FAQ

1. What do the numbers in people's signatures mean?

   The first number is the person's starting weight, the second number is their current weight, and the third number is their goal weight.

   Often, people will add intermediate numbers as "mini-goals." This way they concentrate on losing just the next 5 pounds, or the next 1 pound.

6. Where can I find out about weight loss surgery, prescription drugs, herbal, etc.?

   ASDWW is not the appropriate place for such discussions. This newsgroup is about the Weight Watchers way of reaching and maintain a goal weight. While we welcome participants who are not on the Weight Watchers program, discussions about other methods of weight loss belong in alt.support.diet, alt.support.diet.rx or another appropriate newsgroup.
