An Introduction to my Weight Loss Journey

Hi Everyone,

I Just wanted to introduce myself and my weight loss journey to you all in this first post.  My name is Margaret but everyone calls me Maggie, I’m 28 years old and I live in Neenah, Wisconsin.  I live on my own with my Calico cat named Carly.  I’m currently seeing someone but I don’t have any children.  I’m also looking for a job as I don’t have one.  I have one brother, one sister in law, one niece and two half sisters.

My weight loss journey originally started January 2, 2008.  That’s when I joined Weight Watchers for the first time.  I did poorly in the beginning, going between gaining and losing then I lost for four weeks and gained for two weeks and so on.  On July 24th I stopped going to Weight Watchers meetings because I couldn’t afford it.  After I quit my health started getting worse so five weeks after I quit Weight Watchers I decided to rejoin and so I did.  I’m nearing my third week back on program(my weigh-ins are on Mondays)and am hoping for a loss.  I don’t care how big a loss just a loss will be good.  If I gain I gain and I just have to watch everything I eat and stay within my daily points target and also watch portions which I have a hard time doing.

I’m hoping to lose 70 pounds on the Weight Watchers Flex Plan.  I know it takes time but I’m not going to give up like I did in the past.  I just want to be healthier and skinnier that’s all.

That’s all I have for now.  I’ll try to post every day in this blog.  Until next time have a terrific night.

Maggie

    Welcome to buddyslim! I don’t participate in any program but all the best to you with weight watchers.

    You can lose 70 lbs, I have but it takes time and patience. Just like how weight is gained over time, you will lose it over time. I took me over 1 year to lose my first 70 lbs.

    Never give up and you will get to goal. Good luck!
