About Me:
I have been a member of Blog to Lose since October 2008 and a follower of Roni's Weigh since July 2008. I started my weight loss 'journey' the summer of 2008 - so it has been one year. I have lost close to 60lbs and am still going. This year has brought great change: weight loss & healthy choices, as well as I just got married (July 11, 2009). My aim is to maintain the healthy changes I have made and continue on to my goal of a healthy weight of 155. I have been following Weight Watchers. Now as a lifetime member I continue to go weekly to keep me on track while I still aim to lose. I am registered to run a half marathon in early September. I was never a runner until this January when I purchased a Nike+. It has changed the way I exercise, in turn, helping reshape my body and helps to make myself see that I am a strong and powerful person. !



Height: 5'10
Age: 25
Starting Weight: 225.6 (heaviest)

Current Weight: 183 (after a break-up with ww - we are back together now)

Last weigh in (Wednesday)

Below is my New Weight Watchers Goal (since hitting lifetime):






Personal Goal:155

Plan of Choice:
Weight Watchers
Workout Philosophy:
I'm a Running Fanatic

A newbie, but no so new

Blog to Lose here I come!

My body image has been distorted for many years. I have never been satisfied with the way I looked. Now, as I look back at pictures of me when I was in high school, it seems crazy to think that I felt so big.

However, this last July(08), I had a reason for feeling not so good. When I stepped on that Weight Watchers scale ,the numbers 225.6 were looking back at me. I felt sick. Especially knowing that 20 pounds of that I had gained in the last year.

I still have a ways to go - but now I feel like I can achieve it, I will achieve it!

For all of you out there working hard - give yourself a pat on the back.

An evening of guilt.....

Yes....it is sure to be one. I have somehow been able to avoid finding out who won this session's Biggest Loser. I am a big (har, har) fan....but was no able to watch the finale. I am settling this evening to watch it and be motivated - with a side of guilt. Yes, guilt because I have let my weight loss slide to the back burner.

I am feeling good today and definitely know how to lose it. I just need to focus and do the work. Yes, I have that secret weight loss potion in the form of a healthy die… Continue

A Whole Day of Healthy

Yes....that was what yesterday was. I did very good. Today my aim is the same. I am heading out grocery shopping now to get the ingredients for a healthy soup. I have decided to eat a lot of soup to get back down to my low weight. I find that soup is soup. I don't decide to make an unhealthy side or think that there is not enough. I just eat it and am done my meal. Simple. Simple Soup. A hearty soup keeps me tided over and satisfied.

Merry Christmas YOU!

What a wonderful world - right?

I think so. I may not be so wonderful to myself all of the time, but it is not something that I do not strive for.

I am 25 years old. In the past I weighed 225.6 lbs (at my heaviest). My lowest adult weight 162 lbs - on my wedding day this summer. At present I have not been so wonderful to myself. I am weighing in at 178...I even saw 182 on night. Yikes. Not so wonderful.

This post could quickly go into a pity party....hey, I am good at those. But.....it's Chri… Continue

Still Chugging Along

I had my annual physical the other day. I weighed in at 178. The night I had my weigh in I had parent teacher interviews so I was unable to get away....but since I did have a 'weigh in'....I felt okay about it. Today the plan is 1. get car oil changed, 2. dog park walk, 3. go for a run on the treadmill.

Drum Roll Please

Tonight I had sculpt class (yes, getting back into the swing of things) and it was great. Directly after I had my weigh in - down 3.4lbs - yippee! I accredit this to eating less and laying off salty things....I really do think that I was very high last week (the first time I weighed in in 2 months) because I was just so full of water!

It feels great to be working towards a goal. If I am not working at it....I am gaining it. This is just something I need to understand or life is going to be a ba… Continue

Sorry so slow to get back to you! I always forget to read my wall on BTL! LOL
We enjoyed Jordan's induction ceremony very much...almost got a little teary-eyed! I'm going to be a mess at graduation! Right now her plan is to go to UND (University of ND) in Grand Forks and will be majoring in nursing. I'm so excited for her, but will miss her terribly! But then again there are those days that I want her to be gone now.

I was doing it for a tiny bit- like a two-week period- but now I want to get back to it hard-core and really try my best to run it every day (with leeway for a rest or if something comes up). We'll see. I need to break back into it though. :0)

Susan, I care for you. I think our souls are more alike than we realize. I could see us being best friends if we weren't so far apart....do you have FB? Send me a friend request....maybe we can chat someday soon. Until then, keep your head up. Learn to love. Start by loving the air, the way your feet hit the ground, or a book...and work up to loving yourself inside and out. Become your own best friend.

HEY! How have you been? Sorry I haven't been on BTL as much these days so I am behind on how everyone is doing. Life is just so super busy these days, something about the fall, gotta get everything done possible before winter settles in lol. Did you get snow in S'toon this past week? It has been snowing on and off here for the past few days and we got another little bit this afternoon but the sun is out now and someone said it's supposed to warm up and melt everything in the next week or so. Here's hoping! Hope you had a great long weekend!

I am finding I am enjoying soup more and more these days, and it is a nice alternative to salad, which I always think of a being too cold to eat in winter. Sounds yummy and healthy, would love to hear about your soup recipes.
