Hello,
My name's Noelle and I'm 34 years old. Almost 3 years ago, my mom took a picture of me at Halloween with my kids. A few weeks later she gave me it and I was AMAZED at how big I was. So I decided to do something about it. I joined a gym and worked out every other day for 3 months. But I wasn't losing anything. I went to the Doctor (determined that I must have something medically wrong). They took tests and said I was fine. He suggested I look into Weight Watchers.
I started at 186 pounds. It took me about a year and I got down to my goal weight of 136. Then I kind of maintained at 138. But since my company quit the WW "At Work" program, I figured I'd go it alone. Then I had some really bad emotional things. I comforted myself with food. But at least I knew I was doing it.
Well, I've managed to get up to 154. When I lost my weight, I ditched all my "pudgy" clothes. Now, I'm finding most of my pants a little too snug and there is NO WAY I'm going to go out and buy bigger clothes again. So....I just need to focus and get back into my healthy eating and increased activity. I know it's going to be harder this time. But it's SOOOOO worth it.
Just reading these boards is VERY motivating. 2 days in and happily on my way!
