So right there with you Laurie, I did the same thing, hence the bet ; ) I feel like the WW IS helping me stay on track and keep sight of the short term goal, which is to make sure I at least get my bet back !!! I think the combination of the two is helping to keep me really focused. With WW alone, the goal seemed soooo far away, but the combination of the two is a game changer, well for me anyway. Hope that helps!!!! Would love to hear what you decide and how your making out !
