Hi!  I'm known as Katfuzz on the Weight Watcher message boards.  I lurk and write on Challenge Central,  and the 100+ boards for the most part.  I post at times on all boards.    :-)

Well my Road to weight loss started 5/1/03 when my mother passed away from years of illness as a result of obesity (diabetes, heart falure, to name a few but not all).  I took care of her all those years she was sick, and when she died I felt like I couldn't go on either.  I was depressed,  and  buried myself in more food to deal with the grief.  I told my DH almost everyday that if I didn't do something soon I'd  be 600lbs, and that I was miserable.

My Mom and I talked many times about trying WW (we tried everything).  She was too sick to go to the meetings, and I was afraid to go by myself (silly I know).  So after she passed away the thought came to me again to go to WW.  6/3/03 I looked up a local meeting on the computer, and the next day I took my terrified self to a meeting.  I waited to the VERY last minute to go, then was second guessing myself in the parking lot.  I then figured what did I have to loose but the weight.  I'm glad I went.  I left wondering how in the world I'd ever be able to loose the weight, but I decided to give it a week, and follow everything they told me to do (water, vegs, even a little exercise!?!?)  I even ate out with DH that weekend (with in points).  They had me hooked when I went back the next week, and lost 5lbs!!!  And I did it without suffering, and starving!  I have never looked back, now I just look forward to all the pounds just falling away and staying on the Road behind me.

I decided to try out my own Weight Loss Site after looking at many of the fellow WWers sites.   Many have been inspirations.   Good way to keep track, a road map to this journey I'm on.  It has been a wonderful adventure so far.  So I WELCOME you to my site, THANK YOU for stopping by.  Hope you like it.  :-))    Please sign my guest book on the way out!   See you on the message boards!
