Hello =} Im a 32 year old female and I just started my weight loss in July of this year. I decided to go to weight watchers when my mom asked me to go with her. I agreed because I had been wanting to do something about my weight for years. When I went in and signed up I just knew this was the road to a new and better life. They weighed me in at 250 at just 5'3".... and I realized how badly out of control I was. I started following their core program for a month or so but wasnt very happy so I switched to the points and found I was so much happier. I started swimming, water aerobics, Leslie Sansone's walking videos ( I started out at a mile and now im up to 3 ) I did tredmill, and Tony Little's total body shape up. Ive always been able to be flexiable and active even at 250, so exercising was not a big deal for me.

Its now 4 months later I have lost 55 pounds and I am 195 pounds. My BMI is down from 44.3 to 34.5 and Im down from a size 22 jeans to a 18 and those are quickly becoming lose on me. At Thanksgiving I was able to buy a beautiful party dress in a size 14-16 = ) The best part was I didnt look like a total slob and everyone that had not seen me recently was just amazing at my progress. For the first time I am now less than my husband, but I am encouraging him to do better too, He is 5'11 and 198 pounds.

Im here to meet people like me for friendship, support and maybe we can trade some tips too

Hi I'm Anne and I'm 26years old, 5'3" and I weigh 198 pounds, the heaviest I've ever been. I'm hoping to get down to 130. Unfortunately, I am not very good in the fitness area. I often get discouraged when i exercise and work hard but do not lose weight. Maybe we can try together. BTW Congrats on losing 55 pounds, that's sooooo great!!!
