just introducing myself..
Hi everyone,
I joined 3FC quite a while ago but as I never stuck to a diet plan I never really got into using the site. However as I have now stuck to Weight Watchers for six months and lost 27lb (was 29lb but put 2lb on last weigh in) I think it's time to make introductions!
As you can see from my sig, at my highest I weighed 349lb. I never felt that big, but looking at photos and such made me realise I was, and in April this year I bit the bullet and joined a Weight Watchers class.
I've just started to exercise, mainly Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home DVD. I do one mile every other day along with some strength exercises (usually bodyweight or small dumbbells/resistance bands) or POP Pilates moves.
I have fibromyalgia which makes it horribly difficult to want to exercise as I always end up in pain, and chronic fatigue (not CFS/ME, but constantly tired) which is under investigation. I'm on a lot of different meds which cause all sorts of side effects, a common one being weight gain, which makes this fun...
I'm wondering if there's anyone else doing WW (preferably UK) propoints plan who'd consider being a buddy to me? Obviously there's all the people in my class and I'm a member of that class' Facebook page, but they are all fairly slim compared to me so it would be nice to be able to chat with someone either currently at or who started at somewhere around what I was at 349lb. I think there's a whole different set of challenges when you're a weight watcher at 349 than for a weight watcher at 190.
Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. I hope I'm ok posting this!
