Default Saying "hi" and joining in the convos :)

Hi all...I'm just going to jump in. I'm more of a responder than an instigator so I'll just post the intro here and then go back to posting replies.

Last year I finally decided to do something about all those extra ell bee's that crept on me...no more excuses, my baby was 3 years old, couldn't blame it on him anymore

So I joined WW online and was so determined! In three months I lost 20 lbs and loved the "weigh" I looked--or at least, wasn't as disgusted with myself as usual! My whole life I had been a thin or at least average-weight person and it was so hard to see pix of myself overweight. It was a SHOCK each and every time. I tried to tell myself the usual excuses...perimenopause, difficult teens, LOL, but....

Anyway, as much fun as it was to wallow in self-loathing I did something about it. BUT...the pounds have now crept back on. ALL OF THEM!! And they brought a few friends to keep them company.

So now I'm back on WW online, hopping back on my treadmill every day (literally and figuratively). It's very encouraging to read all your stories and struggles and see how you have overcome. Thanks to all who post your stories.

-Susan

Talking Welcome Susan

You are in the right place. I just joined myself and am glad I did. Our stories are similar. I have been camera shy because of it. When pics were taken I just could not believe it was me. I guess i was in denial but not anymore. Keep it going and so will I. I know with this support group we can do it!!!

Thank you for the kind welcome! I really like being here. I have spent hours browsing the posts and the INCREDIBLE b & a photos! Thank you to all who share...I am trying to get up the courage.

You know I am really liking the part where I can change my current weight in my profile. My online WW chart only lets me log it once a week. I think that was part of my problem (the other part was eating too much, ha) is that I am one who NEEDS to weigh myself every day and face facts. I don't like only weighing once a week, I am much more motivated when I weigh every morning. I need reality checks. The amount of self-hatred I can have when I haven't weighed for months and then --WOW, HOW did I get back here again!"

Welcome ^^ I'm pretty new myself (to both 3FC and WW) and you're in the right place Even if I don't post, I poke around reading every day, and had been for about a week or two before I finally joined. Good luck!
