Profile Information

About Me:: I'm a 40 year old working mom and wife. Trying Weight Watchers again. I have done it before and have lost the weight and need to again. I realized after watching the Biggest Loser last winter that I could identify with Ali when she said she has had loss of affection. I understand that. My husband has been less affectionate since I gained my weight. I want to get that back again. I want him to support me in this! My family supports me to the point that the weight should fall off overnight and I wake up skinny tomorrow. It's a struggle but I am going to keep trying.

Plan of Choice:: Weight Watchers

Workout Philiosophy:: I stay active doing everyday activities, I'm a walk-a-holic, I love lifting weights

Down another Pound! Happy Day!

I am very happy today!!! I lost another pound! This last weekend I went shopping because my pants are too loose. I went to a consignment shop and got a pair of Jones New York jeans for $17. The best part was that they were a 16W! I haven't worn that size in years. Today I tried on a pair of size 18 pants that I bought last January thinking it wouldn't take long to get to wear them. Well, it took 11 months but I finally fit. These are misses size 18 - not women's! I can't even remember the last t… Continue

Love Leslie Sansone!

I love Leslie Sansone! I bought her dvd since I can't go out walking (the cold air makes my asthma kick in). I did the first workout today and it was great. It flew by and I walked one mile in only 24 minutes warm up and cool down included. Tomorrow I am trying another workout on the dvd (it has 5) and see if I like it better. I can tell you this - my butt hurt and so did my thighs. Boy, she really kicks butt!

My Mini Goal for the Rest of this Year

I've seen everyone make goals for the end of this year and I'm making one too. Now, don't think I'm a bum but my goal is to maintain and not gain. This is the hardest time of year for me and I usually gain up to 10 - 15 pounds so I figure if I maintain I'll be doing good. If I lose then it will be even better! I love to eat - see weight problem - so cutting out all my foods would only make me want to eat more and then I would binge. Not good. So my goal is to not gain any weight the rest of this… Continue

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your help! Lyn gave me an answer that sounded just like me! I am still working on losing. I weighed myself this morning and it said 214. This is the lowest I've been for almost three years. I am planning in candy for this week so it has helped and it really helps that I can't taste anything. I also stopped making charts of how much I would weigh by Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years because I now realize every time I don't lose the amount of weight I wanted (2 pounds per week) I… Continue

How do you deal with feelings of losing weight?

I'm up 1.5 pounds but I'm not giving up. Stupidly last week I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted. I guess I should be happy I only gained 1.5 pounds. Then to top it off I'm feeling run down - getting a cold. On the upside for being sick - I can't smell or taste. I am a person who loves to eat based on taste and smell. I have no want to eat as nothing tastes or smells good. Back to the weight gain... I think a big reason I let go last week was that I was at the lowest I've been in t… Continue

I have several of the Leslie Sansone walk at home DVDs that I have collected throughout the years. I got them from Best Buy, Target and Walmart and usually just bought what the had available but my favorites are her 4 mile super challenge and the 5 mile walk. Each one is broken down by miles so you can do as many as you want and stop when you want.

We were really good about keeping an ice pack tied to his hand for the first 12 hours, so it didn't blister as badly as expected. In fact, the only blister he has is about the size of a penny on his palm right at the intersection of his ring and pinky fingers. My friend is a pediatrician, though. I will call her and see what she thinks. Thanks again!
