Kristin's Weightloss Journey

*2008 UPDATE*

 

well, here we are in january of 2008.  2007 was a tumultuous year, for sure.  lots of stress and craziness in my world.  i was doing pretty well on the WW program, bouncing back and forth between the 180s and sometimes the 170s from january thru september.  i allowed school, work, travel, and life to get in the way and i did not dedicate myself to the program 100%...and in october i kind of stopped caring altogether.  who wants to cook OP and exercise and go to meetings when they're so busy with school and work that they don't have time to sleep?  not THIS girl!  between halloween and the day after christmas i effectively gained 15 whole pounds from my lowest weight.  shit happens, eh?  man, that weight creeps back on fast when you go back to your old ways. 

luckily, i was a very good girl this year, so santa claus (and my most generous parents) brought me a personal trainer for christmas.  i am back to my normal meeting time and my routine at work has calmed down.  classes are starting, but i am in a much better mindset and ready to tackle this with a new attitude and spirit.  in fact, at my first weigh in of the year i lost 3.4 lbs!  its a start, and i'll DEFINITELY take it.

hello, and welcome to my WW webpage.  my name is kristin and i'm 27.  after checking out hundreds of people's pages on the WW boards, I've finally decided to create my own little corner of cyberspace.  since i'm not all that "technologically inclined", i hope you'll bear with me through my first website--i have no doubt that i'll improve w/time, but please be patient w/me.

i have been on (and sometimes tragically OFF) program since 2005.  like everyone else, i've had my good days and bad days on program, and i am committed to ww for the rest of my days.  i think its truly a phenomenal program!!! i'm hoping that slow and steady wins the race and i know that eventually i will get to my goal weight...hopefully it will be sometime before i die!!!

here's a pic from christmas 2004...compare with above pic (down 55 lbs) if this isn't proof that WW works, i don't know what is!!!!

christmas 2006 pic...i am about 5# less than my pic last year...did a lot of dicking around and maintaining the program in 2006.  i guess its good that i didn't pack on the pounds, like in years past...
