One Year on WW!
 

One year ago, I rejoined WW. It was my third time but, as they say, third times a charm :carrot: As of today, I've lost 58.6 lbs! I do it online and I had the self accountability to weigh in every single week, even when I was on vacation or knew I had gained.

One year ago, I weighed 311 lbs. I had a terrible diet, rarely ate fruit or veggies, and never exercised. I stayed home most evenings because I felt uncomfortable and shy and was always too tired. When I did go out, I'd make myself sick by overindulging on food. I had done WW twice before but always hit a wall at 6 months and would give up. The idea of starting again was exhausting, knowing how much work was before me.

Today, I'm down to 252.4. I have an incredibly healthy relationship with food. I actually like eating fruits and veggies. I have rediscovered a love of cooking. When I go out to eat, I know how to make the right choices while still being able to enjoy my food and order what I want. I do Ashtanga -- a physically demanding yoga practice -- twice a week. I am confident and happy in way I never was before.

One year later. Let me tell you: if I can do it, YOU can do it!

(I wrote a slightly longer post about this same idea over on my blog, for those that want to read it :))

Hey Tudor_Rose! Long time no see!

Congrats one your WW anniversary! ;) You acheived soooo much!!! You go girl! :D

Congrats to you!

Your post SCREAMS self awareness and confidence.

I'm doing WW on line too and hope I am at the same place mentally that you are today when I reach my 1 yr anniversary.

CONGRATULATIONS & HAPPY 1st Anniversary! (One of many, many more to come :D)

Such wonderful news! :yay:

Thanks :D Obviously the support here at 3FC has been a HUGE part of my success!!

Congrats! You're doing great! We're all so proud of you!!!! (and inspired!)

Happy One Year Anniversary!!! My 1 year anniversary on WW was earlier this month as well!

Congratulations! Your post is so motivational and I'm so happy and proud of you for coming so far!

That is awesome!! I've just recently joined WW and I am liking it so far. I am glad it has helped u have a healthy relationship with food

Congrats! Amazing job!

Happy anniversary! Looks like the third time is a charm for you!

So proud of you. AND, by the way, I love your new pic and your hat is very cute too!

Congratulations! I celebrated 1 year on 1/2, it's such a great thing to post! Way to go! Keep it up!!!!! I think hitting 1 year, made me even more committed to hitting my 100 lb goal for the year! :)

Me too! At this point, 100 lbs is only another 42 or so away. I can TOTALLY do that!

Congrats on your anniversary! I love the new profile pic btw. :)

I got thinking about this post after I commented. I tend to do bursts of a few months of good eating, etc, and then fall off the wagon, so the fact that you've stuck with it for a year, is amazing! I am hoping to celebrate my own "anniversary" in September, and have actually stuck with it.

Awesom work Tudor! We must have started around the same time! The week of January 17th was my 1 year anniversary also. We have lost almost the same amt of weight in the same amt of time. I feel like you, i am super motivated to finish what i started, i no longer fear going out and meeting new people. I am much more confident and always smiling.

We may have a little more of a ways to go, but we are getting there, and its exciting!!!!!

P.S. Ive never been so interested in clothing, in ALL my life.

I know exactly what you mean! For Christmas I got a Macy's gift card from my aunt and moola from my grandma. I was going to buy home stuff at Macy's but then they had this huge sale going on and I bought clothes and then I went to Torrid (just to look!) and they also had a sale and I used like almost all of my Christmas money!

For exercise I normally wear kind of loose fitting clothes to kind of hide the fact that I'm a fat girl, haha, but I needed new stuff for yoga 'cause my loose fitting clothes were even looser and I ended up buying some sleek and fitted pants and tops, including sleeveless camis. Crazy and totally against my usual workout attire (hello, fat arms) but as soon as I put them on I could really SEE the weight loss and even my yoga instructor commented on how much I'd slimmed down in just the few weeks I'd been there when I wore them to class for the first time! :carrot:

Torrid is awesome! I love their clothes. A lot of it is really young for me (I'm 30) but there's a lot of great clothes that go for all ages. They have great dresses, and tops. I also LOVE their shoes. I have a wide foot and calves that don't fit in most boots, and Torrid's boots have better calf widths. Torrid is great for a bigger girl being able to get trendy clothes

Thats great! I just started WW on the 17th and this post is very inspirational to me! I am starting right around the same place as you!

Happy anniversary! (It's my one-year WW anniversary too.)

Congrats on the 1 year anniversary and your new picture is awesome! :carrot:

Thanks for the inspiration I hope to have lost 45 by my anniversary date in September so if you can do it I can do it :hug:

And I know what you mean by shopping. A week ago I went 'shopping' in my own garage. I have a container that holds clothes I used to be able to wear and now I am able to bring some of them back out --- it feels so good. I am looking forward to the day when I can fit into all of them.
