Hi Ladies, I was crusing the internet the other night looking at my long neglected WW sites, clicked on this thread and found fellow WW moms. I'm 42, mom of 5 (ages 2-13) and weigh 147. The WW range for my height (5'5") is 120-144 and for most of my adult years I weighed 134-139. I touched on 139 for a few glorious seconds after the last child was born, turned 40, quit work to be a SAHM and then started working my way up the scale. I want to nip this upward spiral in the bud, get back down to the mid 130's and get on a healthy life time eating plan. I joined WW for 8 weeks last fall, lost 6 pounds, then came the holidays, basketball season for my boys, just life in general and quit going to WW. Well, guess what, the weight and all my old eating habits are back! Today was my first day back OP. I still haven't decided if I'm going to formally rejoin WW or not. I like to workout so the exercise part of WW isn't a problem for me. My biggest challenge coming up is hosting a family reunion this weekend. I've got some ideas on how to handle the menu-more on that later.
I also can't stand the middle school years-my oldest has never been in trouble before this year and now it's always something. Leslie
