I used to frequent this board about two years ago, and since then have gotten really, really busy, so I'm not sure if anyone here will remember me or not.
So, to give a quick reintroduction.... Hi, I'm Victoria, I'll be 25 in two weeks. I have a background in the performing arts (singing, acting, dancing...), work for a local opera company in their office...and am marrying a Turkish guy in about three months. :-D I'm loving the wedding planning, but I cannot wait until its over so I can get back into performing on the stage!
As for my weight...I have been over weight my ENTIRE life. I was born as a 9.8lb baby, to my mom who is 5'2''! Although I was never obese, I was always a "big" girl and struggled with nasty comments from my peers about my weight.
My weight always loves being right around 170...and I am currently 175!! (I'm 5'7'') Boo!! Hiss!! I joined WW for the fourth time in 2006, and have been a member since, though not always a loyal member. I actually managed to get my weight down to 159 for a brief moment, but it crept right back up when I wasn't looking.
Anyway, I did my first 5k last year (running) but then I had to stop due to surgery, and that basically brought be back to ground zero. I stopped going to the meetings and tracking, and the weight just piled on.
So, here I am. I haven't had enough balls to go back to my regular meeting because of the gain. I went to my first WI last week. Ugh...
Anyway, I could just go on and on, but really, I just wanted to say hello again to everyone! :-)
