Woman Shares How Weight Loss Program Chnaged Her Life

Since it’s a new year, I figured I’d re-introduce myself! I’m 31 & from Long Island, NY. I’m married to my husband Michael & we have an (almost) 2 year old, Brock.


I reached lifetime back in 2011. In 2014 I got married & all the weight came back, & then some. On our honeymoon, I gained 10 pounds in 2 weeks. The wedding was over & it was a free for all. Those 10 pounds QUICKLY turned into 20.

I hovered for a while & then we found out I was pregnant but within a few weeks, we learned there was no longer a heartbeat . I spent the next couple months eating my feelings & added on 10 more pounds. A few months later, I was pregnant again & for someone who has struggled with their weight forever, it felt good to not have to worry about dieting for 9 months. Fast forward to the day the anesthesiologist came in asking for my weight to give me my epidural. Michael was in the room, I was mortified. I told the doctor ”the number” & made a vow to lose all the baby weight before this baby turned one.

I rejoined @ww in Feb 2017. I played around. I hardly tracked & missed meetings. It took me 6 months to lose 10 pounds, but who was I kidding? I was expecting results without doing the work. It took until November for it to FINALLY click

I had to make a change. NEVER miss a meeting. Devote ONE hour a week to myself. Weigh & Track EVERYTHING. Give the program my all. That is when weight started coming off & before I knew it, I was back at my pregnancy weight when Brock was 11 months old. Since then, I’ve hit so many personal milestones. Over 83 pounds lost from my HW. I went over 8 months without a gain! I reached goal & got back to lifetime I’m 57.6 pounds down on #ww.

In October, I suffered yet another miscarriage. To say I’m struggling emotionally is an understatement. This time however, I haven’t let food become my comfort.
This program has changed my life. I made a commitment to myself. I re-evaluated my why. I’ve stayed focused. I worked on the mental part of this journey. I’ve learned to stay mindful. I am forever grateful to WW for giving me the tools I need to live a happy & healthy life!
