The Weight Watcher Support Group is now LIVE!

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

***************************************************************************************************

HI all of my new Friends for Weight Loss!! I am so glad to have each and every one of you along for the journey. “Friends” is quite possibly the coolest Weight Watcher Support Group around because it is entirely driven by its users and everything they said you wanted to have in a support group.

****************************************************************************************************

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!!!
