Default Dori From GA - Today is my turn around

Hello all. I'm Dori from Southeast Georgia. I teach Special Education as a middle school, have two little ones, and I'm a Coast Guard Wife. I have fought with my weight ever since High School. The smallest I remember being is a size eight. I've joined WW's I don't know how many times and have never stuck with it. After I had my daughter I weighed 189 (my heaviest) and I've gotten down to 164 on my own. However, that is still a lot of weight on my 4'10" frame. As of today I'm ready to get this weight off. I'm sick of the flabby skin, belly over the top of my pants and wearing bigger clothes to hide the weight. By next Christmas (2007) I want to be down to 105. I plan on following WW's but doing it from home and also going to a local place like Curves. I know with determination and consistency I can and will lose this weight. Thanks for reading.

Dori,

I teach Special Education, too. I teach K-3 inclusion kids. In the past though I was a junior high English teacher for 3 years. This is my 5th year to teach and 2nd year in Special Education. I have a son about to be 5 and I am in Mississippi. If you need a buddy, let me know...

Stick with it Dori, I'm new here as of today. I too count the points... I had joined before and although it was working I could no longer afford it. After that I fell off the wagon but I'm getting back on...I too am following weight watchers on my own and am trying to get back in touch with my gym. Let me know if you need any points support or a healthy recipe swap!
