Christine is On Her Way

Went to WW last nite - what a horrible experience getting on that scale - not that I haven't been on a scale in awhile but to see someone write that number down was a real eye opener....so.....here I go - I am getting healthy - not just body but mind as well....I think alot of what I am struggling with lately is directly connected to how I feel about myself....

So, I am going to give the CORE plan a whirl this time - it is expanded and I think will fit me better since I don't have to write EVERYTHING down.....anyone with experience with the CORE plan or who has any good recipes, etc. let me know...I need some ideas apart from the basics....

So today so far - I was up at 6:00 AM took a 45 minute 2 1/2 mile walk - am having a one egg and two egg white omelet with brocoli and FF cheese.....I will check in again - so glad this is here - it will give me a great place to journal and get more support

good luck!!!! stick with it, and you could be suprised

best wishes

Weighing in this am - usually would on Tues nites but DH had to go to a coaches clinic - he is coaching Olivia's soccer team this summer....anyway so off this am - I am pretty confident - did really well with the exception of Olivia's birthday party but even then I didn't go TOO overboard - but did have cake I have come to realize in dieting though you have to let things slide from time to time (time to time being key) and then get back on the good foot the next day....otherwise I tend to resent it...

I also did very well walking the past week - got out 4 times which for me is GREAT...

Will check in after weigh in hoping to start a ticker.................

Go, Christine, go. I hope you're a big loser.

Congrats on joining WW again, I truely know how hard that first step is. I am following CORE but don't do much in the way of cooking from recipes so I am not much help there, but I do know if you go to the WW website either the Canadian one or the American one there is a message board dedicated to CORE followers and they are a great help. If you have any questions let me know, I am only doing CORE and would never go back to Flex if you paid me. LOL

PS good luck a WI

AHHHHHH- Sweet Success - 3.5 lbs down....

Of course about 50 more to go but hey its a start in the right direction

I am officially putting my weight loss ticker on!!!!

Congrats, that is one awesome loss. Keep up the great work, I find CORE so much easier and less stressfull.

congrats you loser, keep it up

I actually went back to Flex - I need to be able to have the variety and I find I don't use those 35 pts with the Flex - I was afraid to get some variety (for me anyway) that I would always use those 35....

So its working and I am sticking with it

Oh well that is okay, everyone needs to do the program that suits them best. Whichever you chose you can't go wrong with WW as it is all about lifestyle changes and not dieting.

Having a BAD BAD BAD week - not really overeating at all but not eating the right stuff when I do eat - it was Olivia's birthday and we had THREE count then THREE cakes - now I didn't have the giant size pieces I usually did but I couldn't resist.....guess I have to face the music....so not looking forward to it though...back on the good foot though - I am determined and not going to give up just because I had a bad week - in the past I just gave up.....

how is it going? did you get back on track?

Not really - it was a rough couple of weeks - Olivia turned 5 and we had like THREE parties for her - family, the day of her bday and then the kid party - didn't do too bad overall but not good either - then last week I was on vacation and we also moved my Gram back from AZ to assisted living here in NY - it went very well but was kinda stressful - life just seems to keep getting in the way - I never even made it to a weigh in last week so I will face the music this week and am back on the good foot - I am not givng up which is huge for me in the past at this point I would have given up so that is a good thing I guess.....

Keep it up girl, you can do it!

It's official - I have switched to LA Weight Loss - the WW just wasn't working for me for some reason I have tried it soo many times in the past 4-5 years that I think I was bored of it and of course just didn't make the committment I should have to it - so I have laid out my money for LA Weight Loss with lots of encouragement from Kelly - it is expensive but is going to be the extra motivation I need right now - I am soo excited to get skinny again! I have pulled my next size down shorts and summer shirts as more motivation!!! So I started the Fast Forward part for today and tomorrow - and am on my way

Good luck! I hope this plan works better for you!

Good for you, Christine. I hope it works out as well for you as it has for me. That initial outlay of money really does give you a kick in the rear.

Good luck to you ! I know how hard it is to find the motivation,,,,,,,,,,,but yoiu found it so good for you

How does that saying go ? 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.' Something like that.

Thanks girls - I will posting here ALOT more This on top of the support from LA will keep me going!!

I go for my WI today after the Fast Forward phase - will post my results tonite - I pretty much followed it to the T so I am hoping for some good results!!!!

So excited for this - am sure there will be days but have not felt this motivated in a looooong time

I hope you see some results also but I'm sure you will
that you didnt give up

bumping for an update. Hope your weigh in went well !

Well I didn't lose on Monday after two days of the Fast Forward but went in today to weigh in and I AM A LOSER 1.8 lbs GONE........3.4 more and I am below 200

Yeah!!! I am so proud of you, Christine. Great job. Keep it up, next week will be even better.

Thank you - the motivation keeps coming when you see results
