Getting to know you.....
I am new around here and looking to mkae buddies on here. I belong to another weight loss forum and we used to do this post often to get to know new people on the boards.
I am Jen 36 and about to marry the love of my life, Kevin. We have 5 kids (3 his, 2 mine) and live in a little town about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh....although I grew up in NY.
I have always had a weight problem, always. For the majority of my weight loss career, I have done WW with alot of success. My highest joining weight was 240 after I had my daugther 9 years ago and I lost 90 pounds. I would do the stop going and rejoin thing every couple of years.....not healthy. I did finally make lifetime at WW in 2003 losing 50 pounds to get there and started working for them for 2 years, but life just got in the way (illness in family, $$ problems and trying to get my ex out of the house) and I really stopped paying attention to me. I decided the beginning of this year to get back in the saddle and get back to my goal of 159...although I am now counting calories....I needed a change of pace, I got that diet mentality instead of a get healthy mindset.
My motivation right now is: being healthy, looking good, and I have to get into a bathing suit for my delayed honeymoon on August 5th! LOL
I look forward to getting to know you all on these boards!
Jen
