Hello, I'd like to join in on this too!
I'm 34 yrs old, 5'8, I have 3 kids and I work in an office full time.
In high school (my goal weight) I was 150 (my "atleast" goal weight, I'm actaully hoping fr 135). I was very active. Although it still sounds like alot of weight, for my height and bone structure it looked nice.
After I had my first son at 21 (13 yrs ago) I went up to 162. After my second at 28 (7 yrs ago) I went up to 185. I then went on a slim fast diet and got back down to 173ish. Then I had my 3rd son (3 yrs ago) at 31 and shot up to 196
when I just got tired of it all.
By July of 2006 when I knew I was going to be out on a jet ski alot during the summer (its always good to have motovation)
. I knew I had to do something. Besides, I ate so much crap food that I too was getting tired of it and just started to crave healthier foods. So from July of 06 to April of 07. I dropped 30+ pounds to 168 on weight watchers
. I didn't join or go to any group meetings. I just bought the books and did it myself at my own pace. (I basically eat what I want but excersice more to gain back my points). Then I went on my trip to Disney, gained back 6lbs (even with all that walking 
.....I didn't utilize their gym at all...besides it is a vacation). Since then I've basically been about the same.
I weigh in right now at 172 (as of this am). I go to the gym about 5 days a week. It's easy for me to stay on this schedule since my husband is at school during the evenings. I walk for 30 mins (med pace). Then I strecth for about 10 mins. Afterwards I use various weight lifting machines for 30 mins. Whatever time I have leftover, I either go walk more or I grab a magazine and go to the bikes. In addition to this 5 days a week, I just recently joined a hip hop class. I LOVE IT
! Since I've gotten back up on the weight watchers (a week and a half ago), I've lost 4lbs.
Were suppose to go back to WDW the end of April and if all stays the same (I average 2lbs /week), I should be at 152

Thenwood, I didn't get a welcome when I joined in on the group yesterday but I'm sending you a big welcome!
Your progress already sounds great! My goal is to get back down to a size 7/8 maybe even a 
Keep up the good work with weigth watchers. I tried it once but only saw a minimal weight lost in 6 months time. Nutrisystem was better for me and the food has gotten a heck of a lot better. Before it would make a anybody gag.
So I was skeptical on trying last year but was pleasently surprised. Some entrees are still gross some I had thrown those out. But now I'm just trying to eat better with 5 small meals a day.
so what did it really matter. Now, I am not talking cute little cut-offs.
I found some nice ones made by Dockers for women that provided proper coverage.
I had lost 85lb it did take me a year, yet I gained it all back when my 18 year old sister past away 4 years ago followed by my grandmother. The following year my mom was told that she had lung cancer in stage three {last stages of cancer}. That year I had my son and eight months later my mom passed away. 
So in short I GAINED IT ALL BACK. 
I now want to lose weight for my son. . for me. To top it all off this summer I under went surgury {to inplant a filter} due to blood clotting issues. This was the smae reason my sister passed away. It is all scary and I was even thinking about going to get the lap
