I'm facing my stuff instead of stuffing my face.....

February 2009

Momentum.... Our new program with Weight Watchers... Does anyone know the definition???
I looked it up in the dictionary.
The noun definition: "an impelling force or strength"
Does that describe you? Does that describe the new program?
I have not been on here nor updated my site since August.... Why you ask???
I did not have the "impelling force to keep trudging on with maintaining my weight"
So here it is, February 2009... I'm back. I truly believe it's HARDER to maintain the loss than it is to lose it.
There might be those that disagree. At least when there is a goal.... you work to achieve it. Once it's achieved, then what???
2008 was a hard year for me.... personally, weight wise. 2009 is my year to get back to my personal goal.
I have hung this saying above my desk, read, re-read it.
Best of luck on your journey... We will get to goal together!
THOUGH NO ONE CAN GO BACK IN TIME TO MAKE A BRAND NEW START.....
ANYONE CAN START FROM NOW TO MAKE A BRAND NEW ENDING.

I will no longer be posting here with my weight loss efforts.... Catch me on Facebook, or myspace!



JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2008

August 4-2008-My site has been a "featured" website for 3 months. WOW-I get over 100 hits daily.
It's been fun, interesting! I enjoy reading my guestbook signatures. Keep on signing!
My son is maintaining his weight loss... He looks absolutely amazing.
August is our month to relax at the coast before getting back into the swing of school.
My motivational quote for August will be:
Put all your excuses aside & remember this:
YOU ARE CAPABLE!!!!-Zig Zagler




OVER 120 Pounds Lost Together...
YOU ARE CAPABLE!!!
SHOOT FOR THE STARS!!

















































APRIL/MAY 2008

No April "Fool" here....
Check out my son below.
To say I'm a proud Mom is an understatement!


Hi Web-Cruisers/Friends....
Lots of NEW stuff on my site. As most of you know, my daughter has joined us again on our weight loss journey.
To date, she has lost 28+ pounds. I added her stats, photos to the site.
I'm still charging on, losing back slowly the weight I gained over the last 3 months.
I've decided I have to be in control of my eating or it CONTROLS me....
Borrowed a saying from a  WW coworker to post this month.....

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.
For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts, & start searching for
different ways or truer answers." M. Scott Peck

My wish for you is to find YOUR true ways/answers to weight loss...
See ya lighter,later!

MAY 2008

My website is featured on Freewebs
I have had "hits" from ALL over the world!!!!!
Thanks for signing my guestbook.... I have deleted a few....
For example-One entry-"Shut your mouth, Move more."
That's great advice...We would NOT be overweight if it was that EASY!
"If you greatly desire something, have the guts to stake everything on obtaining it"....Brendan Francis
Thanks for stopping by this month....

"It's these changes in changes in latitude, changes in attitude

Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running & all of our cunning
If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane."-Jimmy Buffett

I honestly don't know why that song came to mind as I write my monthly entry on my web page.
I'm still struggling. Are you???
I know I'm not giving up.... Along this journey, I reflect back to where I was before I started.
"I'm sure there are those who view my website & say...
" She's awfully proud of herself with all the pictures she posts"
 Honestly-It's a history of my weight loss. It is NOT intended to brag or boast.
By looking at MY weight loss pictures it keeps me in check.
Let's all get re-motivated together.
See ya next month...

February 2008

When I think of February, it brings to mind many things.... Mom's B-Day, Cold weather, Valentine's Day. One month of the New Year has passed.
Where are you on your journey?? Has January been good to you? Have you been good to yourself? If not.... make February the month to love YOURSELF!!! It all has to start from within first & foremost.
I spent an incredible weekend with 7 classmates from high school.It was a time of sharing, food, fun. Yes, I overate! But I've gotten back in gear with maintaining my loss. I still have to remind myself (even at goal) that this is a journey... not a diet.
Make February YOUR month... BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!

Commit to Recommit.....Positive Self-TALKING




Site Update-2/26/08

To say the last two months have been stress free is an understatement. I've been struggling with maintaining my weight loss.
Look at my stats... I GAINED 8.6 Pounds in less than 2 months-UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE!!!.....
 No one to blame but myself for my gain.
When I would have a bad day, I would just write OOC on my tracker... OUT OF CONTROL.
It really hurt to post my weights on this site. But I'm human....
Don't give up on me, keep checking back... I'm facing this battle HEAD ON.
It's not going to kick my Ass... SORRY MOM!
Sign my guestbook. Let's all share our struggles together.

The following pictures were taken over 2 years apart. It took me a little over a year to lose 70+ pounds. I now work as a receptionist for Weight Watchers. It motivates me to maintain my loss by seeing others be successful!!!! Send me a message. Sign my guestbook. Happy Point Counting!
