Introduction Text When I was born the scale only went up to 10 lbs...I was bigger than 10 lbs and still have no idea what my actual birth weight was. Thus began the theme of my life, ha. When I was 23 years old I worked in a hospital and I would sneak into the room with the scale and weigh myself. It only went up to 350lbs...I was over that. *groan* It took a month on weight watchers before I could finally get a weight on myself. I lost 117+lbs in 18 months. Fast forward 2 babies and 13 years and 80% of the weight I had lost came back. Aaaand of course, my scale at home only went up to 320lbs. So, when I would get on it I would weigh 10lbs, ha! Oh, wow. The irony of that just hit me! I have been reborn! Holy shizzz! Currently, I weigh the least I have ever weighed in my adulthood. I went back on weight watchers for 2 years and experienced a super frustrating plateau at 265 lbs. *sigh I became a runner in Feb '16 and that helped get the scale moving again, but only for a month and a half. I finally scrapped the weight watchers program and started counting calories. So far it's working, yay! Keep positive and determined and find what works for you! Weight loss is truly a personal journey. There is no one thing that works for everyone. I love that Spark People has such a diverse group of health watchers!
