HI my name is Joan,
I have been overweight my entire life, but in the past 12 years have managed to lose over
158 pounds. I am a full time caregiver for my husband and in the past year I have really
struggled in trying to maintain my weight loss. So when I saw this site, I thought, why not
give this a try.
I do hope to hear from others.

Best to all,
Joan:happy:

    Hi Izzys
    Thanks so much for stopping by. I too am a WW member, and will not miss my weekly meeting. I have been at goal for a year now, but as I mentioned, I am struggling, and found this site and thought, ''maybe a little extra support is not a bad thing." Best of luck with your journey, and hopefully we can help one another.

    Joan

    Awesome job on your huge weight loss. Being a caretaker for anyone whether it be a spouse, a parent, or children certainly makes us put ourselves in second place (or third, or tenth, or hundredth) a lot of the times. Kudos to you for realizing how important YOU are. This is a great site. You will succeed.
