Hi my name is Christina
 

Hi, my name is Christina! I have been a perpetual WW member since I was old enough to join. I remember when the program was all about exchanges - dairy, bread, etc. I have been successful on the points program. I found 3Fat Chicks a year or so ago and love it. I recently got serious about the program once again for my HS reunion. I decided to cut bread - anything made out of bread - completely. And because of that change, I have lost almost 45 lbs since August of this year. I have learned that YOU have to be focused and ready for a weight loss program. It's all about changes -and once you make those changes, it becomes a lifestyle. I have given up crackers, cookies, bread, flour, etc. It has worked for me. I have always been overweight. Even when I was a child - I remember wearing the size 6x clothes. There was one brief time in college when I wore a size 14. I anxiously look forward to wearing a size 14 or lower again. I turn 40 in 2 years and plan on wearing that size or lower. I am in control of my destiny! :)

:welcome:

Hi :) and wow that's incredible! Good Luck!

Welcome... :)

:wel3fc: Hi Christina!
Certainly so many of us can relate to your past weight loss attempts - sounds like you're ready to do this - good luck with your goalsl!

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained!

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a short time myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired! :df:
