I get hundreds of email each week, many of which are from some of you who have wonderful success stories of your own. They have encouraged me and inspired me so much, that I'd like to start sharing them with all of you. This first success story has brought tears to my eyes. Rachel is such a sweetheart -- you can't help but fall in love with her. Here's her story in her own words ...
Dear Kim,
On December 29, 2006 I joined Weight Watchers. At 246 lbs, I was almost 100 pounds over weight and
felt like I had an endless journey ahead of me.
To be honest I wasn't all that confident that I was going to be successful with this attempt at weight loss.
I searched all over the Weight Watchers website
for some sort of inspiration and motivation that I could do it.
After looking through the many impressive success stories I found yours. I thought your story was amazing and you became my inspiration. I printed out your story, posted above my desk and added push ups and sit ups to my nightly routine. I thought of you when I was discouraged and felt my struggle was too hard.
Two years later I am proud to say I have lost and maintained an almost
100 pound weight loss and on Saturday, January 10th I ran my first half marathon. I still have your picture/story and still do my sit ups and push ups. Thank you for being my inspiration when I needed it the most. Congratulations on your success! I wish you the very best.
Sincerely,
Rachel

Another inspiring story. I too have 100 lbs. to lose and am perfectly willing to do whatever it takes to lose it all finally. I have been back and forth to WW since 1997 (a year after I got married). I walked through the doors again 3 weeks ago and have so far lost 6.6 lbs. Your story is an inpiration to me and I am so thrilled to see your success. I pray for the continued strength and desire that I have now to be able to reach my own goal. Many Blessings to you!

I am tearing as I am just starting this weightloss Journey, I have 150 lbs to go but it starts with just one step right? I have lost so much because of my weight(my health,my marriage, job opportunities) and I hate my photos to the point where I actually get mad at friends or family that take my picture. I love you Kim for what you have done and for this website ... it is everything I will need to do this for me. As I travel this road I will take you all with me then I don't travel it alone.
I cheer for you all...
