Hi all, I'm Trixie. I'm 44 (almost 45), married with 2 kids, currently a full-time social work student (as is my husband) and live in TN.
I've been overweight for about 12 years and have made several attempts to lose weight in the past but have never been able to stick with anything long-term. I was doing well on WW in 2010, but fell off the wagon while out of town due to family illness and between the stress of that and not really fitting in with the (only) WW group in town.
I'm planning to do WW again, but online this time, with the support of a friend who has also done WW and has maintained her weight loss. She's going to be my weigh-in tracker and conscience and the kick in the pants when I need it.
I had sworn that I would never be above 200 lbs, then it was 250, then it was not past 40, now its not past 300 lbs. In the past, I wasn't at the point where my weight kept me from doing anything-I had no real mobility issues, would still go to the pool, etc. Now, not so much. I can't keep up with my husband and son when walking and I'm acutely aware of my weight almost all the time. I'm tired of saying I'll do something and not doing it and I just feel like if I don't do it now, then it's hopeless.
Anyway, that's the short (hah!) version, I look forward to this journey and getting to know all of you!
Ready to roll!
