I'm gonna lose it and keep it off this time!
My name is Laura. User name is Chubbygirl253 and I just started a blog on here Confessions of a chubby girl... so more to come on that!
I lost 68 lbs on weight watchers 5 years ago but I gained it back and so when I decided a few weeks ago to try again I was literally at the biggest I have ever been. (18 pounds higher than my 2007 starting weight)
So I started ww again on June 17th and so far I have lost 9 lbs! It would be more but I stumbled a bit on my birthday weekend. Just turned 35 last week. My wish is that by my next bday I won't be fat anymore. My starting weight was 330 but I'm on my way! (I'm doing the old version of ww because I don't care for the points plus version)
I have a wonderful boyfriend, Stephen who is so loving and supportive! And he loves my curves so I know he thinks I'm beautiful no matter what!
I have no kids of my own but I have a little nephew who is two and Stephen has a daughter who is three. I plan to have the little ones take me for walks since they have boundless energy!
My goal weight is 165 which I think would be a healthy size for someone 5'7 and it is also exactly half of my starting weight. Hard to admit I need to lose half my body weight. That's a whole person! But I'm gonna do it!
GOAL WEIGHT: 170 lbs to start...then 150 lbs....then reassess
HEIGHT: 5' 2"

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: In the past I have lost the battle due to quitting during a plateau; dieting instead of changing my lifestyle; excuses; binging.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I have made a lifestyle change that is sustainable and easy to follow; i want to be a good example for my daughter; I discovered that I LOVE running and want to keep doing it!
Finally Reached my 30 days on the forum!!! So excited to share my bio

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Will Power
WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: Fear of what will happen if I don't do this.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I will succeed this time!!!

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Sticking to the lower calories. Even if I eat a healthy 1700 I feel too hungry the next day to continue. Also planned exercising sessions, I just hate to exercise. But I will go for a longer walk or bike ride so I do get some activity.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: Trying not to weigh myself too often. As women our weight fluctuates due to bloating different times of the month. Its best to weigh myself once or twice a month. But its hard to resist seeing progress.

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: sugar addiction and an impossibly sluggish metabolism (hypothyroid)
WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: I have started the Beck Diet and I believe through Cognative Behavioral Therapy I can actually lose the weight and keep it off this time.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I admit it, I've trolled these forums for a few years when finding out if the latest diet fad or work out craze was valid or worked for anyone. I've loved reading all of the positive support and feedback so finally decided to join the crew
