First and foremost, I don't even really "know" you outside of this blog, but you certainly do have a soft spot in my heart. I also had a very rough week with work, emotions, bills, etc. (my last post was a total vent). For the first time since I s...
Oh and I wanted to leave you a Bible verse... "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11
Oh Hannah, I just feel for you so much reading this. I can relate to so much of what you said. First of all, I want you to know you are a WONDERFUL, driven, amazing person. Hopefully one day you will believe it! I understand where you are coming f...
Hannah you have to put yourself first. Your relationship could be the source of so many things. You have to move on - please believe me in this. You are so young and beautiful - you will find someone that makes you happy and have a wonderful relat...
Wow. You have a lot to say here, on a lot of different topics. In some ways, you sound like me. I, too, keep thinking about going to church — and I have bills piled up, too. I hope you get the boyfriend issue resolved soon.
A journal sounds like ...

- About Me:
- Hi!
My name is Hannah. I'm 23 years old. I'm a student at our local community college studying Fitness Management. I can't wait to help people reach their goals. Its taken me a while to figure out what I want to do with my life, but I've finally found my true calling. I love the program I'm in!
I have struggled with weight and body image issues for years. In the 7th grade, I was pre-diabetic. My doctor put me on a low-calorie diet, and I dropped some weight. I quickly gained it back. I reached my all time high of 220 pounds during my junior year of high school. I have always turned to food for comfort. It has been my crutch throughout the years.
Then, in May of 2005 I decided enough was enough. I joined Weight Watchers. I started at 220 pounds. This was scary for me. I was only 18 at the time. I had a fabulous leader at the time who taught me so much valuable information, tips, tricks, and her strategies for success. I also met a lot of wonderful people at my meeting. I reached my goal of 145 about a year later. I felt on top of the world.
I continued to go off and on, then stopped for a while. I fluctuated between 155-169 for a long time. It was terrible. My relationship with food was becoming worse. I was binging quite often. My clothes got tighter and tighter.
So, I took an even longer break and tried doing the program on my own, tracking off and on. It was not working. So, I decided to come to this site for the motivation and inspiration to get back on track for good, while also learning to have a healthy relationship with food. I'm also seeing a counselor at school which is helping immensely.
My sister and I just started going to Saturday morning meetings. I've found another great leader. I will post my weekly weigh-ins here, and also blog my thoughts and feelings. I love this site, and don't know what I'd do without it!

Warning: A bit Depressing
Let me warn you all now...I am in the mood to write, and it ain't gonna be full of sunshine!
I have been having an extremely emotional day. Actually, my day started out great. I woke up and made a yummy healthy breakfast. I even tracked it. (Haven't tracked in days!) It felt great writing it down. Then it was off to the gym with my sister. While I was there, I noticed my story and picture hanging. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but our local community center had a bulletin requesting "b… Continue

Done with Summer classes!
I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. As of 10:30 a.m. today, I am officially done with summer classes! I am so relieved! I am proud to say that I've made Dean's List again. I definitely worked hard for that A in algebra! I will never have to take another math class again! Yessss:-) Now I can enjoy a two week break from school.
Fall classes begin on the 29th. I'm kind of anxious about them. I'm taking 14 credit hours and working part-time. I typed out my schedule, and had… Continue

Weigh-In Results & Lose for Good
I maintained this week. I'm OKAY with that. I know it's better than a gain, but deep down I am kind of bummed. I mean, I was on plan all week. I earned well over 27 AP's, and used my flex points. This week I am going to keep the exercise up, but not use so many flex points. I guess I still need to play around with those and see what works for me. One week I had a good loss, even with using all of them. Our bodies are so weird sometimes! I am hoping to see it move down next week. I know I'm worki… Continue

Why am I so tired this week?!
Ughhh is all I can say. I am SO exhausted! It's the end of the quarter at school. I have a math exam tomorrow which I am not prepared for, then next Wednesday is the comprehensive final. I am so ready to be done with summer classes. Then I will be able to enjoy a 2 week break before fall classes begin. Yay! I just feel like I haven't gotten any sleep. I am always in bed between 11-12, but then wake up feeling horrible. This morning I could barely open my eyes! I am definitely looking forward to… Continue

Today's Weigh-In
Up a pound, but I'm okay with that. I used all of my Flex Points and AP's plus some more (on healthy food at least!) Had a bit of a rough and emotional week, but I'm ready for a much better one! I've stayed within my points for the day. Here's my food journal:
Breakfast:
Blueberry Special K
Skim Milk
Fresh raspberries
Lunch:
Lean Pocket
Applesauce
More raspberries (mmm):)
Snack:
Banana
Fiber Plus chocolate chip bar

Christine said… - Hi! Thanks for the comment on my latest blog post. I am all about fruit too--and sour things have been my favorite. I picked up some crisp tart apples at the store the other day and they are yummy! I think the fruit thing is fairly common. It has been fun to be pregnant--a whole new world for me! Gives me a new appreciation for my body too. It is getting towards the end though, and it can be a wee bit tiring physically and mentally. I am kind of ready to be done with it! :~) But, I know I will miss it though--it is fun to feel him kick and to be so close to him.

- Oh, yes...I definitely can relate to desiring a "no drama" zone at work. I think our bodies could definitely need a break from exercise. I'm still a little scared to actually do it. Worried it will create a slippery slope into not working out like I used to. Guess I'll have to think about that deload idea a bit more before trying it.

Jennifer Rundall said… - Hi Hannah: Yes, I can relate to the crazy, hectic and chaotic schedule at times too. My encouragment to you is to keep your eye on your weight loss goals and your education goals as well...this will help remind you why you are doing all of this each time you get tired or want to give up. PERSISTENCE PAYS OFF! :)
Keep it going....you won't be sorry!! :)

- Hey Hannah: Thanks for dropping by my page and leaving me the encouraging words.
Looks like Rachel is giving you some great advice on the weighing only once a week. Losing as much weight as I have I found that to be very motivating too. It was almost a race or exciting goal to see how much I could lose and my reward was to see the scale a lower number every week. It does work! :)
If I can be of any help, support or encouragement...please let me know.
Blessings & Success,
JEN
