Default New to forum, but not to weight loss/lack thereof

Hello! My name is Michelle. I'm a happily married (for 10 years!) homeschooling mom to two great kids. We live in our native Connecticut again after spending four wonderful years in sunny Florida.

I was always a scrawny kid and a slender teenager, but since having children, my weight has been creeping up, up, up! I had been holding steady at about 160 lbs for years after having my two children, but about three years ago I gained an additional 30 lbs in about a six-month period. I've yo-yo'd up and down from about 170 to 190 a couple of times in the past two years, and now I'm at the high range again. I want to stop this cycle and get down to a healthy weight once and for all!

I've had success with Weight Watchers in the past and I am planning on joining again. I had my best success when I was attending with a friend, because we kept each other on track. We haven't really made many friends yet in our old-but-new community, and I need some accountability to someone. I'm looking for a weight-loss buddy (or buddies) to email and share before and after pics with, etc.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone on the board!

Default Welcome

Welcome Michelle!

You will find support and wonderful people here.

After considering for several weeks which weight management plan I would have the best chances of success with, I decided on Weight Watchers.

I also agree with you that accountability and support are critical to success.

Good luck and please post often so everyone can get to know you.

Deb
