Talking Greetings to all..

Hello all, my name is Jenny and I'm new here.

Just a bit of background, I am 35, married with a 2y/o son. I have been overweight much of my life, except for the time in high school when I was in Jenny Craig and lost 50lbs, not such a smart choice for a high schooler when all your friends are eating cheese fries at lunch!

The last year has been a bit of a challenge for me. While I have not had weight fluctuation, I've had 3 miscarriages. After my last one, my doctor asked that I lose at least 20lbs. While he doesn't think my weight had anything to do with the miscarriages, he thinks at my age it would overall just be better.

So here I am. I started doing WW points, on my own, last week and as of yesterday I had lost 5.5 lbs. Not too bad for my first week - of course I was hoping for more like 25lbs, but realistically I'm happy.

Well that's it, me in a nutshell. Thanks for taking me aboard, I'm very happy to have found this place.

Good luck to all...

Is there a reason why my weight tracker isn't showing up?
