Hi everyone. I’m Kaelynn, I’m 36 years old and a SAHM of two (daughter and son). Up until a year and a half ago I weighed 315 lbs. I had gotten down to 286 lbs. when I joined Weight Watchers in January of 2005. I lost 42 lbs. and then stalled about six months into it. The stall sent me into a downward spiral that led to my quitting WW and gaining all I’d lost back. So, I’ve gone back to WW because I can’t stand feeling sick and fat anymore. When I eat junk, I literally feel like junk. I’m tired, irritable, and just want to sleep 24/7. I hate feeling that way day in and day out. I also have several health problems related to my obesity. I’m a Type 2 diabetic, I have extremely high triglycerides, and I have hypothyroidism. I just plain need to lose the weight once and for all.
I know that WW didn’t work for me before because I had the wrong attitude. I was happy as a lark, as long as I was losing consistently. When it started to slow down to barely a .6 lb. loss a week, I just wanted to stomp around and pitch a fit. All I could think about was all the favorite fatty foods I’d given up and for what…to only lose 40-some lbs! I didn’t want to have to wait to be slim. I wanted it to happen yesterday. Bad, bad attitude :(
This time around I have a better attitude and more realistic goals. I’m only looking as far ahead as the next 5 lbs. In the two weeks I’ve been back on the Flex Plan, I’ve lost 4.5 lbs. I’ve recently found information on the “Wendie” version of the WW plan and I think that I’ll give that a try.
Well, I just wanted to introduce myself and say “Hi!”
I hope everyone has a great day!

I'll trade you my little gal for your little guy, lol. My oldest is a boy and he seemed a lot easier to deal with from age 1 to 5 than my dd is. He was the quiet one and she is the wild one.
