I am a married 43 (soon to be 44) yr old working mother of 2 teenagers (18 yr old daughter and 16 yr old son). My husband and I have been married 21 1/2 yrs. Like many of you I did not have a weight problem as a child/teenager. Around the age of 22, my activity level severly dropped but my appetite did not. I am an emotional eater. My grandmother (who is 83 yrs young and lives with me) is a life-time member of WW, lost her weight in the days of ketchup not being permitted on plan. I am following the WW At Home program. My goal weight right now is 175 lbs (I would love to drop to 150 lbs eventually). My goal for 2008 is to focus on my wellness. I would prefer rapid weight-losss but I didn't gain my weight overnight...

At this point, one day at a time is all I can focus on. Slow and steady losses will keep me motivated.
