I'm Kelly. At 36 years old, I can't remember not being overweight. I have struggled with gaining weight since middle school, and I feel like now, finally, I need to make a change.

The scale read 241.7 lbs on Monday. At 5' 4", I have a challenge ahead of me, but I'm committed. My husband and I are motivated to each lose at least 75 pounds.

I am really looking forward to meeting people who will support and hold me accountable on the boards. This is my first time joining any type of community, but I think it's a key to my success. I'm excited to get started and make 2011 the best year yet!

I'm planning to use Weight Watchers materials from a previous attempt at weight loss. I considered counting calories, but WW is more familiar and I'm anxious to get into a grocery store and start calculating!

Best wishes to everyone!

Welcome!

Be sure to join in on the challenges for accountability. Don't be shy, jump right in, and come often!
