Hello Everyone. Some of you may remember me as I see lots of familiar "faces". I have done WW several times in the past, mostly recently last spring/summer/early Fall. I went back to work in August,the boys were busy with school and activities, and basically I let "life" get in my way. I pretty much quit exercising (at least consistently), and stopped going to meeting in October. I lose weight slowly due to a auto-immune thyroid disorder, but had mananged to take off 11 pounds and was up to running 3-4 miles per several times per week. You guessed it-I gained all my weight back by Feb. plus a couple new pounds.
Soooooo, Feb. 1st I turned 40! I decided this is my year to take care of myself (not in a selfish way-my family will always be my top priority, but now I have to include myself in "my family" and put myself up there too!). I started exercising regularly again (and am joining a new fitness center in town this week as the temps have been horrible here), and went back to WW with a friend last Thursday night (the 8th). I have decided to start with Core this week (I will probably switch them up a bit depending on how my body responds and what the week looks like and to keep my body guessing!) and have been really good about my water intake.
Just wanted to say hello again since I have been lurking for a few days.

Thanks Nicole! Looks like you have a precious little reason to have gained your weight back! (My "baby" is almost 10!). Congrats on the birth of Connor!!

WB Natalie! Happy belated birthday, too! You definitely need to prioritize yourself, because if you don't take care of yourself, you won't be able to take care of everyone else, right? WTG for making a commitment to yourself. Glad you're back. :)
