I'm 27 years old. I have been overweight since high school. I entered my freshman year weighing 115lbs and by the time I graduated from high school I weighed 240lbs! When I had became pregnant with my son I weighed 245lbs. By the time I became pregnant with my daughter, five years later, I weighed 260lbs. During her first year of life I ballooned to 286lbs.

I have always known I needed to lose weight. I have suffered through depression due to my lack of self confidence and have found comfort in food. Last year I decided that I had to make a change and I had to make it NOW! In 4 months I lost 26lbs. In the last 7 months I put back on 12lbs.

I decided this time that I need to follow a structured plan and have joined Weight Watchers online.

I am not dieting I am making a life change!

I have set mini goals with rewards for myself.

Everytime I hit a goal I will put $1, per pound lost, in a jar to go to my new clothes.
-260lbs (my pre-pregnancy weight in 2006) = A pat on the back.
ACHIEVED: 9/22/08 ACHIEVED AGAIN: 5/31/09
-257.4lbs (10% Loss) = A food scale
ACHIEVED: 6/7/09
-244.9lbs (10% WW Loss) = Eyebrows waxed.
ACHIEVED: 8/2/09
-240lbs (my pre-pregnancy weight in 2001) = A new CD/Movie
ACHIEVED: 8/22/09
-230lbs (lowest adult weight) = TBD
-214.5lbs (25% Loss) = TBD
-204.1lbs (25% WW Loss) = TBD
-199lbs (ONEDERLAND!) = TBD
-186lbs (100lbs GONE!) = TBD
-172.1lbs (100lbs Gone on WW) = TBD
-161lbs (125lbs GONE!) = TBD
-147.1lbs (125lbs GONE on WW) = TBD
-143lbs (50% Loss) = A WHOLE NEW ME!
-136lbs (WW 50% Loss) = A WHOLE NEW LIFE!

I really don't know what my final goal will be as I have never been thin as an adult so I don't know what weight will look good on me. We shall see!!
