Default Hello from broiling hot DC!

I've been here before, under a different name, but I made a pact with myself that I would come back ATFER I had joined WW and AFTER I had lost my 5 percent.

I wanted to prove to myself that I could succeed. It was necessary -- my doctor was getting concerned about my blood pressure, which had been inching up for a couple of years.

And I'm doing OK. I hit my 5 percent two weeks ago. My BMI is now merely overweight, no longer obese.

Plus I track all the time, and it's really been a big help. A life changer.

I still don't like to exercise, though, LOL.

Anyway, I'm really glad to be back.

Welcome (back)!

Congratulations on your 5% and on being no longer obese! That's exciting!!!

Since you've been here before you already know your way around, but get back into participating! The more the merrier

You can do this!

Hey fellow DCer!

Welcome back and congratulations on your long list of recent milestones.

I'm glad to have someone else around who knows just what 120 degrees feels like.

Wish I didn't!!! DH and I went up to a pick your own farm (in Woodbine, it's awesome) yesterday and I melted a la The Wicked Witch of the West.
