New to WW, but not to 3FC
 

Hi, I'm Jennie. I have been hanging around the boards here off and on for a few years. I was mainly on the SBD boards previously, but have come to realize that South Beach just doesn't work for me past a few weeks. I need more flexibility in what I can eat. On Monday I signed up on the WW website and started the flex plan. I also go to TOPS meetings every Monday and weigh in so I will get my face to face support there. They just don't offer a meal plan, and I needed something structured.
My weight issues started shortly after graduating high school because I was no longer playing sports and Cheering. I have piled it on since then. Twice previously I have gotten serious about losing weight and I got off to a great start and then ended up pregnant. Both times were kinda like "damn, I was doing good with my weight loss, but WOOHOO I'm pregnant!" We seriously thought we weren't having any kids because it took me so long to get preggers the first time. Turns out, my body just wanted me healthier in order to conceive. Now that we have had 2 kiddos though, I am on birth control and ready to try this again!
I have been married for almost 10 years, and I am a SAHM to Kylee (3YRS) and Korbin (10 months). I know, I need to update my avatar. :) And just because I like to show off my beautiful children, here is another pic from Easter. I really need to update my photobucket account with more recent pics. ;)

So, that's who I am. I am excited about this plan. So far, I am doing well this week. I have only used 1 allowance point, but this weekend is the real test. We are going out to eat at least twice this weekend.

Welcome Jennie! Feel free to jump in where ever and however you see fit. It's been pretty quiet here lately but we can be quite the chatty group sometimes! A lot of people have stories similar to yours in terms of how they found WW - other plans may have been successful in the short-term, but the restrictions on food choices just weren't sustainable in the long-term. I am glad you have found us and wish you the best of luck. Your children are adorable, though I admit I am a little creeped out by the giant bunny :lol:

Welcome & I hope to see you around!

LOL.. "creeped out by the giant bunny"

Welcome jennie! As Suite said, we usually are a chatty bunch and I am sure it will pick up again when people aren't so busy during the summer months.
