Profile Information

About Me:: Mother of three kids. Girl age 7, boy age 3 and boy 1 year. I am currently pregnant and due in March. I want to control my weight gain so I can enjoy my new baby and not get depressed over my post baby body. I plan to sign up for a half marathon in September 09 as a way to motivate me in my post baby weight loss.

Plan of Choice:: Weight Watchers

Another Monday.

Tomorrow is the day I am really going to start. Tomorrow is the Monday that I am finally going to stick to it. I vow to go to the gym at 6 when my husband gets home from work, and I vow to stick to my ww points. I am going to weigh myself, so that I have a clear picture of where I am starting.

Not too bad.

Day two, not too bad at all!! I ran four miles at the gym this morning (38:14) and I mowed our lawn (probably burned some major calories because the self propel broke) and I went on a 20 minute walk with my sister. I did great with food-I only ate 20 of my points. I was going to get an iced latte but the store was closed. I did mess up by eating a piece of pizza a few minutes ago. My husband is watching the hockey game with a friend and they sent me out for food. If I had the latte I could have… Continue

Great day!!

Saw a reflection of my butt in a mirror yesterday and after I double checked to see if that actually was my reflection I once again decided that I was going to get serious "again". Today went great!!

Here is what I ate and I don't feel deprived at all: blueberries 1 apple 1 coffee 2 fiber one 2 iced latte lite 2 cheesestick 1 salad with chicken, dressing, salsa 9 skinny cow icecream 3 21 points (… Continue

Does anyone else have problems making it past three days???

Just frustrated and wondering if anyone else has the same problem. I do super good the first two days of my "new life style". I eat right, exercise and feel fantastic. Then the third day hits, something doesn't go as planned, or I am starving, or both and I fall off the wagon. Then the horrible philosophy of I've already screwed up so I might as well eat everything in sight and start over tomorrow sets in. Would love to hear your thoughts and how you get past that third day.

Kickstart is a little program that WW has where you really reduce your points intake to 'kickstart' your weightloss. But they recommend only following this for 2 weeks or so. I normally am allotted 25 points a day, and on kickstart I think its like 20 a day (plus a certain about of Flex points). They have a little brochure booklet with more info. I have yet to actually follow it- 20 seems SO low, but it I really get stuck on a plateau I may try it.
