An intro...

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

A very belated welcome to you Jen!

Congrats on the loss so far...I know myself it can be tough going sometimes but the people on this board always find a way to inspire me without even knowing it.

Cheers!

Lisa
