First entry

Well today I decided that I would give this bogging a go as an incentive to get to goal and share my story.

My beautiful Grandson was born October 14 2009 and I wanted to make sure I was around to enjoy him growing up . Take him to the park to play and watch him play sport and also enjoy any future grandchildren that I might be blessed with.

It took me until December 30 2009 to take the plunge and join Weight Watchers on line and change a lifetime of yo yoing weight loss and gain forever.

Start weight was 100kg I had never been that weight before and when I jumped on the scales a the 3 didgits came up I told myself NO MORE!!

What a wonderful decision that was I am now coming to the end of my 20th week and cannot believe that it is me when I look in the mirror. I have lost 20.8kg in 19 weeks with no gains during that time.Whoo Hoo!! I had tended to be a stress eating when the going gets tough the food was my comfort. Now I look at dealing with the stress in a positive way, writing in my journal,chatting on the WW message board or getting on the exercycle and riding it out!

I have learnt so much about myself and with each success I feel more and more in control.

A big thank you must go to the wonderful people who have given so much advice and support on the WW online message board

I plan to post some pictures of before I started and the remainder of my journey.
