Thought it was high time I said "Hello" :)

Hi everyone

I've been journalling since August 2nd on this site (and before that, since July 3 on paper) and I thought I should introduce myself. I am Rocki (a nickname given to me when I was on the Weight Watchers.ca boards that has kind of stuck with me).

I joined WW on June 26, 2004 at a whopping 274.4 lbs (and no, I'm not 12'6"...only 5'7.5") On April 1, 2006 I reached my goal weight after carving 93 lbs of body fat off my body and putting on 10 lbs of lean mass. At 185 lbs I wore a size 10 pants and a size 12 top, I had 138 lbs of fat-free mass and 25% body fat and I felt GREAT! Six weeks later I got Lifetime status and then a few weeks after that I turned 40. My photos of my 40th birthday are some of my all-time favourites!

Well, not long after that my life fell apart. So after a very unpleasant separation and divorce, a near-fatal illness and many other challenges (including graduating from University while working a full-time and a part-time job) I am back and ready to spend the time and effort on ME to get to where I want to be.

I am happy to share any tips and tricks I picked up along the way the first time 'round. I will keep my journals honestly and accurately. I will try to help motivate anyone wanting a little bit of the motivation I have. I will stumble from time to time, but QUITTING is NOT an option!!! I am very excited to be back!!!

Rocki is in da house!!!!

Cheers.

Welcome to the site and congratulations on your previous success. Hope you achieve all you want to on this site. I have found it very supportive and helpful in my journey so far.

THANKS! So far it's been pretty good. I love that I can simply log in and update my journal, rather than email my home-made spreadsheet back and forth, which is what I did the first time 'round.

Thank you for the welcome! Take care and we'll chat soon
