Back on WW...I joined again tonght.
A group of friends are doing WW and I joined w/them tonight. Girls, I am scared.
I am on meds that virtually make it impossible for me to loose weight (beta blockers).
My eating has gotten out of control b/c I think "why bother". Why try so hard and not loose anything or loose .2 or .5 when everyone else is loosing 2, 3, 5, 7 lbs. So I joined again knowing that throwing in the towel is not my style and I need to get my eating back under control, meds or no meds.
Sooooo I am wondering "Am I setting myself up for failure here?" I am so A type personality that I will be in the gym 3-4 days a week and follow my points plan and if I do not loose weight I fear I may get frustrated and give up.
Coming off the meds ARE NOT an option at this time. I may be on them for the rest of my life. I feel great that I am gaining control of my eating again, I just fear I am going to loose it if I bust my azz for weeks and have nothing to show for it, ya know?
I am really scared I will give up again after 3-4 weeks, if I have not lost anything. Well, all I can do is try my best, not get crazy about it and stick to it, right?

Try not to focus on the scale, but rather on how your clothes are fitting and how your body feels more toned and strong from working out. Good Luck!

Good luck  You can do it. Just take one day at a time. And if you have a set back, brush it off and keep going.

Re: Back on WW...I joined again tonght.
Welcome back
I totally get how you feel right now and that you want this weight off but slow and steady wins the race. In fact, studies have shown that the longer it takes you to lose the weight, the longer you will keep it off! That's reason enough to be patient 
I have a friend that I go to ww with. She started shortly after I did. She was the same way, lost .2 here, .4 there etc. But ya know I give her SO much credit for not throwing in the towel. Now she is down over 25 lbs!! These little losses add up and they are all important.
Good luck!!!!
ETS: This is NOT a race it's a journey. Stay focused on your own path and use others for motivation and inspiration but don't let it discourage you.
