Hi, my name is Amy and I am 38 years old. I've been married to my husband Mat for 1 year. I have a 12 year old daughter and two step-daughters that are 11 and 9. I teach Early Childhood Special Eduation with the local school system.
I have always struggled with my weight, up until about 12 years ago when I was able to loose over 40lbs with Weight Watchers. I attained my Lifetime Membership and subsequently stopped attending meetings and journaling to keep track of my points. This seemed to work for me. During this time I went through a divorce, got a new job, and went back to grad school. At this time, my daughter also began Kindergarten during this time. I believe that all these "life altering" events kept my weight stable. Then, I began dating a great guy. Many dinners out and happy times together began putting the pounds back on slowly.
I realized that I needed to something...and here I am...
