Hi, all!
I think this will be fun. We can encourage each other and celebrate together!
My weight loss journey has been up and down and all around for the last 24 years or so, mostly up! After Jack was born, I lost 30 pounds and it all crept back... and then some. Finally, when I saw the pictures of me at Rocky's wedding, I was disgusted! So, I lost 30 pounds (again!) through "Weight Loss Forever", a program that encouraged good eating habits and a healthy dose of supplements. And AGAIN, the weight crept back on. I lost 15 pounds when I started working at Kohl's... all that bending and walking, I guess. But when I quit -- you guessed it! Here came those 15 pounds.
Through the help of my sistahs and Dawn, I was able to start using Weight Watchers, in earnest, a year ago in June. What I've discovered is that as long as I
write down what I am eating, and plan my food intake, I am really good to go... losing a pound or so a week. When I am not conscientious, all heck breaks loose. I think that is why I am only down 18 pounds in
14 months. I got serious again in July, though, and have lost seven pounds since then.
Up and down, up and down. As much as I love roller-coasters, I hope to step off of
this ride for good! I feel so much better now than I did. I can look at recent pictures and not cringe. So... here we go!
Peace and blessings,
Annette
