Hi y'all
Hi y'all! I just found this site last night and joined. I am a Texas gal living in Louisiana, married to a wonderful man, and mom to 2 boys, Matt - 21 and in the Army and Cheyenne - 13. My story is not much different than many of you...I have been a bigger size gal for the last 4 or 5 years now...not really dealing with my weight issue...more so of not being in the right state of mind to do something about it. You know when you have kids, lots of activities, so much going on that you just don't deal with, eat on the run, and just keep buying larger clothes. Then my husband was diagnosed with diabetes last spring...that did it...I finally got my mind right ( but even then it took me awhile to start.) This had to change for both of us.
And so on Sept 18, 2007 I started on my own counting calories and exercising. I lost 17 lbs by the end of the year. On Jan 2 I joined WW to learn to eat better and prepare better meals for my family. I was very excited for the support that I found at first. and have lost another 16.8. I have tons more to go to get to my goal weight of between 135-140. I feel so much better with the first 33.8 lbs gone! I have dropped 2 sizes and I am much more confident. I am very excited about joining this group...everyone seems very helpful and supportive!! I can hardly wait to meet you!
Hugs,
Kimber
