Turning 35 made me decide it was time to get my weight under control once and for all. I have been battling a weight problem since I was about 8 years old. I started Weight Watchers for the first time when I was 13. My weight at that time was 164. I lost 20lbs, which I promptly gained back. In January of 2002, at the age of 26, I ended up going back to Weight Watchers where my weight then topped out at 245. I was able to lose 20lbs in about six months and have been fighting ever since to keep that 20lbs off plus lose more. I have yo-yoed between 235 and 210 for 8 years now. I am so sick of carrying all this extra weight around that I am now determined to lose it for good. I have put my goal weight at 170lbs, but right now I would be happy just getting under 200lbs. Time is not on my side, considering with age it gets harder and harder to lose weight. That's why I figured it was time to get serious since my 35th birthday is/was this year. My husband and I just moved back to Maine from Connecticut where we had been for four years. The change threw me off my exercise routine so now I am trying to get back to exercising 5 days a week between 30-60 minutes, which I had been doing for two and a half years. The job I have now starts earlier in the morning so I am not able to exercise before work like I did when we lived in Connecticut. I am trying to make myself do it when I get home from work, but my motivation is somewhat lacking at that time of day. If I want it badly enough though I can't make excuses I just have to do it.
