(SP1653)
I'm Stephanie. I am 42 years old and live in Four Oaks, NC. That's in Johnston County right along interstate 95. I was born and raised in Fuquay-Varina, but have lived in Four Oaks since I was married. I have been married for 19 years and have one son, Brandon who is 14 1/2 years old. That "half" is important at his age. My husband is Kendall, and he is a high school teacher. He teaches Vocational classes (FFA). I work for a pharmaceutical company, GlaxoSmithKline. I have been a WW member on and off for many years, sad to say. I always lost, but would always end up quitting before I reached goal. In May 2004 I rejoined and was determined I was finally going to do it. It took me 22 months, but I lost 73 lbs. I reached goal in March 2006 and my lifetime in April 2006. I am going to do my best to not gain it back. I was at my heaviest and was beginning to have high BP and high cholesterol too. I was also have lots of knee and ankle problems and it was all just because I was carrying too much weight. I feel great now, and no health issues!! For all the rest of the Winners, Mona and I are college suitemates. Funny that we had to reconnect on the WW website, but just glad we did.
