Im 260 on WW, looking for a buddy in the same boat as me! :)
 

Hi everyone! :D
My name is Felicia, I am 26 years old and a mother of a 3 year old little girl.
At my "thinnest" I weighed about 170, however, I gained about 30 lbs before I got pregnant and another 50 during my pregnancy! :o Currently I am 260!!
I am finally at a point where I am fed up with not feeling good about myself. I am ready for a change, just looking for some other people who are in my similar situation. I am the only overweight person in my family, and the only one whose ever struggled with weight, so they can't relate to me.

I started weight watchers online last Sunday, and so far so good, I feel like I can really do this! My short term goal is to lose 20-30lbs by Christmastime.
If anyone here would like to team up with me let me know, I think with a person to motivate me and keep me on check will be just what I need.

My first weigh in will be on Monday, I will let you guys know how I did!

I'm in your boat
 

I stepped on the scale on the 13th and saw 271 and thought "this is no life". I have been doing WW at home, and have lost 13 lbs so far! I also feel like I can really do this, and my short-term goal was to lose 25lbs by Christmas.

I'm Laura, I'm 47 with 2 grown children, and I would love to be your weight loss partner!

Felicia,

Weight watchers works great if you are truthful in your logging of the food you eat.

I did weight watchers online also. In 21 months I went from 456 to 199. You can do it!!!

I've been on WW Online since January 18, 2012. It had helped me a great deal. I've never been able to lose this much weight before in my entire life.

Wow, ladies this is inspiring and it makes me feel like I'm not alone!

I decided to do WW just because I have tried time and time again to do it on my own and every time I just couldn't do it. I realized I need support! I am going to stick with it this time because I do not want to be "starting over" like so many times before.

I'm noticing with WW that tracking everything really is helping. I haven't even used any of my extra weekly points, because I haven't felt the need to use them yet.

I would love to be updated with each one of your progress!

Laura, when did you start WW? Are you finding it easy to stick to?

Borgie, all I can say is WOW! I went through your pictures and that is AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, it only gives me that much more confidence to do this :)

Garnet, how much weight have you lost on WW?

I've lost 61 pounds. :)

That's awesome..I hope to one day soon be able to say that! That's a big accomplishment :)

Felicia86, it's just a thing. It's a matter of balance. Sometimes I slip to the gain weight side, most often, I lose. Sometimes I just maintain. It's all about balance. *hugs*
