So funny that this challenge came up, because I was wanting to do this for the next 2 weeks. I am, however, going to tweak it a bit. Our 'weekend/days off' is/are Today (tues) and tomorrow, so I am going to start my 5 snack-less days on Thursday thr…

I tried a Zumba class for the first time on a visit to Denver and fell in love! I am currently searching for a class in my area. Tried one on Saturday, but.... it was kinda... geriatric Zumba! My Denver instructor was young and energetic. This class…

Zumba is a hot fitness craze! It gives you a great workout while having fun doing latin and hip hop dance moves. Join if you do this in your own home(with the help of one of their DVDs) or at a Zumba class near you.

So I added it to my strawberries and it was such a nice treat! The tarty tang added a zing to my berry mix - I loved it! No additional sweetener required. What a great challenge - now I found something new to add to my fruits - and it's chock full o…

So I have had boysenberry jelly, but have never tried a true boysenberry. They were on sale this week so I thought I'd try. They are VERY seedy and not too sweet. I'll mix them with my strawberries and should be fine, but not so edible on their own…

I'm a 36 year old mom to 2 boys, married to my best friend/man of my dreams, and am stay at home mom who records vocals in her home studio once the kids are in bed.

I'm 5' 9.5", was close to 240 at my heaviest and started WW's June '08 weighing in at 231. My initial goal is to lose 70 lbs, but will reassess once I get closer to that weight.

I've been overweight since about 1993 and crossed over into the 200's (a.k.a. the Dark Side) back in '98. I've finally crossed back over and broke 200 in mid August 08 - leaving those numbers behind.

I'm now getting back on track after tiptoeing into the Dark Side.

I am not cured!

So, ashamed, I sit here blogging about my struggles and failures with weight loss. I had my groove - I mean, HAD MY GROOVE! Where did it go and can I get it back?

I made lifetime at Weight Watchers back at the end of February and maintained for a good 2 months and then chaos happened. We all know life happens - it's just that nothing challenged me in life while I was losing my weight. It was easy-peasy. Then came April. Lots happened between April and June. First, we moved… Continue

I MADE GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!

First off, it's been way too long since I've last posted, but that's another story...

I can't believe it! I was very nervous about today. I was afraid that I wouldn't reach goal. On Dec 30th, I was .6 away from goal. The next day we traveled back east to visit family for 2 weeks. While away, I was diligent with keeping on track with a few play days here and there. It was vacation and I was going to enjoy, but within control.

The first half of my trip was wonderful and super easy since my mothe… Continue

Ran my first 5K

What a sense of accomplishment. I couldn't believe that I did it. I averaged a 9:42 min/mile which is almost 3 minutes better than my training runs. I almost cried about 3 different times moved by the whole experience. Seeing my boys cheering me on didn't hurt either!

So I am 2.6 lbs away from breaking 50 lbs. My WI is Tuesday - I'd love to reach that goal on the heels of this high, but any loss is a positive.

MY FIRST GAIN!!!

Ughhh! So, the scales were not good to me this week. But it was only a .8 lb gain, so not that big. Plus, (and this is going to sound like a total excuse!) I think my weigh in from last week was not actual. Every time before weigh in I do a last WI on my home WW's scale and I've been consistently heavier by 1.2 - 1.4 lbs on my home scale than the one read at the meeting.

Last week, there was more of a 2 lb difference, so I'm thinking last week's 2.8 loss wasn't accurate (which was a shocker any… Continue

Made 2nd 10%!!!!!!!!!

Wow, I can't believe it. I've worked really hard and finally feel the pride I should in the accomplishment I've made, which is a huge difference from my self deprecating I constantly do.

Not only that, but I was sure that according to my height that I should be reaching at least 169 lbs. My leader said he wanted to remeasure me to make sure of my height. I'm a whopping 1/2 inch taller than my initial start height. (I didn't grow, I think I just was slouching from my low self esteem - there's th… Continue

HOLY COW!!! you're doing so well!!! your pictures are very telling(I agree w/ the pp you look like you've lost so much more!)...you look amazing!!! the next one is going to be a bathing suit picture ;) I would love to hear what you think it the secret to your success.
What do you record (music) for?

Thanks for being my friend! I will check back frequently. I want so badly to get pregnant, so I am sort of in the zone. I am following the plan to a tee this time, and measuring/weighing everything (that has been an eyeopener!)... I broke my tibia a couple of years ago (have a plate in my leg), so I am afraid to run--any suggestions about exercises I could do that would ramp things up? thanks!

Wow, so you lost over 30 pounds in about 10 weeks? HOW?! That is awe-inspiring!

I also like the way your goals are written..."Break 200, Break 190, Break 180" I JUST broke 180..im sitting right around 179, woohoo!

WOW! I just saw your pictures. I thought for sure you and reached goal and lost way more than you have (not that you haven't lost a lot). You look incredible. Good for you!! You make me wish I would have taken pictures like that!

Hey Fanchy! Thank you for your kind words on my page :-) You and your husband have done awesome things as well. So I read where you are running, that is something I need to learn to love. I currently just do cardio (walking) 5-6 days a week on a treadmill.

It is a small world! SO you grew up here? Do you love Henderson? I will add a link to your blog on my blog page.

Keep up the awesome work and good to hear from someone else from greater Cincinnati :-)

Congrats on breaking the 200 lb mark!! I know how exciting that is, having done it myself not long ago. Your picture is really beautiful.

This week I finally broke the 200 lb mark! I will NEVER be that heavy again. I keep hearing the theme from Rocky playing in my mind.

Today I made my (first) 10% goal at Weight Watchers! Woo hoo! I started WW's 6 weeks ago and have lost a total of 23.8 lbs.
