Starting a New Journey

Welcome to my blog!  About a month ago I joined weight watchers.  Seeing another blog inspired me, and I thought I'd try my own!  I've dealt with weight gain and loss for just about as long as I can remember.  After hitting my thinnest weight ever on a crazy low calorie diet (a story for another day)  over three and a half years ago, I started gaining and didn't stop.  I hit my heaviest weight ever this past October, and decided it was time for a change.  I'd half heartily tried weight watchers before... actually twice before... but never really followed through.  After so many crash diets it was hard to deal with the slow weight loss.  But this time around I want to do it the healthy way.  I know its a lifestyle change, not just a diet, and I knew weight watchers would be my best choice.  So on October 8th I signed up... and so far, third time is the charm!  In my first month I've lost 14 pounds, and over 5% of my body weight.  I have a long way to go, but I'm happy to be off to a good start!
