Tales of a skinny grrl in training

I just thought I would take a couple of minutes to waste some space on the internet and share a little bit of my story with you! I am obviously very much the opposite of a web genius, so please do not hold that against me.

My name is Mindy, I am 24 years old, and I live in Brooklyn Park, MN. I guess I don't really know where to start..

I joined Weight Watchers on February 19th 2002. I have been overweight my entire adult life, and I have half-heartedly attempted to lose weight a handful of times, but never had the willpower to starve myself to death to lose the pounds... This is my first time with Weight Watchers. So far it has been a success, and I hope to keep it that way forever!

There are many reasons that prompted me to join on that blistery day in February. I was tired of being able to only shop at Lane Bryant to find cute clothes in my size(Uhm, I'm 23, hellooo?! I DO NOT LIKE FLORAL PRINT MOOMOOS!!!), there are some bad things that run in my family such as diabetes, breast cancer, and heart disease, and I want to be healthy so I can live a long happy life! But one of the biggest motivators to get me to join was my best friend Erica. She had joined in january and was doing fantastic... I figured she could do it, hey, why couldn't I, right? She NEVER EVER mentioned anything to me about, or tried to pressure me into joining, but when I had questions about how it worked, she never failed to give me a good, patient answer. She has been one of my biggest supporters, and I will never be able to thank her enough for showing me the way!
