Just Joined Weight Watchers

Okay so Monday I had my first Weight Watchers meeting, I am at that excited and pumped up stage:rolleyes:

Currently I am 223.5 and I am 5'8.

YUCK! I hate being that size. I am 21 and just got married! My husband is currently being deployed to Afghanistan and I want to be a new person when he gets back, a year. No, I am not doing this for him, I am doing it for myself, and I think that it will improve our relationship, because my self esteem will not be as low.

I am a very active person, work out around 5 to 6 times a week, I really have become addicted but...eating is my downfall. I don't want to be one of those depressed people who eat the whole time my husband is gone, so I needed to take this step now in my life.

Really I am not fat looking, I have muscular legs, my tummy, well thats another story.

I am a new member to this board, and I am excited to share and read different tips and weight loss strategies.
