HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!! It’s here, IT’S FINALLY HERE!!! We are ready to officially and unofficially release the WEIGHT WATCHERS SUPPORT GROUP you all requested! It’s not perfect and there are still so many things we are going to add, but, we are definitely ready to start making some new FRIENDS FOR WEIGHT LOSS!
We pondered several names, but, really it came down to what the group is all about ~ You, my Friends in Weight Loss that always support and encourage me everyday!
HERE IS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET STARTED

I will be spending this weekend sending out an email to everyone who requested to be part of the group. We still have some improvements and tons of data we will be adding (my recipe file is HUGE!)
For now, I want to know your thoughts!
Q: What do you think of the new Weight Watcher Support Group site I set up for everyone?
I kinda really like it, but, I might be a bit impartial since I’ve been looking at it for TWO weeks A HUGE THANKS goes out to Zesty Cook of Zesty Blog Consulting for all of his amazing work. It honestly looks the way it does because of their fantastic technical skills.
Head on over to Friends for Weight Loss now, sign up and add me to your friends ~ My user name is Danica!
Catch ya’all later!!!
Oh Yay!
Can’t wait, thanks Danica.
I’ll share the news in my Weekly Wrap tomorrow.
I love your blog and am so excited you started this new forum. I signed up but must be a bit special – how do I post an introduction? I went to the “introduce yourself” forum but can’t figure out how to write anything! Thanks so much – I’m looking forward to this!
*yeay* and Congrats on the launch. 🙂
I was hoping I wasn’t all that premature when I joined last night lol.
Hi Lisa,
Thanks!!! I am really excited! There are two ways you can do it.
1. You need to click in the forum on the topic in the forum for the group you want, i.e., “New”, introduce yourself. Then, type in the reply box. See, even I didn’t get it either 🙂
2. If you post in the forum, simply created a new topic and pick the group introduce yourself. You can also post directly under the Introduce Yourself group. Please let me know if this works or not.
Thanks,
Danica
Excited can’t wait
