Weight Watchers

Every 6 months this body of mine seems to gain another 5.lbs. I've been battling with my weight now for about 5 years and I'm so sick of it. Three weeks ago I started taking serious steps to fix this. First by going for a check up and blood work to make sure things are normal, then I joined weight watchers and the gym. I really do feel better-the burden of sadness has lifted and I feel like Im finally doing all I can be doing to help myself now. My drive to suceed is great! I haven't felt this determined in over a year.

With the help of WW, I am learning to portion my food, and what good foods I should be eating. They make it so easy with the points plus system. I find myself still able to enjoy the foods I like without feeling guilty. And each week I lose more weight. My"peace"of mind comes from going to the gym 5 days a week for an hour at a time. I simply get my heart pumping on the treadmill. At this time I feel good walking at a steady pace for 3 miles a day. Which is doing my tummy and waist line wonders. I can feel and see a difference, and I plan to maintain it. Yay me! If things go well, I'm thinking by December I should be in my weight goal range.
