My story: 

I was a thin child, up until Kindergarten! I was always taller than the other kids, and I always had a few extra pounds on my body. I had bigger legs than my teacher in 1st and 2nd grade, and in 3rd grade, I started to see that I was bigger than most kids, even the 5th graders. Same with 4th and 5th grade. But I was VERY fortunate! I was never made fun of, and I was well-liked by the other kids. In 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, I was still overweight. I first started WW in 7th grade, I think. It was when I was 13 y/o. I realized then that I was overweight, and that I needed to do something about it, and so I approached my mom about it, and we joined together. Now, as a 13 y/o, you wouldn't stick to a lifestyle. And that's why I'm obsese now. Because I was fat then, and didn't stick to it, so now, I'm even fatter, and as a 16 y/o, it has really hit me. I need to change me. I need to let God work in and thru me.  I not only want my heart to change for the better, but I want my body to change, also for the better. I started Janary 1, 2009, at a very high weight of 260 lbs at 19 years old. Now I just find that depressing-but! I'm well on my 'weigh' to losing weight and being thin again, as I once was at a really young age. I know that it'll not only make me happy, but it'll make my mom and dad happy, because they're overweight, and so is my sister and brother. And finally, one of us has taken charge and has done something about it!

Enjoy & God bless-
