TOWN clubs
A number of times I have heard people grumble about the cost of WW meetings.
I myself have never gone because of this reason- being a student, it's just so difficulttime and money wise to make that commitment. What I would like to suggest, though, is that my Mum lost a lot of weight at the local TOWN club in Geelong.
Town stands for Taking Off Weight Naturally; they are not for profit, based in metro and country victoria, and I think it's a couple of dollars per meeting if I'm correct :)
The web address is at townclubs.com.au, and despite not having my own personal experiences of the place, I think every bit of support really helps. So if anyone is weighing up whether they can afford WW, TOWN seems like a pretty good place to start :)
Eating wise I had a good day- no exercise to speak of as so much homework. Feeling rather naughty that I didn't have a walk. (Plus I feel quite stiff after being in front of the computer most of the day).
I've also been eating a lot of yoghurt... I'm especially in love with the Nestle diet Cinnamon and Apple flavour... I only recently had the brainwave I could have been adding cinnamon to my yoghurts from the very beginning! Duh! I just adore cinnamon, so this is something I have been adding very recently... and also meaning I'm eating way too much yoghurt :P
Am trying to get my assignments under control so I can take a day off on the weekend to visit loved ones... I received a lovely letter in the post on Tuesday from my wonderful Mum. I really treasure the letters I receive from her for many reasons. It really makes me feel humbled to know she's thinking of me, and they always seem to be timed when she knows I'm feeling unhappy, or hasn't heard from me for some time. When I read them I can hear her talking aloud in the way she writes them.
I also got a few lovely text messages from friends, which gives me a boost. A particularly dearfriend called and asked me along to a concert with her and mutual friends and it just felt nice to be included in it... We're going to see the Dresden Dolls, in September I think it is... and with all the homework on the plate, I know it'll just be so good to look forward to.
Anywho.. this is me.. signing off.
See ya soon,

thats so sweet, i love getting "real" mail! Your Mum sounds lovely! :)
and yogurt is a great thing to snack on! you really can't go wrong, its good for you and so low in points, so enjoy!
i hope you find time for a walk today!
and i can relate on the too expensive part of meetings, but i have never paid for one. i went to the first meeting and said, i'm a student, i can't afford this but i need it, and can i help? so i hvae been weigher and recorder and got my meetings free that way. very handy! :)
have a great day!
Rae :)
hey kristy!
thanks for your words of encouragment i know i can accomplish my goals.
i know what you mean about the nestle yoghurt,i love them and yeah i think i eat too much yoghurt too.my fav is to chop up some strawberries and banana and top it with yoghurt...very filling and low point value too!
good luck with your assisgnments,i remember all too well my uni days :-)

I did WW us. It's kind of pricey but it can be helpfull. Many people do WW online and Tops meatings. Tops is like OA but older if you havn't heard of it.
Kristy - thanks for your comments on my blog - it brightened up my friday (feeling kinda low, waiting for weekend to begin...:)...so cheers to helping each other get thru our personal spped bumps!
I too find meetings jut don't fit in the budget - i'd rather spend the money of healthy fresh food and clothes!
But now that I have found WW online and blog-world I don't lack the support that I once found a problem finding! :)
Great to hear of your realistic but challenging goals for Aug - mine is to lose 3kg in 4wks...bring it on!
Good luck with the study...I'll be back to check up on your progress soon - for me now, its off to finish (and start!) my research data analysis...ARRRRHHHHHH!!!
