About Me
I was always overweight through highschool and college. When I was home on break in college, I stepped on the scale at the gym to see 235lbs. Ugh. My first real attempt at weight loss was the Adkins plan before I got married in the fall 2002. The lowest number I ever saw on the scale was 199 and I was thrilled to see a 1! But that was only once... probably a fluke of my scale.
I fluctuated around 220 after giving up the Atkins diet (I hated ever moment of eating that way). Then I decided to walk into a weight watchers meeting like my sister did... just to check it out and see if I could do it. I ended up joining but not telling anybody but my husband. I was amazed when I lost 3 pounds that first week.... and the week after. It was amazing. I followed the plan religiously for 9 months and went to a meeting *EVERY* week no matter where I was (vacation, visiting family, etc), and saw myself week by week shrink into buying 16s, then 14s, then 12s, then 10s, and actually bought a size 8 dress that fit perfectly. I got down to 149 and kept my weight there for a few weeks UNTIL...
I went to the Bible Camp I counsel for each summer. I decided I could quit counting points and not worry about it for just a week. I came home 5 pounds heavier and have struggled ever since. We moved after that and I never built connections with the people at the weight watchers meetings here and just never could stick to the program. I love this website and the fact that it's free because I'm actually doing it again! I'm losing weight!
Why I Want To Get In Shape
To be healthy... to avoid the heart disease in my family... to like how I look... to enjoy shopping... to be able to borrow clothes from my friends... to not have knee pain... to have more fun.
