wants to be skinny ♥
Hey, I'm new on here and I was wondering what everyone's weight loss story was?
Why did you pick WW? Why did you get to your heaviest weight? How long has it taken to get to goal (if you are)? And how long have you struggled with your weight? Feel free to mention anything I haven't asked; I'm just curious
My personal story (the brief version! the long would take ages to type up):
As long as I can remember I have felt chubby and hated PE in school. At secondary school I hit puberty early as so put on weight before many other kids. They called me fat.
My mother was a WW leader and gave me my first experience of it at 13. I always came out as overweight on the charts and wanted to be less than I was.
I just got heavier and heavier because I avoided PE (thanks to a ***** of a teacher) and ate junk food. I stabilised my weight as I hit my late teens- still overweight though.
Then out of the blue (January '09), my dad died and I gained 21 lbs out of nowhere (literally- I didn't eat anything for weeks) taking me up to a size 16 and 172 lbs (12 stone 4 lbs) for his funeral. I'm short so I looked AWFUL this heavy. Around this point complete strangers started shouting abuse about my weight and figure at me in the street- I was 17 and most of them were older men. :cry:
It took me two years to lose 15.5 lbs through trying to do it myself (including exercising- I discovered I love exercise and just hate sports) and then January 5th this year, I joined WW with my mum (at one of the classes my mum used to run) at 156.5 lbs. I knew I would make myself do it if I had to pay so much each week to be weighed by someone else- and my mum losing 4 lbs in her first week certainly inspired me.
I am now 19 and down to 138 lbs with 12 lbs to go! (I think- having always been overweight, 9st is my current goal based on guessing how I will look- if that makes sense!)
And yep, that was supposed to be brief lol
