All about Jacki
What you need to know, want to know, and some stuff
you probably don’t care to know!
Hello! My name is Jacki and I live in Spotsylvania, VA. I grew up
outside of our Nations capital but because Washington, DC has always been
my backyard I tend to take it for granted. For Ex: I have lived
here FOREVER and never been in the Washington monument?? Go figure.
I have been struggling with my weight for as long as I can remember. I
don’t ever remember feeling comfortable in my skin, or with
myself. Looking back at pictures of myself when I was younger I wasn’t
fat at all, but I was always stocky, and I probably always will be. I
had my first child young (too young) and eventually Stocky turned into
Obese.
I am now a 28 year old mother of 2 beautiful girls. One in Middle
School and One a toddler. I have been married to my high school sweet heart
for 4 years and he absolutely ROCKS! I work full time outside of my
home, have a 2nd part time job, and attend the local community college.
Needless to say I have ZERO spare time. When I am not working or
learning I am cooking, cleaning, checking homework, and playing preschool
teacher to the youngest so she will be prepared for Kindergarten.
I started WW for the 3rd time Mothers day weekend in May 2007. This
time I am serious. My first WI was 225.8, and I am 5′3″.
Hey Jacki - your daughters are beautiful.. just like their mom (the apple does NOT fall far fromthe free, eh?).
You have not been posting… I’m worried ’bout you falling off the wagon so I’m here with out-stretched arms to pull you - kicking and screaming if necessary - back on this bad boy. I will not let you give up on you!
… er, that’s “far from the tree” (edit, Kate… edit!)
The apple does not fall far from the tree!

Yikes! I wanted to contact you directly but I cannot readily locate your email address (I switched over to a new computer in the last week or so and well, you know, what with start up snafus and the interminable slowness of the old machine…),
Looks like we both started up yesterday’s thread at about the same time. I didn’t find out till today when I stalked your posts to try to find you! But then you didn’t join when Sigrid told you she somehow noticed the other, and now you’re absent today (I know that you post less often on weekends). I hope you know that I just stepped up to pick up the slack when you seemed consumed by this thing called life, but I am just as happy to wait for your kick-off every morning.
Guess we need a system, huh?
Your latest blog post here seems down. Maybe, the happy medium is that thing that makes the most sense without consideration of emotion (i.e let the head rule), but kindness in its explanation. It is a fine line…
Hello Jacki…I am new in my journey and just came accross your blog! Again, another very inspirational woman that is/was in the place I am in as well! I look forward to seeing your journey/sucess. Thanks for sharing your story/journey…it’s inspirational!
Glad to hear you’re on track! I am feeling so much better this week…without all the food that weighs me down (mind, body, spirit). The lighter food, really does give me more energy and clarity!! Keep me updated on your food finds & menu ideas!! They’re great!
Thank you so much for your comment/inspiration!! The last 2 months I did WW from home…no meetings. But I need to go to meetings!! I went on Friday!! Yayayay!! I am re-inspired! Now…with my backsliding…I have lost 10lbs in 2 months, not great…but at least I lost!! I did so good for Superbowl Sunday…we went to some friends and I did so good…well, the truth is…I started my week on Saturday…because I realize that I need my extra points for the weekend…and I will use them all during the week if I have them, but if I don’t have them, I do fine during the week. So I took my lunch and snacks today to work, and I planned our dinner this morning before leaving for work…to make sure I would be ok on points. I will post my points today!! I am back on track and Thank you so much for your support!! Char
