New Here
 

Hi Everyone,

I am a new poster and just thought I would introduce myself. I started weightwatchers about four years ago and reached my goal weight last year. My wake up call was when I realized I wasn't just over weight I was morbidly obese. It broke my heart that I was labelled with such a horrific word as morbid. Morbid is something from a horror film. I have recently struggled with the scaling moving a little bit in the wrong direction as I get used to being at a "normal" weight. Maintenance can sometimes be harder than losing.

I am 31 years old and have been heavy all of my adult life. I still struggle with my relationship wth food and still haven't come to terms with my weight loss. I still feel overweight.

This site looks like a friendly bunch of people so I feel like this may help me continue on my journey.:^:

I am new too. So welcome. I think that by having support we can get through this together. Take care. :)

rockysmom, WELCOME! And congrats on your successful weight loss!

You're right about maintenance! Have you checked out the maintainers' forum?? Lots of people in the same position you are!

We also have a forum for people who started weighing at or over 300 pounds. As the moderator, I know they'd love to hear your story!!!

Enjoy scoping this place out, it is a great source of inspiration, support and ideas!

Thanks for the encouragment. Good luck in your weight loss!
