HEYYYY Everyone!

Hey everyone, how are you? I am WWPammie;)

I am new this forum/support group after trolling it for.... years lol. But I'm NOT new to this weight loss ****. :)

Since I was a teenager, I have struggled with my weight... Its been wayyy up, and down again for years and years.

Around the 1st of November, I hopped on the scale and the first number I saw glaring at me (in front of two other numbers of course) was a 3. Three hundred and two pounds.

I started crying... and crying and crying and crying... How did I let this happen?

I decided right away to join Weight Watchers. I want to be around for my two children... I don't want to die (because honestly... I've been feeling pretty deathly the past several months, due to joint pain etc... joint pain that doesn't HAVE to be there)...

I was married this past September to the love of my life... after 14 years, we decided to do it up officially in Niagara Falls, Canada :) But I look at him and realize I want to LIVE MY LIFE with him... Not to live my life with him caring for me because I'm too obese to look after myself... I wanted to give him all I had.... Not the other way around :)

So.. Here I am. I hope by joining this community I can find some inspiration, and share victories and "losses" and meet some people who are in the same boat as I am. :)

Welcome, WWPammie! This is a great place for support, encouragement, and lots of strategies to try to figure out what works for you.

Hi WWPammie! :welcome: I'm so glad you finally decided to join! I can only imagine the shock you must have felt in seeing that 3 but that's the last time you ever have to see it! You have wonderful reasons for wanting to lose weight and you've taken great first steps to do it. I know you're going to be successful! Good luck! And congrats on your marriage! :congrat:

Welcome WWWpammie,
We are neighbours, I'm in Burlington which is just 40 min from the falls. Our starting numbers were very similar. It sounds like you have made progress already in deciding to get healthy for you. Best of luck on your journey.

Thank you all!!! I look forward to this journey and meeting new friends.
Jenny, I practically grew up in Burlington, as my grandparents lived there in the Guelph Line/Lakeshore area for many many years.
