About Me:

Like many, I’ve tried dieting many times over the years. I was my heaviest in college weighing in at 161. I lost down to 137 in 2002 with WW. That was the lowest I weighed since high school. Over the past 5 years, I slowly grew back to 153 pounds. I was tired of weighing more than I should, so I started WW again in April 2007 on my own. I lost down to 141.5 in June 2007 but haven't maintained it. I bounce back and forth between 141 and 146. Maybe that's my "Happy Weight?"

Right now, I'm just trying to stay at or below 145. I'm trying to get pregnant, so I'm not as focused on WW as I should be. I figure I'm going to gain weight when/ if I get pregnant, so I'm enjoying my current weight now and will really work hard after a baby comes!

preggo update

I went to the doctor FINALLY!! My first appointment was on Monday the 14th. We had an ultrasound done and saw the baby!!! It was sooo cool. A little creepy looking in 4D! It's so bizarre to think I have a baby growing inside me. I've gained 12 pounds so far. I also found out I'm farther along than I thought. On Monday I was 12 weeks. Right now I'm in week 13. I guess technically I'm 12 weeks and 3 days along. Not much farther till the second trimester. I'm due January 26, 2009!

I still feel pre… Continue

week 9- preggo

Today I started week 9. Apparently the baby is the size of a raspberry now. Unfortunately, I don’t feel like eating raspberries or anything else that is healthy for me! All I crave now is fatty foods- especially Whoppers from BK and Blizzards from DQ. Maybe that will pass. Once again though, I’m just glad I can keep food down and not vomit!! Thoughts I’ve had:

**I need to exercise. Period. Right now I’ve gained 9 pounds. That’s a pound a week. I’m not “showing” I’m just fluffy at this point. I… Continue

it worked!!!

I’ve been MIA for a while now. At first I was just lazy and didn’t want to “point” or watch my food intake. Then I think I was a tad down or sad because I couldn’t get pregnant, so I just ate my feelings. My thought was “well, if I get pregnant, I’ll just gain weight anyway, so why not start now by eating the foods I love??” Then it happened…

I’M PREGNANT!!!

Right now I’m in my 8th week. We told our parents and my step son this weekend. Everyone is excited and anxious!! I’ve gained almost 6 po… Continue

new blog, new week, new me??

So far I like what I see! It took me a while to click through everything and see what was there. It took me even longer to choose a theme for my page! I'm sure over time I'll figure out this blog and it will become just as easy as the last was! For those reading, do we need to import everything from the old blog to here or just keep what we have at weightwatchen? Should I blog at both or just one? Will we be able to add multiple pages on this blog like the old one?

Well, I think I'll get the ha… Continue
