3/3/17 Let me introduce myself

Hey everyone! My name is Lisa Zangel! I am a 36 year old married mother to a beautiful two year old daughter. I wanted to start blogging as a way to get my feelings out there while on this adventure, get some positive support, maybe motivate someone else to lose weight and make some friends along the way. Of course I am always open to new ideas, advice or anything you want to share. I have been heavy almost my entire life. I was never really the popular girl in school because I was so shy and self conscience about how I looked. As I got older I relied more and more on food to cope with stress and bad things that were going on in my life! I was told at 18 that I had PCOS and that my chances of having kids was slim. That hurt so much because I have always loved kids and wanted some of my own. I met my husband in 2008 and we fell in love immediately and we’re married in 2011. We started trying for a child but my weight was just out of control and we were just tired of fertility specialists and doctors. So I made a choice to focus more on my health and I started weight watchers. I lost 60 pounds before I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. Happiest time in my life was when I had her. Unfortunately I gained it all back and then some so I started a diet with a coach through an app I found but it was getting to complicated after a year and I was losing my motivation to keep going. I had lost 47 pounds with the app when I decided to go back to weight watchers and have been doing that for the last month and I am loving it. So that is my story on a nutshell and welcome to my journey to a healthier me! 🙂
