Is it too late to join?
I started WW Online June 1st. I like it so far! I was previously on MFP but it stopped working after a few weeks
I am a BFing mom, so not sure how that plays into it. I also suffer from Hypothyroidism since the age of 10. I have been overweight my entire life. But i feel like im finally in a spot to actually be able to do something about it.
I was 170lb before my MC in October 2009. After MC i gained some weight that wouldn't piss off. So that kept me at a constant 174lb.
My highest pregnancy weight with Isaiah (DS1) was 188lb. TI don't gain much weight during pregnancys, so i am blessed in the fact that i generally get back down to prepregnancy weight within the first day or two after giving birth. By the end of week one I was down to 165lb. I reckon because i spent so much time throwing up during my pregnancy! I had PP Thyroiditis. Due to my thyroid going hypo around 5 months PP, I gained 35lb in an 11 day time span. It was the end of me. It was horrible. It put me to a whopping 195lb (remember, im only 5'1"!). I got placed on thyroid meds and started being very diligent about losing weight and eating right.
Next, I fell pregnant June 2011 with Elliot (DS2).
At delivery I weighed 208lb. Once again, i was lucky to lose most of the baby weight. I easily got down to 195lb. Since then (he was born in February, i started on MyFitnessPal in March) and i had to work extremely hard to lose there after. I got to 190lb but plateaued for 12 weeks. The scale wouldn't budge and I knew i needed to do something different. it was very discouraging to eat a mainly plant based diet and exercise 5x per week and not see results in the scale, in my clothing, or in the inches on my body. So then I started Weight Watchers Online. The first week, I lost one pound. I was thrilled. The second week I actually gained weight . But the third week, it has just been melting off. I am currently 186lb. Its June 23 and im hoping to reach my first mini goal weight of 185lb by the end of June. My long-term goal is to be ~110lb (Im only 5 foot 1, so health wise i could be as little as 98lb, but i need to be realistic here!). though I would be thrilled to get to 150lb! Im taking it one week at a time. Im more than happy with a 1lb weight loss each week...barring anymore long plateaus, i should be down to goal weight by June 2013, but I have adjusted that to December 2013 to take into account those ugly plateaus.
Im not sure what you want to put on the first post as far was weight loss goes. Ive really had to work to lose since 195lb. But i didn't joing WW Until I was 191lb. I am now 186lb
