My Weight Watcher’s Journey

Both of my parents had Diabetes and I was concerned about my increase in weight being a factor.  I felt tired all of the time and just did not feel well.  My goal was to get to a healthy weight and to feel good about myself again. 

I went to my first Weight Watcher's class and it was nice to meet new people but to also see other people that I knew.  I found it easy to follow the program because the facilitator discussed ways that helped me understand which foods were good for me.  I started to lose weight a little bit at a time and was really encouraged by my results.  It took me six months to reach my healthy weight and have maintained it to this day. 

Just being able to have discussions with other members, support each other and to have a good laugh was part of my success.  I have attained my goal and try to maintain the weight that I currently have.  I was ready to lose the weight and going to class was also part of my success. The best part is that I get to shop for new clothes. LOL! [laugh out loud].
