Hello --
Yes, it is almost the new year and of course my resolution this year is to get back on track with my weight.
I joined WW in 2001 and was successful in losing 32 pounds (168/136). I pretty much kept the weight off until the last 9 months or so when I went completely crazy and have now climbed back up to 153 3/4. I can't believe how quickly it has packed back on!!!! And I feel like doo-doo, so I can't stay in this eating frenzy mode any longer.
I'm looking for some friendly folks who may or may not be in the same boat as me and hope for some encouragement and help along the way.
My goal is 120 pounds, ultimately, but for the immediate goal -- I just want to be able to zip my jeans again!!
I'm 37 years old, happily happily happily married (16 1/2 years) to a great guy who is very supportive and always tells me I'm beautiful (I keep telling him that if he would say that I looked bad, I'd do better with dieting!!), I have two little boys (7 1/2 and 9 years old). I live in Southwestern Lower Michigan, just across the Indiana state line from South Bend, IN (Home of the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame!!). I work full time as a cardiovascular technologist in a cardiac cath lab where we harp on people daily for being overweight and I am constantly telling people how bad it is for their hearts. . . I really need to practice what I preach!!
Hope to hear from some new friends!
Sincerely,
Pam
