"Weighty Issues"

During discussions here, I've met a lot of people who seem to have added a few pounds here and there. Of course, this is an epidemic. We all, at one time or another, have some extra weight that suddenly appears out of nowhere! That darn dryer is shrinking clothes again! One too many glasses of wine or a pint over the limit. Extra slice of Chicago style pizza anyone? GUILTY! I lost 80 pounds through sheer will and determination. I love to cook, I love to eat, I love food and family dinners, BBQs... you get the picture. I want this group to talk about it. Share your frustrations, gain ideas from others (not lbs), get healthy recipes, new ideas for work outs, anything that is a "Weighty Issue" for you. Please help me. I continuously need the motivation and inspiration to stay healthy. I know there are others out there too.

Congrats everyone and keep up the good work! Baby and myself are doing great. At this point, the DR is concerned that I am not gaining weight, although 5 weeks ago baby was in the 70th percentile. Aparantly, he is taking everything right now! :) Will update everyone next week. Another ultrasound to see how big he is now!

Did my weigh in at Curves yesterday. Missed it on the 4th due to Breast Surgery. Lost another 2 pounds WOO HOO! I am liking this more and more. Can get back to it next week after this little set back. I am ready. Labs came back everything benign. So grateful.

I was able to begin back to Curves Gym today 2 times a week on all machines except one. I have lost 4 1/2 pounds and 4 3/4 inches. I am so encouraged considering the accident and all. I had no idea. Been doing that tread mill and up to 150 crunches at the chiro's office. Now Curves 2 times a week and Chiro 2 times a week. Climbing all those stairs in Berea, KY has paid off.

My lovely mother joined WW! I am so very excited for her. It's been 3 weeks and she has totaled 8 lbs lost. She's walking and eating better, and portion control using the "points" system. The fire has been lit and there's no stopping her. Our joke at the moment is that it's falling off of her and latching on to me. :) 4 more months...

Wonderful news Marissa. Have you picked a name for him yet?

I am doing okay. Back to work tomorrow on a restreicted basis only allowed to do 2 massages in a day and see how my neck tollerates that amount of time.

That is great news Marissa. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Spring it has been a great one for me. I had a small lapse with my smoking but I stopped again and knock on wood so far with trying to stop smoking I am not gaining the weight back that I have lost like in the past which is a big relieve because instead I have lost a little more. So good luck to all and to all a great health life
