Lisa's Weight Loss Journey

Hi, I won't bore you with a long introduction--just the facts.  I have to admit this is not my forte, but with many requests I have created my own website.  I enjoy visiting others sites and love to see the visual progress that they have made--I figured it was only fair 

I'm 31 (born in 1975), married with 1 daughter who is 2 years old and live in upstate NY.  I have been heavy since 3rd grade.  I have managed twice in my life to lose about 100lbs in my twenties, but this is my best attempt so far.  I am not new to the Weight Watchers world, I went for the first time at 13 years old and have been four times since.  I also triedNutri System, which I was successful at 16 years ago, but the weight didn't take long too come back after going to "normal" food. 

I have been very committed to the journey this time after reaching an all time high of 342 at the birth of my daughter.  I have to do this for me and my family.  I want to be a better, more active mommy and to be able to be healthy when I decide to become a parent again! 

As of March 14, 2007 I'm down to 218--a loss of 124lbs so far.  I have had a few struggles along the way, I started back on program Oct. 18, 2005.  My father passed away in August 2006 and I maintained for a few months, but I'm back in the fight again!!

This site is still a work in progress--I had to really dig to find before pics and still have to have current pics taken.  I have a beautiful digital camera--but hate myself in pictures!!  I will be sure to update this when I have new pics taken!! 

Thank you to all the wonderful people on the 200+ board who make this journey seem possible.  It is a great forum for all to share our thoughts and feelings!!
