The inspiration for creating this site came from my fellow Weight Watchers Community buddies, particularly, the 50+ gang. It has been a privilege to visit their sites and learn of their experiences. This has made me want to share mine as well.
Writing does not come easy for me so please be patient. Here are a few quick facts I would like to share:
My husband and I joined WW on 01/04/2004. We had talked about joining WW since January 2003. I have no valid excuses for why it took us an entire year to join, but it was always so easy to say, "I don't feel like joining today, perhaps next week". Instead of kicking myself for not joining last year, I'm proud to have finally made the commitment in 2004.
At the height of 5'2", I weighed 226.6 at my first WI. Not sure about my husbands stats, but will get that info soon and include it. It's been 12 weeks now and I have lost 30 lbs and I'm in Onederland!!! Hubby has lost 46 lbs. He's gone from a 37 waist to 32, X-LG shirts to Medium. He's approx. 5 lbs from goal. I'm so proud of him!!!!
I have tried to lose weight so many times, but would never even get near losing 20 lbs, 10 lbs would be about the maximum I could lose. It would just sneak right back on. Why is WW working for me? Well... 1) it's a wonderful program; 2) I have finally realized that it's a life change and not a quick fix; 3) the support of my wonderful husband; 4) exercising and loving it; and 5) THE WW COMMUNITY!!!!!
Please visit again soon because this is an evolving site.
Take care!
