Week 2 on Weight Watchers.

Hi all, and welcome to my blog.  Im a first time user of a blog, but there is a first time for everything isnt there. :) 

Let me first introduce myself.  My name is Michelle, and im 36 years of age.  Also, I have a serious weight problem.  Im 1.60m tall and I weigh an astonishing 126.5kg.  Two weeks ago, I walked into a Weight Watchers meeting weighing 130.2kg.  Five months before that, I weighed 136kg.  I knew i had to do something about my weight very soon, otherwise i may not live long enough to get married to my gorgeous fiancee in 2012, nor see my 7 year old little boy who has autism, grow up.  I have a lot of life to live, and if i dont do anything about my weight, i will never get to have those things.  A month ago, i discovered that i also have an Umbilical Hernia and i will be needing surgery to rectify that.  Its only been 2 years since I've had my last surgery and that was for a serious gallstone problem, so i had to have my gallbladder removed.  To top it off, I was also diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Sydrome (PCOS), Metabolic Sydrome, high blood pressure, and live with only one kidney.  Carrying so much weight is not helping, so here i am.  This is my chance to get my life back and get my weight down to a healthy range. 

On a happier note, I've just had my second weigh-in last night and im happy to report that i have lost 1.7kg. That's the exact same amount i lost on my first week of weigh-in.  So, im happy with that result so far.  Any loss is a good loss in my opinion.  This is the very first time i am with any weight loss program.  I havent had much success going at it alone, so here i am.  And who would have thought i would be sitting here writing a blog. hehe  But I am in this for the long haul and if i can inspire just one person out there to make a positive change in their life, I've succeeded.  :)

Well, thats all for now.  You all have yourselves a lovely day.  :)
