Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of sitting in my Weight Watchers meeting and watching Gary Aneis (500lbs2marathon
on here) hit goal. Although I only knew Gary for a couple of months or so, it really hit home for me. It was the first time I ever saw a person hit goal that started out any where near my size. I am a big guy, obese, huge...whatever term there is for being REALLY over weight...well it fits for me. My starting weight was 583.8. I am now a little over 26 pounds lighter. I know I have a very long way to go, but watching Gary hit goal just made it click for me...I CAN do this...and now I say to myself everyday..."I AM DOING THIS!"
I am working my *kitten* off (literally) and I get excited when I think about what workout I will be doing tomorrow! I have so many dreams that I can't wait to fulfill! They will happen, I am making them happen. I will never give up, I've changed and I know it. It really is amazing to 'feel' yourself change. I can not thank Gary enough for this.
Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean!
Welcome to MFP! and congrats on your 26 lbs weight loss! I love the positive attitude.
I was also a Weight Watchers member, in 2010. I lost 30lbs and reached my goal. I have since gained 7 lbs back and I am looking to lose that, plus more. Everyone's got a different goal in mind, but we're all here for the same reason: to improve ourselves and feel good about it.
I wish you the best of luck with your WW and MFP journey0 -
