I am a 31 y.o. female who is 5'7" tall. I recently surpassed the 200-lb mark and feel like crap all the time (you really are what you eat)! I figure joining a weight loss forum like this will help me succeed.

Good for you for seeing a number and realizing that it was time to DO SOMETHING. I wish I would have done that. What did I do, THREE TIMES? Get so upset for going over that I just let loose and ballooned even higher as my warped sense of things equated EVERYTHING over 200 as all being equally bad - um... no...

Welcome and good luck!

Hi I'm new here also. I remember when I passed the 200 mark the first time -- it was dreadful. I managed to get down to 180 and then my husband I started trying for a baby. I gained 70 lbs in my pregnancy and managed to get some of it off, but not all of it -- so here I am too. Let me know if we can push each other as it's always good to have someone to talk to who can relate with what you're going through. Good luck!

Hello!

I am new here too! I am 5`5 and started WW in March/2014! This is my 3rd go at it. I went in 2000, I weighed 212 lbs. I reached my goal, decided to quit. Well guess what.... I gained it all back and then some. I joined again in 2010 and weighed in at 232 lbs. I lost about 20 pounds and quit because I had a gain 1 week and the lady that weighed me in made me feel terrible! I was so upset and she sent me over the edge about it! Now here we are March 2014 and I weighed in at 251.2!!! I was so upset when I saw that number! WOW!!!! Currently I have lost 21.2 lbs! I feel I am well on my way toward my goal! I am almost at my 10%! I have a couple of bad weeks but I move on! My clothes are starting to get loose and that is a great feeling!

I welcome you and look forward to reading about your journey!!!
