In The Best Shape Of My Life!
I lost over 50 pounds on WW and kept it off for 4 years. Then I had a car wreck with back injury, followed by a long, debilitating illness AND a fall down some stairs with ankle injury and I regained 36 lbs.
After that, I was diagnosed with anemia, Vit. D deficiency and hypothyroidism. Medical treatment has greatly improved my health and energy level.
My original weight was 192.6 lbs. I plan on returning to my former WW weight of 140 give or take.
