Okay, here goes.....
Hello Fellow W.I.S.H participants...
My name is Teresa and I'm 37 years old and mother of two daughters, 12 years and 9 years. I'm just under 5'4" (easier to put 5'4" on drivers license) and currently weight 208. When I met my DH 14 years ago, I was overweight at 165, but would love to be down that low now. Over the first two years, I put on over 20 pounds and then got pregnant with my first DD. I gained 25 pounds with her and being 9 pounds, I lost 16 of that with her birth. After a couple of years, I started doing step aerobics and lost 15 pounds and several inches. Of course, I got pregnant again and that was the end of that. After a few more years and topping out at 220, I joined a gym and started working out. I got down to 189 last year, but gain some weight back on from summer vacations and just not watching what I was eating.
Anways, I joined Weight Watchers this past Tuesday and am very excited. I've been great all week and with neighbors over last night and some munching going on, I feel I'm still way under my target points for the week. I go to the gym 5 days a week and trying to get my DH to teach me racquetball. My target weight for my height is 130-135, but I would be happy with 140-145. It would be nice to just go into a store, pick a size 12, 10 or whatever off a rack and know it won't be tight.
I'm hoping with each weight-in, I'll post my results and hopefully, post a picture of my before and after when I get close to my goal.
Sorry this is so stinkin' long. DD's & DH are gone and I'm enjoying some much needed peace & quiet!
Thanks for listening and hope everyone reaches their goals...............
