The Reinventing of Me
I have been somewhat overweight most of life, or at least since high school. In that time I've yo-yo'd a lot from size 6 (a low) to a size 14 and everywhere in between. In the fall of 2005 I decided to take off the weight again. I was near my highest weight of 150lbs and feeling miserable because none of my clothes fit and I refused to buy the next size up.
I joined Weight Watchers Online and lost 15 of the 20 I needed to get to where I thought was reasonable to maintain. Then I ...
I have been somewhat overweight most of life, or at least since high school. In that time I've yo-yo'd a lot from size 6 (a low) to a size 14 and everywhere in between. In the fall of 2005 I decided to take off the weight again. I was near my highest weight of 150lbs and feeling miserable because none of my clothes fit and I refused to buy the next size up.
I joined Weight Watchers Online and lost 15 of the 20 I needed to get to where I thought was reasonable to maintain. Then I started going to meetings to get the support to handle maintenance (where I screwed up the prior year). They were very helpful, but about the same time I also joined here.
Within a few months I'd pretty much switched over to tracking here in the nutrition tracker and not counting points anymore, instead tracking calories. I also started working out with Turbo Jam in March of 2006. By May 31st, I'd reached my goal and actually dropped 10 lbs below it!
Now I'm about 9 lbs below my official WW goal (I made lifetime) and feeling like there will be no trouble keeping this off. In fact, Spark People has taught me an entire new lifestyle.
At 39, I am in the best shape of my entire life and I feel great! Who would have thought? Oh, and did I mention I'm wearing a size 4 and sometimes 2? hehe
