Hi everyone! My name is Tasha and I am on the Points Plan. I have done WW in the past, but I want this to be THE TIME! I really need it to be. I am 31y/o and existing in a way that is less than I want. I go to work, come home, and visit my parents on the weekends. I am not a wild, party girl inside, so that's not what I'm missing. But I am missing my friends, church, school, nature, and the joy that comes with feeling good about myself! My family and friends accept me for the way I look, but I don't!!! So, that is why I am here! I am in the process of signing up for the monthly pass, which will make my life a whole lot easier not having to keep cash handy. I end up using that cash on fast food and that is one of my biggest weaknesses right now. I have a very large amount of weight to lose, about 250lbs, and this is going to be a long hard road. I am putting a support system in place to ensure success. I have my best friend, who even though she lives in Connecticut and I live in Florida, is doing the program with me and we are checking in with each other often. I am attending meetings. And now I am looking for the support that will allow me openly discuss my weight, reasons for eating, and that is more accessible when times are good and times are bad. Sorry to babble on and thanks for listening!

Here's to getting to know you! Tasha

Melissa,

Thanks! I knew I needed a support system, I just didn't realize how great this one would be!
