Hi Kate,
I use this site as my meeting/leader/motivator as well. I don't attend any structured meetings but I try to follow WW as best I can.

I lost 120 pounds 10 years ago using Nutrisystem where one buys all meals a week at a time. I had so much to lose and they weren't willing to work with me at all. Needless to say, all those pounds came back plus about 50! I never learned how to eat properly after all the money I had given them.

Now I think I can quote the "motivation" discussions verbatim and actually I use much of it without even realizing it. I find this weight loss stuff is so much internal - one has to WANT it and figure out in our own heads what we're willing to do to achieve goal. I've found I trick myself into thinking certain things and make deals with myself. :lol It's all so psychological, as Kim says.

Stick around and be inspired by all the great work the G2Gers are doing. :)

My husband and I considered living aboard a boat at one time. We've had a few sailboats and dreamed of cruising the world. Good luck with this construction. How exciting a time it is for you! :)
