[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 644319, member: 2196"] Thank you so much for starting this thread. It's great we can all support each other no matter what our weight loss goals may be. I am currently 5'2 and 168 pounds. I am obese by current medical standards. That does not sit well with me. My goal is to lose 43 pounds. I have been thin all my life but sine I hit my forties a couple of years ago my metabolism has betrayed me. I'm sure all these antidepressants they keep throwing at me aren't helping either. Anyway, two years ago I went from a skinny (almost too skinny) 120 pounds to a whopping 171 pounds. The heaviest I have ever been in my life. I am not happy so I am doing something about it, but it's been a struggle so far. I started Weight Watchers over a year ago in the summer and lost 17 pounds. The holidays came around and I gained every single pound back. I started back on the plan a couple months later then and I have been doing the yo yo routine ever since. I lose 5 pounds, gain it back, etc. Now that the holidays are finally over it's easier for me to stay on the plan and I have no excuses. I am super motivated and I have no doubt I will eventually lose the weight, although maybe not as fast as I would like. I cannot exercise yet till I get cleared by the cardiologist, which will hopefully be happening next Tuesday. For now I am sticking with Weight Watchers and easing off the exercising. If my doctor clears it I will resume my 30 minute power walking routine after work again. I find it very motivating that I have you all to support me, and I will gladly give as much support as I can right back to ya. [/QUOTE]
