I am a Weight Watchers Lifetime Member...I joined in May 2005 weighing 145 lbs (5' 3" tall). I didn't even join for myself. I joined because my mother wanted to lose weight and needed some support, so she offered to pay for me to go with her - how could I turn it down. At the time I figured "hey, I could stand to lose 5 or 10 lbs". Apparently, I had not taken a good serious look in the mirror recently :)
Anyhow, at the time I set my goal at 125 lbs and reached it within about 4 or 5 months. Since then, I have fluctuated between about 120 and 130 over the passed few years. Late last summer (2009) I reached my ideal weight of 118 lbs - this is significantly lower than my 125 lbs WW goal weight, but I set it five years ago knowing that metabolism changes with age and that my body would change once I had children.
So, this is where I am today...before starting back tracking my food, I was weighing in at around 128 lbs. Not terrible, but my husband and I are looking to start a family in the near future and I want to shed those few extra pounds before getting pregnant to make it a little easier on me after the pregnancy.
