And excited I found this! A little back history of myself...

Ive always been overweight. There was a period in my life where I wasnt"thin" but curvy and I loved it! Well, to make a loooong story short,I went thru some tragedy,put myself thru night school,found a great career...and about 150lbs to go with it!!! Ive been stuck between 275-295 for the last few years.
yesterday my feet started hurting. Im not used to this! My skin feels tight over my body. I feel like Im smothering by my weight. I feel like a huge blobby monster. I dont want to feel this way anymore!!!
Im starting to do the WW points system,Im going to start walking. Im going to start out slow because I dont want to 1)burn myself out on it, and 2)dont want to die of a heartattack! Lol
I have a 9 year old son who has already lost his dad. He cant lose his mom too. Plus, I wanna show everybody that doubted I could lose the weight HA HA SUCKAS!!!! Just gotta keep it up. DISCIPLINE AND SELF CONTROL ARE MY FRIENDS!!!! I think this is a good first step.

Thanks for reading!

Welcome!! You've come to a great place here. I'm doing WW too, and I love it. Theres a WW section here with lots of great topics. Come join the May goals thread, I use it as a little extra incentive to keep me on track.
I had to reply because of what you wrote about your skin feeling tight over your body. I felt like that too! I look at old pics of myself and my skin looks so taught, like it's stretched to the limit. I have a few saggy spots now, but I like that so much better!
Good luck on your journey!

Hi!! Today is my first day too!!! Happy to meet you. I understand how you feel. A few weeks back I started feeling so uncomfortable bending down to put my socks on... My stomach was in the way- never felt that way before. I've been dieting my whole life and have been so up/down with my weight and now concerned about blood pressure. I recently got remarried and lost 25 lbs and successfully gained it ALL back and MORE!!! I am at my heaviest and have been walking 3-4x a week for 3-3.5 miles and havent lost a lb. Body is changing but taking longer than I hoped. I'm going to start WW tomorrow and try a Zumba class...I want to get rid of this extra weight- foes good!!! I have a 10 year old son and want to get him involved in a healthy lifestyle now...so he doesn't have to deal with this later in his life.

I wish you great success'and look forward to our new journey!!
