Hey man when i moved back from school a couple years ago i weighed myself and realized i had gotten big!! My fiance had asked me a bunch of times to go with her to Weight Watchers, and i always had too big of an ego or whatever to do it. Then i finally realized, what the hell do i have to be worried about. I had always thought it was for women and stuff like that, but I started, and really its just a good way to make you think about weight loss, find out easier ways to enjoy eating healthy, talk with other people who are doing the same thing, and more than anything their system helps make it easier to keep track of what your are eating and what you should be eating. No one knows what you weigh in there or how much you have lost, but when you have a big milestone, 10,20,30, 50, whatever, they will ask if its all right with you if they tell the group. It feels good to have some recognition. Another thing is, they have scales that will work for you, if you are spending money to go to the doctor, it might be cheaper to spend the 39 bucks a month to go there, and you weigh in once a week.

When i started there, i was shocked to see that i weighed 371. In about six months, i dropped all the way down to 306. Now for a while i've been a dumbass and gained back about 20, but i'm in the progress of doing it again. I am getting married in june of next year and want to drop about 60 pounds or so before then. All i can say is it worked well for me. You might consider it. My doctor says for my height i need to get down to about 250 and he thinks i'll be healthy as can be, he doesn't see me needing to be below that unless i am unhappy at that point. Biggest thing is just stick with it man, i don't know of too many things more rewarding than weight being gone that you fought to lose.
