I'm mother of two and step mom of one. My girls are gone more than home so I guess you could say I have empty nest syndrome. I just turned the big 40 and weigh more than ever before though I have always been heavy. I have joined WW online as well as purchasing the books online but have yet to be able to get myself motivated to stay on track. Not really good at the journaling part. Every time I think about loosing the weight I eat more. It doesn't help that I work a second job three days a week and don't get home before 8 at night. Don't really want to cook that late which leads to eating quick fix stuff, which is another of my downfalls not actually "cooking" meals. I too saw this on the today show and since yesterday have been checking out the site there seems to be alot of motivated people. Hope some of your good luck and motivation will rub off on me. Thanks for listening Yo
