My name is Carrie. I've never been a "skinny" girl, but I was also not fat. I always considered myself athletic when I was in school. I used to take dance lessons, play softball and I was always on the cheerleading squad. The picture you see on my homepage is me when I was 145 and was taken the summer before my Senior year of high school. This was the lowest weight I had ever been. And I thought I looked pretty good. After I graduated I gained the - all to famous - freshman 15, then had surgery to have a tumor removed from my ovary, and then got pregnant and had my wonderful son Trever (and never got rid of the baby weight). After all this was said and done I weighed in at an all time high of 202.5!! OH MY! This was a big wake up call for me. I was having all sorts of medical problems with my back and knees and had no energy what-so-ever to play with my darling baby boy!
I took charge and joined a gym on September 5, 2002 weighing 202.5. I decided it wasn't enough to just exercise, I needed to learn to eat right too. So I joined Weight Watchers Online on September 23, 2002 weighing 193. My progress has been slow, but I am seeing progress. My ultimate goal is to weigh 135, be healthy for my family and to be happy with myself. I think this is definately a do-able goal.
I wish you all the luck if you are on the same journey as I am and if not please pray for me to stick with mine.
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!
