I think is all part of maintance. Finding the right balance of having what you want and still watching points. You must be doing a great job considering the loss you had last week. A couple days here and there with splurging aren't going to hurt y...

Profile Information
- About Me:
- Well I am back! After getting pregnant last June and having a baby on February 28 I am ready to do this. I started with Weight Watchers shortly after she was born but couldn't get motivated and kept wanting to eat terribly. So I joined our local gym and bought myself 12 weeks with a personal trainer! I go twice a week and he kicks my butt every time. I also try to hit the gym 2-3 times a week in addition for cardio. I am starting to like exercise again!
I am here for motivation and support as I start this journey again. I previously was on here before coming pregnant by doing WW. I lost about 20-25 lbs in a year...so obviously I wasn't very dedicated. With my pregnancy I gained 50-55lbs and I was overweight to begin with, so now I have that much more to lose.
I WILL do this! Not only will I do it for myself but for my hubby and kids!
Wish me luck and good luck to all of you on your journey!

Goals & Weight Tracking
My ultimate goal is to be at 140, if I could hit the 130s someday I would take that (even 139.9 just to say I was there). I NEED to be at and maintaining my goal weight by my Brother's wedding (which I am in) in April 2011 (yes a LONG time way, so I should be able to do this!). Obviously wtih a large amount of weight to lose starting at 222.8lbs, I have a long ways to go. Here are some of my mini goals to help me stay on track. I hope to choose a small reward to go along with each and keep me focused.

Hanging on....
Hanging on so far this week. I have used 10 of my FP already and its only Thursday afternoon- NOT GOOD (thanks to my frozen yogurt splurge yesterday) since we are going on vacation this weekend for 5 days. But I can do this. I had my usual cereal (cheerios) with a multi grain lite english muffin for beakfast, stopped with the intent to get a sugar free latte and ended up with a frozen hot chocolate (YUM)- but only allowed myself half of it (3 pts). Lunch I did pretty good....egg white omelet in… Continue

Holding myself accountable....
So after a great weigh in yesterday and feeling on cloud nine all day i was doing great. I Went over on a few points yesterday but that is typical of my trainer days since I need the extra protein. But today was no excuse. Non trainer day and I only have 1.5pts left for the day. That includes any afternoon snacks and dinner. YIKES! I can't even eat a bowl of cereal with those points! Now you may wonder WHY I have so few points left....that is because after my lunch I decided to have a bowl of fa… Continue

I did it! I really freakin' did it!!
I am SO proud of myself. I told myself I really wanted to lose 2lbs this week to hit 20lbs+ gone. I really focused on my eating, tracked every bite and didn't use all of my FP or my APs and....I lost 2.4lbs this week!! I am so happy. If you have been following my blog you know I Have been struggling with WW vs my trainers plan and all that stuff in between. Well I told myself I could do it and I did. I am just on cloud 9. That means my 10% is 1.7lbs away (200.5). That is my mini goal for this ne… Continue

Took a peek....
at the scale after my really great week and it said down 2.4lbs! Now if I can hold that out for tomorrow's weigh in I will be ecstatic! Not only will that be a bigger loss then I have seen in a few weeks, but it will mean I hit my 20lbs, am that much closer to getting out of the 200s AND that I can stay on my WW plan and don't need to go back to my trainer's plan just yet! Wish me luck. I am hoping if anything it stays at that, if not maybe even a little more. But I won't get greedy!

Ready to start the weekend....
Today is off to another great start. I have been tracking everything and while I did go over on points yesterday I still have over 27 left, plus APs for the weekend. I plan NOT to use many of them if I can help it. Based on my two training sessions and 2-3 cardio sessions this week I will have 17-20 APs earned by the time Monday rolls around. YAY! SO good for me. Now I just have to make it through the weekend without going overborad and I should be set. Nothing too much planned for the 4th...I t… Continue

Rachel said… - Thanks for your comment! This is what I did for exercising- I started out with the 30 Day Shred, which is a 20 minute workout video by Jillian Michaels that uses hand weights. There are 3 levels that you can build up to, and the video is absolutely amazing. I think I got it for only $7 too! Then after doing that for about 4 months, I started running (I did the couch to 5k program) and shortly after that I bought the no more trouble zones DVD by jillian michaels. I currently do that about 2 days a week and run 3 days a week. I hope that helps!!

Robyn said… - Just wanted to stop by and thank you for the comment and also to catch up with you! I remember you coming back in May or so...but have honestly been "missing" posts! You must post at times I'm not in here much! I need to make a point of "visiting" your page more often!
And did I mention to you...your little girl is SO damn adorable! So glad you're back! Hang in there...sounds like you're trying hard. The extra baby weight will all come off in time!

- You are losing a good amount! Just stay focused. The 30 ds has slowed some for me. I pulled my calf muscle and when I do the video it hurts really bad so I am giving the video a rest for a little bit and trying to run more. For some reason I can run with a little soreness but when I do the video it really hurts. It is a great workout though. I am drenched in 20 minutes when I do it.

- Thanks Kelly. I cancelled a few months ago with intentions of starting meetings and I never did. I got a 20% pay cut and I am taking classes towards my RN again in the fall so it makes more sense for me to do online now instead. I thought I could do it on my own but obviously not. How is ww working for you instead of your trainer's menu?

- Kelly, I hope you have a great day! Don't be so hard on yourself regarding workouts, you have a new baby for goodness' sake :) She is so beautiful too, I love the new pictures! Your kids are both gorgeous.
