I finally made the decision...

[rivas101202]

Well, I finally bit the bullet and I started a diet. Last night I joined Weight Watchers! I am so excited and a little nervous. I want so badly to succeed. My husband and I are doing a Disney Vow Renewal and I just want to look better than I do now. I was never really worried about my weight and then I saw my vacation pictures from my Disney trip last Sept and I really couldn't believe that way I looked. I am finally making this choice for me and only me. I want to change my life. I need help!!!

Congratulations! I've been doing WW since August. I'm down 22lbs. You can do it too. Probably faster than me! I had a similar motivation factor. A trip in May of '06 and I did not like the pics. So now I leave in 5 days....I really hope I look better! Not to goal yet, but that's ok.

Join us on the WW weekly weigh in thread too!

Welcome to WISH and good luck with WW. It's a great program, and this is a great board to find inspiration and support. There are lots of fun threads to join in on. I've done ww numerous times, and this time have lost 30 pounds. If I follow the plan, I always lose weight, and you will too. Congratulations on your vow renewal. How many years? Were you married in WDW also? Good luck to you. You can do it!!!!

Thanks for the great words guys! I am really taking it one day at a time but I really want this to work! As for my vow renewal, Marvin and I have been married for years. We got married really young (I was 20 he was 21) and we had such a big family we couldn't afford a big fancy wedding. I didn't get to have a professional photographer. Now we are on the verge of having kids (trying but we have some issues) and it is just going to be for us. We are getting a the MK photo package and I am so excited. We feel like it is the last big thing we get to do before we start a family and I want to look really great in my dress!! I look forward to getting to know everone on here. It really seems like a great board!
