Ok, I am not good at describing myself, but here goes. My name is Ava, I am 48 years old, wife of 1, mother of 2, stepmother of 4 and grandmother of 16. I am 5'1" and weigh 251. I cannot tell you what seeing that number did to me!

I have always had a weight problem, and like most people have tried almost everything. WW has always worked for me, and knowing that does not always keep me grounded, I am lazy!!

My family medical background is bad, my mother, two of my grandmothers have died from heart related problems, my father is diabetic, and has heart problems...you would think I would stay on the WW bandwagon...but no! But I got on the scale and there it was....251! I have NEVER weighed that much, not even when I was carrying my kids. And I have really been feeling crappy, so back on the wagon for me.
