User name- Christian Real name- Christie Location- Missouri Occupation- cashier at a Dollar Mart Kids- 2 girls, Megan 4 and Marissa age 7 Married- 6 years to a wonderful guy (Jason) When I started Tops- May of 2000 Weight when started- 155 weight now- 142 Goal weight- 135 Anything else- I started dieting in May of 1999 at 184 pounds and a size 18-20, I found out about Tops and knew it would help me to stay on track , I used the sugar busters program and prayer to get where I am today and the companionship of all my wonderful Tops Pals has kept me motivated to reach the goal I have set 184/142/135 User Name - lady06498 Real Name - Sherri Location - NY Occupation - I clean houses for people on my own. I have a total of 6 houses that I clean. Kids - 1 daughter megan 2 1/2 years old Married - I was married July 2000 to a wonderful man (John). We had been together 12 years before we were married. When I started TOPS - November 16, 2000 Weight When Started - 168 1/4 lbs. Weight Now - 163 3/4 lbs. Goal Weight - 140 Anything Else - When I started to do different diets to lose weight I was at my highest weight ever. I was 193lbs. after having my daughter and stayed there or about 3 lbs lighter for the next 1 1/2 years. I got serious last jan. and started the ww123 plan at home on my own. With the help of the internet and the boards. I was in a size 18 1 year ago and now I am in a size 14. So I have dropped 2 sizes in one year. I joined tops because I wanted the weekly weigh ins and I felt that if I reported to a bunch of people every week that it would help me stay on track better, and it has. Tops was what I needed to stay motivated. I get the most support here though to be honest with you. Thank you all for that.

(I didn't see myself as fat, I could see other people as fat, but not myself). I want to lose weight for myself, than my husband and son. I want to change my old habits, so they don't become his new ones. I want something better for him than the feelings I have about myself. |
Just bringing this back up.Just as a reminder it is really nice if you don't mind putting what state you are from.I have a map and I am trying to mark states.It's nice to see how far apart we live yet how close our thoughts are.
