Hi..just joined and hoping to find support and give back as well.
I am not new to WL, I started 4 yrs ago and weighed 250lbs. I lost over 81 lbs as of 2005 but in Dec. of that year I had a partial hysterectomy and slowly regained weight. I began a yo yo method of dieting that I swore I would never do but I just never could recommit to WL. I did start back last summer and lost 15 lbs but then I had a health crisis where the word Cancer was tossed around as a possible cause to my illness and it sent me into a spiral. I don't have cancer and that illness is gone and the kids went back to school and life was still stressful and I failed to handle it except with food. I have gained over 50lbs back and it makes me sick because of all the hard work I put in over those years to lose the weight the right way.
I was going to wait until after New Years to restart "The Diet" but when I got on the scale a week ago Friday I was sick with the number and started that day. I am down 4 lbs now and my husband is on board as well. He is a chef and needs to lose weight too so we are finally committed together.
I really look forward to getting to know others and hope to make some WL friends along the way.
Back to WW's
