Hello! My name is Samantha, and I'm glad to have found this site. I've been looking for a place to find some support, ideas, and inspiration as I try to regain some control over my weight and fitness.
About 4 years ago, I successfully lost 40 pounds on WW. I couldn't believe how well it worked for me, or how quickly I lost the weight. I kept it off for about 3 years. Then last year, it started creeping back. I just got lazy in my eating habits. (I've never been a big exerciser, and actually lost all the weight without exercising. Go figure...) I miss feeling good about my body, and really miss looking good in my clothes. I finally admitted to myself that I need the next size up in pants, and it's just killing me, because I'd promised myself that I'd never go back in that direction. But here I am...
I've been trying to be better about exercising, and am getting up most work days at 5:30 to work out in the mornings. I just found the Couch to 5K program, and am going to start it tomorrow morning. I'm also really making a conscious effort to be better about what I'm eating. I've tried to return to WW a few times, but just haven't been as motivated as I was the first time - I don't know why. But I'm trying to get back into some good habits before the summer and see how I do!
Looking forward to getting to know everyone here!
