Re-joined after an incredible loss, and then a gain...

Hi! I am a 26 year old special education teacher in central IL. At one point, I had lost 55 lbs with Weight Watchers! At then... I'm not sure what happened, but I gained a significant portion of it back. However, I didn't gain it all back and I am truly grateful for that!

I am looking for friends to help encourage/motivate me (or kick my butt) to lose what I've gained plus more! I really benefited from the sense of community that I acquired through Weight Watchers meetings and would like to create that same community here. I've got around 40 lbs to lose to get me to a point that would make me happy. Although, a 40 lbs loss will not make me small, by any means, but it would definitely be a start.

I could use any/all the help I can get :-)

    REMEMBER THE RACE DOESN'T GO TO THE SWIFT NOR THE STRONG BUT TO THE ONE WHO ENDURES. GOD BLESS

    HI! My name is Kim and my weight loss journey began two years ago. I was at my heaviest (225) and things were not good. I couldn't keep up with my kids, I was tired all the time, and my doctor told me that my cholesterol was on the rise! I decided something needed to change. I started walking, and eventually doing some weight training. I am down over 70 pounds! I feel so much better, and I love supporting and encouraging people to do the same. I would be happy to be an accountability partner with you. I still have some weight to lose, so we can work at it together! Getting your nutrition under control is a big key to losing weight. I can share what has worked for me if you are interested. If you work hard, I know you can reach your goal! So what do ya say? Are you in?
