day 5
Going pretty well so far. Last night I was really hungry & ate every little bit of food that I was allowed. It will be interesting when I get a bit further on my plan to be able to see what is in common on those days that I'm really hungry and those days that it is much easier. So far I have exercised 3 days of the last 5. Planning on making it to the gym for the next 2 days and am thinking of doing yoga tomorrow night. Hope everyone else's week is going well.

2 days on the plan
Well, I've done two days on Jenny Craig. Good: I've followed the plan. I've exercised each day for 45 minutes. I drink lots of crystal light Bad: You know what drinking that much liquid does? Why couldn't free Chick-fil-A day have been last week? Actually, there's not that much to complain about. Hubby & I are taking a drive to eastern CT tomorrow to the O'Neill Theatre Center tomorrow. I have a plan and will follow it, but it would be nice to eat fast food and candy. Oh well, I'll live. Tomorrow I've planned to have a drink or two and have a sensible dinner out with the hubby. Not 100% on the plan, but all is well. | | Thursday, July 9th, 2009 | 8:16 am

i'm feeling very positive about this whole thing right now, i lost 4.5lb this week (third meeting) and got my first silver 7 aswell as my 5%, my pilates exercise video came through the post today aswell so that is some nice low intensity exercise i can be getting on with. i love my new family and i love my new body. i spoke to a mum the other day who has put on 2stone since having her son 4 months ago and i am determined i wont do that. i love how weight watchers focuses on healthy eating not just on losing weight. as what i really needed was some guidance on eating the "right" foods. i feel better already, so much more energy, which i desperately needed. i know that the early weeks are the easiest but i am determined to carry on, my goal is 1lb a week so anything else is a bonus | | Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009 | 8:57 pm

Trying to get with the program
Jumping back on the WW bandwagon once again. I am at the point where I've gotten so big that its just not comfortable for me to exist anymore. When I was in the lower 200's I could move comfortably but it would seem that at 265 my body is NOT HAPPY. Oh the back pain..the horrible back pain. So I explored the WW website again this weekend to look for recipes for snacks, lunch and dinner. My biggest problem is vegetables, I just have had a hard time with them since the time I was little. I'm very picky. I went on the Vegetarian section of the recipes and found about 40 recipes that I really like. I'm excited! My biggest hurddle has always been my issues with vegetables and I hope this helps me solve the problems. I think that is my absolute favorite thing about that website, all of the recipes and how good the food is! Now..I have to learn to cook. >.> | 1:30 pm

It's been a while
So I used to post pretty regularly to this community a handful of years ago. I lost about 60 pounds. My life got complicated - I abandoned this LJ and the process... resulting in me gaining everything back. I haven't had the motivation since to really get where I need to go. My life has since simplified. I figured it was time to really dedicate myself to getting healthy. I actually went to the doctor and looked for help because I absolutely wasn't getting anywhere. As it turns out, I have Poly-cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). For those unfamiliar, it's an endocrine disorder that screw up your periods, makes you have hair in weird places, gain weight (or have problems getting it off) and insulin resistance that left untreated becomes Type 2 Diabetes. So I've been treated with Metformin for about 6 months now. I'm eating differently but I wouldn't say healthy at this point. Tangentially, I had braces put on 2 months ago... this has also altered what I'm eating greatly. But I'm still having problems. My thyroid was tested once, but at the time she didn't feel my TSH was high enough to treat me. Now I have a swollen neck and my symptoms have gotten worse. I get results back tomorrow. She thinks it's Hashimoto's - A type of hypothyroidism. Completely treatable... just a nasty subversive thing to diagnose int he first place. So I have all these things going on and I realized I really need to start from scratch. Having answers like these make a lot of things easier to take. That my failings haven't been *all* my fault... and there's treatment. But I need to hold up my end. I need to be accountable for what I can change and part of that is making sure I get appropriate treatment and part of that is changing my habits. I joined a gym. I've been drifting since graduating and not being able to use the gym there and my yoga studio closing. Every home routine I've tried I've abandoned. So I joined a gym and signed a contract because I'm more apt to go if I've paid for something. I also decided to reactivate this account. Start keeping track and use this community for support. It's what got me through the first time... and since everything else I've tried I've given up on. This isn't about vanity... although the perks of slimming down are attractive... this is about wanting to be active again. Being physically fit enough to go dancing all night like I used to and not have to sit out several songs because I'm winded. It's about laying down at night and not tossing and turning for 15 minutes because I'm simply not comfortable. These are my goals. I'm getting married in a year and a half... and I want to be healthy so I can love him longer. It's not just about me anymore. So there you have it. I'm back. I'm going to work the plan and the plan will work. Height: 5'2" Weight: 227 lbs Goals: 125 lbs (negotiable... if I've built up muscle I'm not going to starve to make it to an arbitrary number), swing dancing all night, fit into my favorite pair of jeans, to be able to play Trixie at Rocky Horror at not feel completely self-conscious (my fiance is the director of our local cast), to play kickball and not be winded after running to 1st base. There's probably more but these are the things that bother me the most now. Here goes! | | Thursday, May 28th, 2009 | 5:02 pm

I'm going to sleep away camp this summer, so I won't have control over what I eat.
Knowing I'll be moving around a lot and doing a ton of walking, what are the chances that I'll lose some weight as long as I make smart choices, without being able to count points?
Once I come back I'm hoping to be in more of a regular routine (and hopefully find a job!) and be able to go back to meetings and be strict on tracking. I'd like to lose a good 30lbs before my birthday in December. | 11:01 am

At 162.6 lbs I decided enough was enough. Never in a million years did I ever imagine to weigh this much. I'm seriously amazed. It's like an extra 12 lbs came out of nowhere and now I can't get rid of them. I can't fit into any of my clothes anymore, and one of my students honestly asked me the other day if I was pregnant, because a considerable amount of my fat is stored in my tummy. I couldn't believe it. I was so hurt, and decided I needed to do something about it. So today was my first day.
I have really bad food habits. I'm hoping WW will help motivate me to break some of them. Here's a small list, just to give you a few: -I eat when I'm bored, lonely, depressed, can't sleep, when I'm watching tv and when I'm on the computer.
-I eat all night long, not just one meal then I'm done, but a ton of junk, snacking and grazing. It just doesn't stop, pretty much until right before bed.
-I binge like crazy, mostly carbs. I'll eat an entire box of mac and cheese, then eat a serving or two of pasta, then a few pieces of bread...etc all in one night. Then somedays I'll eat hardly anything at all.
-I compulsively crave chocolate, and will do just about anything to get my hands on it when I "need" it. Seriously. Sometimes I'm so focused on chocolate that I can't do anything until I get it. You'd think one little Hershey's nugget would be enough to curb it, but no. Within an hour, I realize I've eaten the whole bag.
-I don't cook. In fact, I don't have a clue HOW to cook. I grew up in a house where nuked stuff was the norm, and my mom rarely if even cooked anything at all. I eat almost exclusively processed meals.
-I drink hardly any water at all.
-I don't eat breakfast. Ever.
-I'm constantly hungry.
What's frustrating to me is that I do a lot of walking. It's pretty much exclusively my food issues that are causing my problems. So I'm hoping to really run headstrong into the point thing and start losing. I need to do something. I'm sick of wearing uncomfortable corsets and standing in front of the mirror for an hour to try and find something that looks mildly acceptable on me. My goal is 137.6lbs. That's 25lbs. I really hope I can reach it. At this point, I'd be really happy to even get my 5% (8lbs).
Thanks in advance for any support, and I hope everyone on here is doing great!

I was happy that my pants that I have not be able to wear were able to close. I could breathe in them but they were a little tight in the hips. The fact that I could close them and breathe means I am finally starting to lose the weight!! I do not know how much because I got rid of the scale. | 1:02 am

Also, does anyone have any advice about being on a little holiday while on WW? I'm going to Edinburgh on Sunday for four days...
If anyone had an advice on Edinburgh in particular, that would be amazing!
