I'm tired of consistently losing 5-10 pounds and then gaining 12 back. Done!

I've got short term goals, I've got long term goals, but the truth is, my main goal is to LOSE WEIGHT. I have just joined weight watchers, and have as much time as I need in the next few months to get a jump start on living the rest of my life in the body I WANT.

Background: Grew up heavy, hit 225 at the age of 19 or so (I'm 6'1 so I was never really fat so much as large). Something clicked, and I lost 75 pounds over a year and a half, down to 150. I LOVED myself at that weight. I mean, unstoppable. Then I met my now husband. Over our four years of dating, I have gone from 150 to 190. Right. 190. I have plenty of excuses for this but they are all just that: excuses. The clothes I wear don't care about my excuses. My reaction to photos of me don't change based on excuses. Excuses are getting me no where fast.

So it's time to just damn do it. For good. NOW. I am on day 1. Let's do it together!! I could really use some accountability... I tend to be great for several days and then fall off the radar (and into a bottle of wine). I also have a blog that I would love to share with everyone! I will have to figure out how to add it to my profile.

Hope to get to know all of you and hope to lose a good 30-40 pounds in the process!!

You can definitely do it, you already have!! You must look like a model, 6'1?? That's a beautiful height.
I am trying to lose 30 lbs as well

Ah, you're lucky that you'll have to lose less because you're so tall! It took a few failed efforts full of excuses before I really committed - I'm sure this is it for you! Welcome!
