Hi, my name is Kristin. I have decided to stop "lurking" and introduce myself. I am 25 years old. I have been "chubby" all my life but it seems like in the past 5 years I was gaining weight uncontrollably. I began excercising and was still gaining weight. I finally found out that I had a problem with my thyroid in April of 08. After being on my medication to fix my thyroid problem I didn't gain any weight, but I didn't loose any either. At the begining of June of this year I decided that I absolutely HAD to do something. I have been doing the WW points system and it is working wonderfully. In 10 weeks I have lost 24lbs. I never thought that I would be able to stay as strong as I have and I am so proud of myself. I am not even close to where I want to be (I want to loose 100lbs total), but I think this is a great start! Looking through these forums is so awesome because it is nice to see so many people who have had such great success.
Ok that's it...I dont want to bore you guys any longer! :)
Hey Kristin! Congrats on your success with WW.. ! Thats awesome. Like you, I'm aiming to lose 100 lbs total. We can do this!! Keep up the good work girlie!
Not boring at all, it is great to hear you are doing so well, keep strong, a lot of us on here have quite a bit to lose, I am aiming for another 51 so we all just need to keep on going!
