I am a 36-year-old married mother of two, whose battle with weight began shortly after graduating from high school. All though my youth and school years I was active in sports and other activities so my weight never went past 110lb. But once I graduated from high school, school, work, and a boyfriend became more of a priority and exercise put on the back burner. I would eat at McDonalds or some other fast food restaurant at least 2 times a day seven days a week. Before I knew it, my weight had ballooned up to 130lbs and was climbing. I would start watching what I ate and exercising hard for a couple of weeks and would lose weight, then something would come up and slowly exercise became less important. That cycle continued over the years until I reached my highest weight of 200lbs after I had my second child and was wearing a size 24 in pants. My wardrobe consisted of sweat clothes, pants with an elastic waist and scrubs. I never went out except to go work, to take my daughter to daycare or to attend a family function. Then about 2yrs ago my husband (and coach) and I decided to make it our 2007 New Years resolution to lose weight. I didn't have an amount in mind, I just wanted to get smaller. I tried watching what I ate and exercising for a month and lost 3lbs, and realized that I needed help with my diet if I was going to succeed, so I joined Weight Watchers. After starting to cook more at home, watching portion sizes, exercising on a regular basis and a whole bunch of encouragement from my husband, I was able to lose 70lbs and get down to a size 6.
