Hi Emily!

Thanks so much for checking out my blog. It’s great to hear from you!

It definitely makes this so much easier when you know that you’re not the only one struggling to lose weight, so I thought this blog would be a great way to connect with others who are going through this right along with me.

You’re so right in that it’s all about staying positive – I’d have to say that’s the one major difference between my current weight loss journey and all of my previous failed “diets.” This is the first time that I ever truly thought that I CAN do it!

Best of luck to you, and be sure to keep checking in. I post often, and would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! If you have Twitter, I also post my updates there: @jenniferlnelson. Feel free to “follow” me!

Hi Jennifer,

I just wanted to tell you that I’ve really enjoyed your blog. Blogs are really encouraging to me and I love reading about people who have the same struggles as I do but are still trying to stay positive and get healthier! Keep up the good work!

Hi Sonia!

Thanks so much for checking out my blog! I really appreciate your comment.

Congratulations on your return to Weight Watchers. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost significant amounts of weight only to gain it all right back – you’re definitely not alone!

The main thing that was different for me this time was that I stopped thinking of weight loss as having a “start” and a “finish.” I realized that I would have to start eating better and exercising for the rest of my life…not only to get my weight under control, but to KEEP it under control.

It feels as though my mind is finally in the right place – and so my body just sort of followed!

Best of luck on your weight loss journey. Feel free to check back often, and let me know how you’re doing!

hi Jennifer!! I recently rejoined WW and saw your website link and figured I’d check it out. I read your first entry and I know I’ll continue to read the rest of it and try to stay motivated with your words. When I first joined WW I lost 32 LBS but ended up gaining most of it back. I’m now starting WW again at 276 at age 31. Terrible. I am sick and tired of myself so I am finally going to do what I said I’ve wanted to do for years. Here we go!! Good luck on your 40…not sure how much you’ve lost of the 40 since I am just starting. Going to keep reading now. ~Sonia
