So after much thought and prayer I decided to join WW on line. Today was my first day and I really like it. I like working the program this way. We'll see how I do this week.

I am just not a big meal eater, and tend to graze. Mostly, I eat very healthfully. The problem is that I do eat quite a bit of sugary and otherwise carb-based foods during my grazing sessions, and I do believe the hormones are a big part of the issues. (That and more recent laziness, I need to shake it, baby!!) Good for you losing that 10 pounds, Carryn! There is now "less of" my beautiful sister in law. :) ...I will have to consult the insurance with Kev, thanks.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998244743602104591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509133874925658631.post-71336083593338044142011-02-02T12:16:33.579-05:002011-02-02T12:16:33.579-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998244743602104591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509133874925658631.post-18673962272229475822011-02-01T19:52:48.239-05:002011-02-01T19:52:48.239-05:00Pilates has been amazing for me and my health issu...Pilates has been amazing for me and my health issues. Something else I tried recently, was meeting with a Dietitian. I LOVE her simple and visual approach. She gave me rubber food samples to hold in the palm of my hand to help me understand what a correct portion is and she had me keep a food diary for one week and was able to tell me where I was missing important items. She also helped me understand how important it is to eat every four hours. The best part of it is that she doesn't consider anything bad for you, instead its about getting the right balance of foods. If you overeat in one area, you need to make up for it in another. And honestly, I find myself feeling really full at the end of the day while having lost 10 pounds in 3 months! My health insurance covers 6 visits with a dietitian...maybe your insurance does too?goldensilhouettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816892271474838233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509133874925658631.post-5191687339520888732011-02-01T18:54:20.440-05:002011-02-01T18:54:20.440-05:00Maryellen, that is so funny becuase I just cancele...Maryellen, that is so funny becuase I just canceled my W.W. membership because it wasn't a good program for me (pus that money can go into the adoption fund now, a great thing!!). I was not good at keeping track of points, and when I did keep track it took me many months to lose 5 pounds on w.w. But, I do know a few ladies who did really, really well on that program, so I belive it does work for some.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998244743602104591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509133874925658631.post-12879895606673061852011-02-01T18:35:37.094-05:002011-02-01T18:35:37.094-05:00You go girl!

For the entire month I dieted and did not miss one day of riding my exercise bike 20 minutes a day which was 6 miles. Not one day, I rode all 31 days. Guess what I lost 2 pounds. 2 WHAT ? I use to sneeze and lose 2 pounds. I was so discouraged that I gave up the fight for some time. But Thursday night I go back and join Weight Watchers. I am going to try a more planned and scheduled approach. So hang in there you are not in this fight alone.Maryellenhttp://maryellen-abundantblessings.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
