I started taking a good look at myself last October. A friend at work was into Wieght Watchers and asked me to join. I had been in denial for some time. I always told my self that I was not that big. Then, I saw the progress she was making and tried it for a week before I decided to join. I finally looked at myself in my new full lenght mirror and realized that I am actually bigger than I want to be.
I started out at 215 pounds. I lost 28 pounds following the Weight Watchers plan. Then, unfortunately, I had to cut some costs and the meetings were the first to go. I said I would stick to it on my own, but slowly started putting weight back on. I worked so hard to take it off, and I don't want to go back to where I started. So, I decided to "get back on track".

**It is now March 2009. I am now below the weight I left off on Weight Watchers. I have recently re-joined Weight Watchers and have lost 12 pounds. I still want to get to 160 pounds. So, I now have 24poundstogo. Once I reach that weight, I will consider going down to 147. 147 would put me at a healthy weight. I just can't wait to reach "overweight" and get "obese" off of my BMI.

Wish me luck. I can do it.

I can do it.
