Hello everyone. My name is Heather, and I am a lurker. I come to 3FC at least once a day, but I am a shy poster. I have enjoyed reading all the stories here, and have found much inspiration and information here.
This is my mini-goal story.
I began on July 22, 2008. Why that day? Why not. I weighed 228 lbs on that day, my highest weight ever. I began Weight Watchers, with the help and support of my awesome mom (a lifetime member). This morning, 24 weeks later, I weighed in at 178.0 lbs. I have lost 50 lbs.
I can’t really believe what has happened to me. I used to hate exercise, now I do hot yoga at least 4 times a week and have just started a running program and my goal is to run a 10-minute mile. Not bad for a girl who could barely walk 2 miles in an hour a few months ago.
I am halfway to my goal, and I am starting to believe I can do it. I have not done this alone. My husband has been so supportive and loving. I know he loves ME, no matter what size. He has cheered me on, and I have felt so blessed. I have a bunch of good friends who put up with my daily craziness and obsessiveness and never tell me to shut up when I go on and on…. (even if they want to….)
I am joyous.
Halfway there!
