean that I need to get healthier. He actually did mean that I need to LOSE WEIGHT. I'm apparently pretty damned healthy (except for my genetic High Blood Pressure and asthma). The problem is that the current weight is KILLING me, regardless of if it were muscle weight or fat weight.

So keep in mind that losing weight vs. staying healthy aren't ALWAYS the same thing, though I wish they were.

(before people ask, yes, I've gotten two 'second opinions', one of them a nutritionist, and both agreed with him. Unfortunately the nutritionist didn't know what to do to help me since I'm eating relatively healthily considering my situation)

I'm always looking for ways to stay healthy. But I guess I need to look for ways to lose weight now, too, beyond what I'm doing already (which is smaller portions, watching WHAT I eat (fats and things), and other methods).

I do <3 silk, though, and she's doing absolutely great :D I wish she were coming back for this weekend though!

EDIT: Took out the 'my'... she's not actually mine :D Just one of my bestest friends!

I wish I had a Master who would keep tabs on what I eat, etc. Hafta admit me gaining weight is a health issue right now...
