Where are my manners?

I realize now that I started this blog without ever really properly introducing myself, how rude!

Hi, my name is Sonya. Thank you for checking out my little blog. In the future I plan on posting Vlogs too – but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Procrastinators unite! I started this blog to keep me accountable during my weight loss journey.

Why did I join Weight Watchers? Like most people that have struggled with their weight I have lost and gained weight throughout my life. At, 15 years old I lost 20 pounds during summer break. I quickly gained that weight back. At, 19 years old I lost 40 pounds, and quickly gained that weight back. I’ve lost a few here and there, but for the most part I’ve steadily gained.

In November 2009 I found myself unemployed and depressed. The weight packed on quickly over a six month period. During this time I gained 40 pounds, my highest weight ever of 240 pounds. I had given up, I thought I tried everything. Over the next few months I resolved to the fact that I was going to be unemployed and fat forever- and then I landed a job. After a few months of work I decided I should try losing weight again, but I had tried everything already!

A very good friend of mine joined weight watchers and lost a good sum of weight – that’s when I finally realized I hadn’t tried everything! I wasn’t prepared to try the plan yet, I begun to look online for testimonials and proof that Weight Watchers could work for me. I found so many inspiring blog, vlog, and networks dedicated to Weight Watchers.

I decided that I was ready to give WW a go.
I joined Weight Watchers October 2nd, 2010. My weight loss thus far:



I’ve lost 24.8 so far and I’m still going strong! As, you can see I’ve had a few bumps along the way, but I just keep picking myself up again. Nothing is going to deter my devotion to this adventure.
