Profile Information

About Me:

My husband and I have been together for a total of 11 years and married 9. When I met my husband, I had been out of college for almost a year, and the pounds were adding up. I went from a size 8 to a size 14 and there I stayed until we had our children. We have two beautiful children; Paige is 4 and Cameron is 16 1/2 months old. After Cameron was born I returned to work, but only part time. I have a Master's Degree in Community Counseling and I recently completed a certificate program in School Counseling (I'm not certified yet, still have to take the state tests which I am procrastinating). I work for a local foster care / adoption agency, however, what I do has nothing to do with that. I am a therapist and I work with juvenile sex offenders and victims of sexual abuse.

With both of my pregnancies I gained 70 lbs and was 240lbs. I nursed my daugher for 9 months and she drank the fat away. I lost another 20 lbs after I stopped nursing and I did that by counting calories. That was my first diet.

I started WW June 07 after the birth of my second child. I had already lost about 30 lbs just with giving birth and nursing. After two months of nursing I didn't know how I would lose the weight. As soon as I asked the questions, the answer "Weight Watchers" came out of my mouth. I have lost a total of 103 lbs since my son's birth (30 on my own and 73 on ww). I still have two pounds to go to reach my overall goal. Roni has been a great inspiration to me and I love her recipes. Thanks for all your support!!!

Nothing too exciting.

Hello.

Well nothing really exciting has happened this week. I have to admit, I'm not going crazy with the weight loss. I was weighing myself several times a day and that has stopped. I can't say what happned to get out of that mindset but I just did it. I really have an addictive personality. When I get involved with something, no matter what it is, I get obsessed for awhile, then it dies down. So I haven't been on the scale as much. I went to WW yesterday from my wi. I couldn't stay for the me… Continue

Where have I been?

OMG I cant' believe it's been over a week and a half since I've been on. I'm alive and kicking, just busy and overwhelmed. And as I look back, I have nothing EXCITING to report.

Last Thursday (9/25) I went to ww for a wi and was pleasantly surprised; I lost 1 pound for a total of 106lbs. Friday (9/26) was my bday and it was the worst bday ever!! Work was just horrible and nothing was going right. My dd hurt her foot really bad (while home with the dh - things always happen on his watch!!) and w… Continue

MIA

Ok, I've been MIA, but I have good reasons!! Last Wednesday I went to a confrence at PSU with two co-workers. Overall the confrence itself was ok, nothing new but interesting. Had way too much to drink during a free reception. What can I say, free food and booze is my kind of living!! However, I paid for it over and over. It was nice to have "adult" time. I love my kids, but being away from home was nice!!!

We returned home Friday and I immediately had to clean for my dd's 5th bday party on Sat… Continue

Lazy Saturday!!

Well my WI on Thursday was pretty good. Once I hit my ultimate goal, the following week I put on 2 pounds, which was frustrating. With my grandmother's death and my crazy work schedule I hadn't been back. Well when I went on Thursday, I lost 1.2 pounds and was very happy. Like I said in my previous post, with the funeral and all, I was aware of my food intake but not crazy about it either. So I did good!

I'm still trying to get back in the groove of things after the funeral and with work. The j… Continue
