First I wanted to say that your encouragement has been so helpful!
I figured it has been about a month now and I wanted to introduce myself more to you all!
I am 28 years old and live in Troy, NY with my SO Dan. We have been together now for 1 year and 8 months. I have been waiting for a ring since I met him. I just knew! I was on Atkins for about 3 years where I lost about 100 pounds. I stopped Atkins and gained back 40! I then started Atkins again but only lost 16 pounds in 3 months which annoyed me. My co-workers are all on WW so I and my boyfriends Step-sister decided to go! I am so glad I did. It is a new way of life for me. I started because I am hoping to have to wear a wedding gown sometime soon and I am a bridesmaid in a wedding in August and I want to be able to go for hikes without feeling like I was going to pass out and run around after my boyfriends 7 year old son, Daniel!
I have learned so much from all of you! I don't think that I could ever show my appreciation!
Meridith...I'm so glad that you found WW and even happier that your found us! You are doing so great on the program and you are going to reach your goal! I hope that you'll post pictures in our before and after photo section...especially you in that wedding gown! That is a goal worth working toward.
You are such a great blessing to this site and an encouragement to everyone! Bless you and thanks for being one of our family!
Love, Colette
