Hi, New in the neighborhood
 

Hi Everyone,

Please wish me luck :goodluck:.
18 years ago after my first daughter was born I started WW diet (first time in my life) and lost 70 pounds. I was very lucky to keep the weight off until recently. I was even lucky enough to keep and maintain my weight during my next two pregnancies. (we have 3 amazing children).
2 years ago after a crisis in the family I walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge, the kitchen cabinets and unfortunately my mouth as well. :moo:
From sexy- happy- 144 pound woman I became a heavy 171 pound sad woman. I did not know how to stop the madness.
I can’t fit into my clothes. I can’t buy my Jeans at the juniors dept anymore (unless if I’ll buy size 13). It took me a long time until I was able to decide to go back to normal eating. To go back on track. To put myself on a diet again. I know it’s not going to be easy but I must do it. For myself. I don’t like looking at myself at the mirror anymore. After so many years of being a proud lifetime member at WW, I did horrible thing to myself, my body, my health. finally I decided to go back on the WW program but not attend the meetings yet. I feel so embarrassed. most likely after I’ll lose the first 10 pounds I would feel more confident to attend a meeting.
I am counting calories and points since Sunday and determine to be successful (B/T/W – Is there any food diary here? How do you keep track of what you eat?). unfortunately I can’t exercise too much, I have 2 dislocated discs in the lower back but I am trying to walk as much as I can.

Welcome back. Making the commitment to start is half the battle. I use a food journal I bought at barnes and noble. I find it easier to track with pen and paper as it isn't always convenient to get online.

Good Luck!

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Greetings!
I'm new here as well and let my weight get the best of me after a crisis as well. I'm ready to take my "life" back, but man, it's much easier to gain weight than lose it! I've started to use a dry erase board in my kitchen to track my eating, but I'm sure there are many other ways that are just as helpful. I wish you the best of luck!!

Good luck with your efforts!!

Welcome, have a seat. Can I get you anything to eat? Sorry we only serve vegies and water :)
