I want to see that tracker thingy move
I think I discovered this site by accident, but what a fortunate accident! I need a place to be accountable and share with others this wonderful ride :0) !
A little about me.... I'm a 47 year-old with two nearly grown kids and a wonderful husband of 26 years. We make our home here in the Southwest (can't beat the winters here!) I had always been a thin person. I actually had a growth spurt between 7th and 8th grade which found me at 5' 8'' and 100 lbs.! Think giraffe. I gained 40 lbs over the next couple of years and grew 2 more inches. I was active in sports in high school and in college, loved to go disco dancing! We danced just about every night of the week. Shakin' that booty kept me nice and trim!
My weight stayed fairly consistent, even with having kids. The trouble began about 10 years ago when I got a job in the technical field and quit being so active. Having a Pizza Hut on site didn't help much. My weight continued to climb, and before I realized it, I was over 200 lbs. I never weighed near that much even when I was pregnant! My eating habits were horrible. I found myself addicted to Pepsi and Rice Krispy treats out of the snack machine. When it became more and more depressing going shopping for "something to wear," I decided enough was enough. I joined Weight Watchers on 08/16 and have to date, lost 11.4 lbs. It's been easier than I thought it would be, but now at 6 - 7 weeks, my resolve is fading.
So, I'm making a new commitment, and I'm going to see it through!
