When I told her WW, she shouted, "I love WW, my mom used to take me along when I was a kid and I learned so much about eating, that's how I eat now." Beginning early in life is KEY to a healthy lifestyle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915663773059643299.post-65588586075241340932011-12-10T13:27:12.685-05:002011-12-10T13:27:12.685-05:00Hi Dave,

I joined WW online in September and am fully committed and loving it. I must tell you that making Jennifer Hudson a spokesperson was insightful and most encouraging especially if you've followed her career (pre-WW). Her success in program is impressive and inspirational. I have found a new lifestyle via WW and my journey is extraordinary!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915663773059643299.post-66729692880761830952011-12-09T19:12:51.039-05:002011-12-09T19:12:51.039-05:00Hi, Dave

Your family is and has been on the road to a healthy lifestyle.<br /><br />As a lifetime member, I was truly pleased to know that now I can enjoy e-tools free as long as I meet the requirements--weigh-in every month, and, of course, be no more that the two pounds over my goal weight. This is a great incentive.<br /><br />Once again--thanks !<br /><br />DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915663773059643299.post-9799349265152919762011-12-09T18:38:51.516-05:002011-12-09T18:38:51.516-05:00I appreciate your inspiring words, your honesty an...I appreciate your inspiring words, your honesty and the obvious love you have for your family.

I, too, hope what they see their father and I doing will be imprinted on them for life. A most compelling motivation for us is to do all we can to avoid becoming a health burden to our children. <br /><br />I also love reading your posts, and thank you for giving us a view into the daily life of our leader.

I'm working on my doctoral dissertation now to learn more about diet sabotage by partners/spouses. <br /><br />While it's challenging to lose weight on your own, it's not necessarily easier with a spouse or partner. Sometimes partners/spouses undermine weight loss through acts like complaining about healthier food, gifting high-caloric foods, or even through abusive language/acts. I'm creating an anonymous, online survey, PUBS-WL, to assess for partner undermining and to learn more from those who experience it. Eventually, I hope to develop an intervention to address the undermining and foster active, attentive support of healthful decisions between partners/spouses.Amanda G.

Your role model as a parent may be your most important one of all. Actions do speak louder than words. My own kids are now 20 and 23 and live far away. Imagine my delight as I see them exercising and making super food choices. They learned without pressure and I could not be prouder. That's what Weight Watchers does too.

With the enhanced design elements, the site's functionality, ease of use, and aesthetic quality have all greatly increased. The updated design brings a fresh, inspiring new outlook to the company.<br /><br />I hope that your team continues to work diligently to bring the same updates to the trackers, and eventually the main site.SouthernBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00560983462885079582noreply@blogger.com
