Losing It.

My name is Merryn. I am an Australian, living in Texas, USA. I am officially a junkie... Uh, I mean MEMBER of Weight Watchers, having joined in February, 2008.

I am a wife to my husband, Matt. I am a mother to our son, Ashton. I also work full-time in the Air-Conditioning industry, as an Accounts Specialist. 

Matt is working in Trends Analysis for a domestic airline, after working in the aircraft maintenance field for a long time. Originally born in California, and having lived in Texas since he was 14, it seems strange to many that he's a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan. We married in 2003, after a 2 week engagement. He is one of my biggest supporters, and also joined Weight Watchers, 2 weeks after I joined.

Ashton has 3 imaginary big brothers: Johnny Cash, John Cena, and Triple H. He knows too much, plays too hard, and has finally started to eat well. Ashton and I love to watch plants grow, and we have a fun collection of green friends that live out on our balcony (I just have to remember to water them).

When I joined Weight Watchers, I weighed 214 pounds. So far, I have been "Weight Watching" for 33 weeks now. In that time, I have lost 39.4 pounds. I currently weigh 174.6 pounds, and I am classified as obese. (Updated: 10/11/2008)
