Meet @ww_jca1877 My journey began in 2012 when my husband faced a medical emergency. I thought to myself that I couldn’t expect him to fight for his life if I wouldn’t fight for mine. I joined Weight Watchers and lost 120lbs. I unfortunately went off program and subsequently gained over 1/2 the weight back. Last May, sick and tired of being sick & tired I joined WW again. With a huge emphasis on my mental health and fitness this time, I’ve lost over 100lbs and am healthier and happier than I have been my whole life. I practice yoga daily and credit much of my success to fitness and the inspiration, help, support of WW, and the instagram/Wlstories community. I hope to inspire others the way I have been inspired and motivated! Starting Tip: keep it simple. Find foods/recipes that you love and find ways to lighten them up. Find movement that you enjoy. Life is so much easier when your doing things that make you not only healthy but happy! ________________ How has the Wlstories community influenced your journey? Answer: @wlstories showed me that I am not alone. Most of us go though life just wanting to blend in, now I know that I am not alone in putting myself out there and attempting new and bold lifestyle changes! ________________ WLMEETUP CHICAGOLAND!!

@wwjourneyofme I began my weightloss journey in July of 2015. I was fed up, miserable, self conscious and wanted more for my life. I had to try a few different things before I found my groove. I was able to lose 60 lbs in my first 2 years on my weightloss journey. Then things got hard and I quit. I started seeing the scale go up again. This was one of my biggest fears, to gain the weight back that I just spent 2 years trying to lose. So I began my journey again in Jan of 2018. I was 177 lbs at that time. I was down 48 lbs from my previous journey. I had gained 12 lbs back after I quit. I felt like this time around something clicked, I was more motivated than ever and even incorporated yoga as my exercise this time, which I hadn't done before. I was able to lose the 12 lbs I gained plus an additional 38 lbs. My total weightloss to date is 98 lbs. It may have taken me 3.5 years to do it, but I wouldn't change a thing. I went from 225 lbs to 127 lbs. I was wearing a size 20 at my heaviest and today I'm in a 4. My waist has gone from 42" to 28". Was it easy? No, but it was so worth it. I've gained self love, confidence, I take risks, I'm happier than ever & I live life to the fullest. Starting tip: is: put the work in everyday. Mind over matter. Do whatever it takes to battle those demons inside. Take it day to day, dont look too far ahead because then it may get overwhelming. Set yourself up to win. Meal prep. Exercise at the same time everyday to make a habit of it. It is possible to transform your mind, body & soul, you just have to believe in yourself. . . 🌴 Wlstories Fla Meetup!! Aug 24th Tampa Bay.

Got another round of Blue Apron meals today and tried out this meal tonight. It was pretty good. Pretty sure it was my first time ever eating beets (they were ok). It’s nice having some variety though! And only 4 points!

Also, there were Girl Scout cookies in the lunchroom while I was making my cocoa and oatmeal, and I didn’t have any! 🙌🏼

I also waaaayyyyy too many Christmas cookies this weekend so I’m starting fresh today and trying to stay on track!

Lunchtime! I’m enjoying a Wendy’s large chili for 4 smartpoints. I love having chili in the fall 🍁 🍂
