Still on weight watchers...down 9lbs in 10 weeks. Not bad.

Also, still running. I am up to 2.25 without stopping to walk! that's huge for me. I have to brag, it keeps me motivated when you all respond.

Down 7lbs on Weight Watchers

Monday, October 17, 2011

Hello,

I'm down 7lbs on Weight Watchers... and for the first time in a long time, I don't think I will gain it back. It took me a month and a half to lose this, but if it's for good it is SOOOOOOOO worth it.

The meetings are helping me so much. By the end of the week, I get discouraged. Then the meetings help pick me up and start a new week all over again.

I'm also keeping up with my weight training and cardio, but since the flood I haven't been jogging. I was up to 1.9 miles before the flood. Time to get my butt back on the treadmill!

Hey it sounds like you are definitely ON to something! Great news! Treadmill will make it even BETTER! Been back to using mine first thing in the a.m. too. Don Report Inappropriate Comment

Joined Weight Watchers

Wednesday, September 07, 2011

I officially admit that I can't control my eating. So I joined weight watchers. 3 years ago when I joined on-line, I lost 10 lbs and was able to keep it off for a while. Time to hold myself accountable again. This time, I'm attending the meeting so that I have to admit it not only to myself, but to a room full of people.

I exercise 4 times a week and feel that I have a good handle on that. I am able to run 1.9 miles now, and am building myself up to a 5K. I do weight training as well 3 times a week.

I just can't seem to control my portion size. I eat healthy, and unhealthy, but either way can't control my portion size and eat too much, especially at nights and on the weekend.

I have to hold myself accountable, but I will need your support. Its so easy to say screw it and eat a sleeve of Oreos..... so very easy!

I hope this works!

Down 6 lbs

Friday, July 29, 2011

So it took me 4 months to lose 6lbs.... oh well, at least I did it. I am eating healthier, still doing weight lifting 2-3 times a week, and now jogging. YES JOGGING. Who would have ever thought I would do that. But I am doing it and I'm loving it.

I have a long way to go, but at least I am doing it.

Now I just need to stay away from sweets! I eat lots of veges, but need to leave out the sweets.

Thanks for all your encouragement!

  

still doing weight training and loving it

Friday, June 17, 2011

I still am doing weight training and loving it. I am back in 2 pairs (out of the 6 pairs) of capri's I wore last summer. The scale hasn't moved more than 2 lbs, but at least I can fit in my clothes again.

I think muscle weights more than fat.

Also, ever day at lunch we have been walking a little over a mile. It is really helping and adding up.

That is great! Weight-lifting is up my alley too. I go by my clothes size and measurements instead of the scale. Keep up the good work, and keep this image in mind about a scale: Report Inappropriate Comment

Muscle may weigh more, but it is also more compact and slimming! Kudos to your efforts! Savor those rewards! :-) Don Report Inappropriate Comment
