Hi everyone!

I figured it was safe to post an intro now after lurking the last few weeks. The water seemed a bit too rough for me awhile there!

I'm Jennifer. I just turned 29 last week and I have a wonderfully supportive dh. We have a 2 year old son. We live in WV.

Now to my weight... I have finally admitted that something needs to be done before it gets too out of control. I have always been overweight (even in childhood looking at pics now). I have started following my Weight Watchers Flexpoints at home AGAIN and I joined a gym in mid-August. I think I am doing pretty good right now, but I know I will need support to get over those bumps and humps in the road. Plus a good challenge here or there will also help to push me. There appears to be alot of supportive people here and hopefully I can reciprocate that support.

Here are my stats: Began on 8/13/04 - 236 lbs, 46.1 BMI, and 47% body fat

As of 9/3/04 I was down to 224.5 for a net loss of 11.5 lbs so far.

My short term goal is my 10% loss of 23 lbs (213lbs)

My ultimate goal is 130 lbs.

Hope to get to know everyone better here!

Jen

Hi Jennifer. I tried posting this welcome before, and it didn't go through. Now watch, it will since I've done this.

Well, 2 times the welcome to this great board.

Welcome Jennifer.

It's wonderful that you decided to join us. Congrats on the successful weight loss. I am on the WW program as well, I think some other ladies are too. Also, I have only been a member of this board for a short while, and all of the ladies here are very warm and supportive. I hope this board is exactly what you need to get over those bumps. It sure is working for me.

Take Care...
