Am's 95lb Journey

[DISNEYmooner2008]

I am only 19 years old and have just began my second quest at losing a large amount of weight... About two years ago I lost over 100lbs, but did it the WRONG way -- as in never, ever, ever eating or throwing up.... I had to have help eating again and since haven't stopped... Now I am once again overweight, out of shape, and unhealthy. This time I've decided to lose the extra weight the right way. I started WW almost 2wks ago and I'm already down 8lbs and my once-so-tight-i-had-to-lay-down-to-zip-them-size-20 pants are actually zipping with no problem YAY!!!!! With my wedding 13 weeks away, I know that I need to see quick results and need to keep up my motivation. I thought I would start a journal to keep myself accountable for my weight and maybe to gain a little support from fellow "losers". I have a long journey ahead but I am hoping for the best this time!! Wish me luck!!

This is a great place to be. The support here is phenomenal. As someone else who has lots of weight to lose, I understand how it feels to have lost weight, gained it back and have to start again. Doing it the healthy way is the only way to go - that's the only way it will STAY lost and allow us to feel good again.

Journaling is a tremendous help to me - hope you find it to be the same. Have a great day!

Thanks for the support already -- it makes me feel great -- i'm all about this online journaling thing, i think that will really help me to stay on track. Today I am out of work and at home with bronchitis, so my diet has consisted of chicken soup and 1 cup of hot cocoa. Needless to say, i've used almost all of my points on that considering i'm only having 20 points per day.... Oh well.... Maybe I can have more soup later

OK SO I'M TOTALLY PSYCHED!!!!!! My wedding dress came in today AND AND AND AND AND it fits!!!!!!!! I was shocked because I ordered the dress in a size smaller because i knew i would be losing weight and would have lost enough to fit into it by the time it was scheduled to arrive (10/29) However it arrived a month early and the dress fits now!!! YAY!!!! Even more motivation to continue losing weight!!!
