Hello from a second-time-around-er! (first time in century club)

[Katy1234]

Hi everyone! I've posted the same thing in the "Second Time Around" group, but wanted to get involved here too Well, my first visit here was July 2003, and I have been a yo-yoer ever since then. My last weight loss attempt was from 262 down to 233 just before I got married last year (March 2006). I "fell victim" to the newlywed weight gain, and also emigrated, so i now live in the USA, and made it my goal to sample all the foods America has to offer me... Uh oh! Big mistake! I now weigh 295lbs, and am thoroughly miserable about it. My cholesterol is high, blood pressure is high, and I am now pre-diabetic. My husband has also put on 40lbs since we got married, although at 220, he has considerably less to lose. Thankfully for me, he has agreed to do this WOE with me . Oh, and we are both 25. We made the decision today, and will be starting at dawn tomorrow (Monday). I'm excited, but also nervous as I hope I don't get discouraged by the slower-moving scale - We shall see!!!!

So, HI!!! to all my friends to be I hope we can all reach our goal weights before too long

Katy xx

Hi Katy, Welcome! It's so great that you and your husband are doing this woe together! Great to have you here. Post often and let us know how you both are doing.

Welcome! You know how the plan works so I have no advice there.

Now you know what American food can do to the waistline and you know what to avoid. It will be so much easier doing this with your husband. Maybe you can schedule your exercise time together too. Nothing better than having live in support.
