For my entire adult life I fought the weight battle so many are familiar with. I tried everything! Low carb, low fat, hypnosis, pills, shakes, tabloid diets, fasts, support groups and every diet plan on the market.

At nearly 350 pounds I had trouble walking. I had outgrown most plus size clothing stores. I felt desperate and powerless to stop eating. And I was still gaining, daily.

On October 4, 2001, I joined Weight Watchers®, again, and began a journey that would change my life, resulting in a loss of 14 sizes, 4 ring sizes, 1-1/2 shoe sizes and 212 pounds.

If you have struggled with your weight for years, DON'T GIVE UP! No matter how long, no matter how much, the only way you'll NEVER lose weight is if you stop trying.
