I just spent an exhilarating, exhausting, overwhelming, energizing, and educational weekend in Baltimore going through intense basic leader skills training. I learned so much. And now it's official....I am a WW Leader :)
It was a long time coming. I've been overweight most of my adult life, except for those 15 seconds when I lost weight after Isaac was born before I got pregnant with Allen. In 2008 I decided it was time to lose that baby weight (so what if my "baby" was 15 lol).
I had gone to WW so many times that I didn't want to do it yet again! So I tried to go it alone. I lost 14 lbs. that way and then nothing. Doug joined WW in Jan. of 09, and in February I decided to join, too. I have lost 76 more pounds since then. I have 10-15ish more to go to be at my Happy Weight, but for the first time ever in my adult life, I am in the healthy weight range!! It is still unbelievable to me. It was a long, long, long, hard road, and I'm pretty impressed with myself that I made it and didn't give up when the going got tough (and it was tough).
I'm excited to be able to help other people achieve their goals. Anxious and excited!!
Here I am before I started losing that "baby weight"
And now nearly 100 lbs. lighter!!
Obviously my fashion sense hasn't changed over the years, even if my body did LOL.
