New to Group

I found this group after searching on my Blackberry for an application to help me keep track of my Weight Watcher points.

I am doing WW with 4 friends (one who has attended meetings and is helping the rest of us understand it all). I'm still a bit confused on the flex and activity points.

I'm a step-mom to two teenagers and I'm very active in animal rescue. I have three labs - most of my 'exercise' is spent in the backyard playing with them. I know I need to incorporate more than that and I'm hoping the Wii will help (plus get my fiance' AND the kids more involved,too).

Good luck to everyone and it's wonderful to 'meet' so many people with the same goals.

Welcome to fatsecret! I love this website! It's great that you are working with other people on your weight loss goals. Buddies can help you challenge yourself to push harder, and stick to the game plan for your goals. I hope you have a lot of luck with your weight loss goals! (Or rather, I hope you stick to the plan and work hard to lose the weight!)
Welcome!!

OH and there should also be a free Blackberry Application for this fatsecret.com website! I believe one of my friends have it and I have the version for iPhone-it's great!

Indeed, the bb application is amazing! It makes it 10 times easier to track your intake when you are out-n-about.

Thanks for the welcome! I actually felt bad for two of my friends who are struggling to keep track of their points, so I told them to text me if they needed to search for a certain food when they are out. Hopefully they will all join us on here as well.

That would be great Gina! And that's so nice of you to look stuff up for them! I'm not sure what I would do without a tracking app of some sort on my phone. It would be sooo much more work!

I think I actually talked one of my on-line lab friends to join us here. She did weight watchers in the past and lost 40 lbs. Then she lost her job and wound up putting it back on. I'll be the FatSecret recruiter - haha! I figure the more people that I get to join, the more support I will have!
