Hey Amanda! I didn't realize we have the same goal, lol! ;) Anyway thanks so much for your positive comments, I'm glad I inspired you (though I'm note quite sure why) lol. Well here's the deal. In Feb 2006 I was at my highest wight ever: 184 lbs. Then I got f***en sick and tired of it so I bought the book The Diet for Teenagers Only, which actually taught me very valuable information about being healthy. So I was happy and I had gotten down to 163 last summer (2007) and then some really, really, really bad things happened in my family -- parents always fighting, mom always working, money problems, stress. It was hell, and I was so upset all that time that I ate constantly so by September 2007 I was back up to 178. Then I stayed the same but when back tao all my old habits, and then by September 2008 I was 182, and I cracked. I knew how to eat right but I was still eating crappy stuff and my portions were way out of control and I wasn't exercising at all. So I joined WW and in the whole month of October I lost almost 7 lbs. It is much easier for me to count points than calories and the weekly weigh-ins are big motivators. Well hope I could help! If you ever have questions feel free to ask. :)
