112lb Anniversary!

I just have to share it's been officially a year since I actively started loosing weight and I've lost a total of 112lbs.  Although, I still have knee problems and some other health issues I can actually walk around the block and I feel so much healthier!  I've learned that when I get off track its not the end and I know how to get back on track.  I follow Weight Watcher's program on my own, and I truly believe it's the most healthful diet that can be incorporated into your everyday life.  I highly recommend their restaurant guide especially.  What made the difference for me was not looking at this is a diet, but that I wanted to get healthy.  Not only loosing weight but also eating healthier learning to make better choices.  Yes, there are times when I splurge, but I know especially after going through the holidays that I can get right back on track.
Because I changed the way I eat I have gotten my family to actually like some of the changes such as eating whole grain pastas and brown rice they actually prefer it now.

I haven't eaten fast food since March of last year and that was Taco bell...I can't remember the last time I had a hamburger or Chinese food.  Not that I can't have it if I want to, but after reading the Eat this Not That books and actually seeing how much fat, calories and sodium that's in certain foods I just can't bring myself to do it. I do subsume to the occasional Mexican food (my favorite) meal. 

Another nice benefit is that I don't mind 
so much having my picture taken

76lbs and Counting!

Happy Fall!

I'm thrilled to share that as of this morning 
I've lost a total of 76lbs since January. I was 
stuck on a plataue for awhile but I finally broke it. 
I still have a lot more to go and sometimes 
it seems surreal when I think about how 
much I've lost.  


I've been following Weight Watchers.  I'm  
asked sometimes if its hard and about 90% 
of the time it isn't. WW for me is easy to 
follow.  I do have times where it's hard,
but when I started this it was more then 
just to loose weight it was to also eat 
 healthier and I am definitely doing that.
There are times I get weak and want to 
just splurge on what ever, but I have a 
really hard time doing that if I am able to 
read the  package and can visually see how 
many fat grams, sodium and calories 
something has in it and that pulls me back 
from the edge! 

When I'm needing to splurge I treat myself to a 
McDonald's frosty its only 2 points though maybe 
not the healthiest, I can think of worse things 
to eat.  To me its like eating clouds, 
76I love them! LOL
