Starting over again 01/01/10

Jan. 1, 2009 ~ 199.8
Jan. 1, 2010 ~ 168.8
Total for year is 31 lbs.
Goal for 2010 is to get down to 145 lbs. by Dec. 31, 2010
I actually got down to 155.2 at one point, and then gained back 13.6 lbs. I totally expected that over the holidays. But now, I am going back doing what I did last year to lose the weight.
Portion control
Heavy on natural foods,
Light on simple carbs
Walking every day or excercise of some sort.
I do not deprive myself of a bite or two of pie, cake or candy. I do however limit my intake to just enough to taste and then put the rest down and walk away.
Although I did gain a bit over the holidays, I did not and will not allow it to run over into the new year. It was like going to a party, and now that is over and we get back to the real world.
Won't you join me as I begin my journey back to health?
Helen

| Helen, I will definitely join you. I admire you for your courage in posting your "before" weight, so here I go ("gulp!"): January 5, 2009 - 221.8 (unbelievable, isn't it, for a woman to weigh that much! - I never in a million years would have thought I'd get that big, but I did.) January 1, 2010 - 165.8 Total loss - 56 pounds My goal weight is 150, so need to lose 16 more pounds to reach it. OF COURSE, would love to lose more, but I have to be realistic at my age (59.) Happy New Year to you! |

| Wodka, you did fantastic !! Hey girl, I am 66 years old, and I think that you can lose more if you wish to. But will it look good on you? That is the question I think. I don't think I would look good weighing say 135 lbs. like I did so long ago.. I looked great then, but gravity and old man time has decided to re-arrange some of my body and a lot of it has headed south. LOL Lets face it ladies, I will never be "perky" again. But healthy and be able to shop for decent fitting jeans and slacks and wear skirts and sweaters again and look nice would be such a blessing. Wodka, when I jumped on the scales last Jan. 1 and saw those scales at 199.8, that really woke me up and I made up my mind that I would NOT see 200 lbs. Not now !! Not ever !! LOL I sort of got scared into doing something about it. I am glad I did. Helen |
