About Me:
I am 30 year olds, married, and mother to two daughters - Jael, almost 2 and Heidi, 3 months. About 6 years ago I joined WW for the first time and lost about 80lbs. For the first time in my life I actually felt pretty good about myself. Got married about a year and a half later. I did really good at keeping the weight off and then I got pregnant. I totally threw out everything I had learned and gained 60lbs!!! I lost some and then gained some back. Then got pregnant again - only gained 40lbs this time, but I was up so much higher by then. Now I am about 10lbs less than where I was when I started WW the first time. REALLY want to get this weight off for good, but am having a hard time getting myself OP again. Glad to have found this place.

The Dreaded Slippery Slope

So I am finding myself over the last couple of days having thoughts like, "one soda won't hurt", "you've been so good you can have that dessert in the office" and "you deserve a free day to eat whatever you want." Oh how I've been down this road before and I can not believe how quickly my mind starts to betray me. I know that I can have some of the extra stuff as long as I count it...but I know that right now I HAVE to stay away from soda and junk or I'll rationalize myself back up the 13 lbs I'… Continue

Achieved First Goal!

I'm so excited! I achieved my first goal, which was to enter the 250's! I think I will have to create more goals because this is almost as good as chocolate. Haha.

WW Start

I'm really pumped about starting Weight Watchers today. (I'm not going to meetings, but I have all of the material I need already and have done this before) Last week I lost 10 lbs doing meal replacements for two meals a day and am really happy with that, but I'm so happy to be eating normal food again. I was beginning to get really sluggish and a bit on the cranky side. I'm preparing my head for 2-4 lb losses a week and am really going to try to not weight myself at home again until next Monday… Continue

Getting through the weekend

Wow - I didn't anticipate it being this difficult getting through the weekend. It's so much easier to do this at work when I am busy all day. And this is a 3 day weekend!!! I will make it through!

Still Hanging In There

So here I am on day three and still feeling so very motivated to lose this weight! It's coming off quick, but I know it slow down very quickly and I have to prepare myself for that now. Just thought I'd celebrate that I haven't given up, which has been my "thing" for the last couple of years. Can't wait until I can post a progress picture.

This will be our 2nd child. Not sure if we'll keep going. We'd like a son, but we don't want to keep having babies just to try for a boy. My oldest is 2.5 and she'll be almost 3 when the new one comes.

I visited your blog and saw your adorable sweet babies! I have a 2 year old daughter and 8 month old son. I just started a blog not only for my WW journey, but also about my kiddos (blueeyedblessings.blogspot.com). I just wanted to encourage you and say that you've done it before and I know you can do it again! Best of luck to you!

Hi Barb! Thanks so much for commenting on my page. I live in Billings, but grew up in Hardin which is about 47 miles away (didn't get too far from home, did I?)
