New Year, New Me
 

I'm Kelly. At 36 years old, I can't remember not being overweight. I have struggled with gaining weight since middle school, and I feel like now, finally, I need to make a change.

The scale read 241.7 lbs on Monday. At 5' 4", I have a challenge ahead of me, but I'm committed. My husband and I are motivated to each lose at least 75 pounds.

I am really looking forward to meeting people who will support and hold me accountable on the boards. This is my first time joining any type of community, but I think it's a key to my success. I'm excited to get started and make 2011 the best year yet!

I'm planning to use Weight Watchers materials from a previous attempt at weight loss. I considered counting calories, but WW is more familiar and I'm anxious to get into a grocery store and start calculating!

Best wishes to everyone!

Welcome!

Be sure to join in on the challenges for accountability. Don't be shy, jump right in, and come often!

Hi Kelly! I'm new here too. It's great that you and your husband will be doing this together! Good luck!

I agree with anna. It's great that you are your husband are doing this together! Good luck to you both and stay positive :)

Hi Kelly - I'm new to this community as well! I weighed in this morning at 212.4 and hoping to lost 62 lbs. Am also thinking of following WW - several gals in my office have participated w/WW on-line and have had great success. Best of luck to you!

Thanks Ladies! I'm so thrilled to have people rooting for me, especially people all working toward the same goals! Best of luck to everyone. I'm hoping to see you all again online soon. Happy New Year!
