hi there! i will try and share a bit of my story. 3 years ago i weighed 215lbs. i had slowly gained this after high school 5-10lbs a year. i hadnt stepped on a scale in years and when i saw that number i could hardly compute it! It was the kick i needed to change and over a year i lost 55lbs getting me down to 160 i did this simply by eating healthier and jogging. i began logging calories on paper for the last couple months. then i became pregnant with my second child. After he was born i weighed 190lb. i lost 20lb in about three months starting last january while doing weight watchers. Then i got 'tired' of counting points and thought like so many i could just do it on my own. i bounced up and down between the same 5lbs since then. i suppose im lucky i didnt gain! either way im ready to go all the way. i have never made my goal weight. im hoping to finally get there! i have been here for a week and have lost 3lb but am feeling isolated. My husband is not ready to join me on the weight loss wagon and most people i know are already thin or dont feel the need to lose weight. hoping to find others i can chat with and check in with regularly! whatever your goals are i would like to support u!
