HEY- It's April 2007- and I made GOAL

Well, I finally remembered my password to get in here and post a message. It's been awhile.
I am so excited-because I finally made my GOAL weight! Hooray! I lost 70 lbs. YES!!! It's a great feeling- I actually do move better and I feel better everyday. I really like being able to grab my clothes and NOT worry if they will be too tight today! Wearing a size 8 is great. I really did not have to buy alot of clothes while losing the 70 lbs. MY closet was full of size 16, 14, 12, 10 and some 8's were left. About 2 years ago I got rid of most of my size 8 items- I really never thought I would lose enough to ever fit into them again.
LUCKY for me, my daughter is a size 8- so I have lots of resources for clothes. In fact my daughter bought me all my outfits for my Mexico trip and they fit. She is great.
Speaking of Mexico- I will have to re-plan that trip- My passport did not show up in time for Mexico to happen- so that is another story.
So back to Nutrisystem, I can not say enough good things about the NS plan- it worked great for me. I actually changed my eating habits. I am always eating at least 5 times per day now- and it is so much better. NOT overeating is a good feeling- I use to be so hungry when I ate my ONE MEAL per day- I would overeat and be miserable. Yes, I knew it wasn't healthy- but it was easier at the time. Now I know with planning-comes success. Planning my meals, having my NS food available no matter where I am- is the key. It works!
Well enough for now- I hope to post some new pictures soon.
My hard drive crashed- so I lost everything on this computer. I will load a few pictures later.
Thanks for Reading- LIFE IS GOOD.

OK-WHAT'S UP ?? Come ON- LOSE that Last 5 LBS and GET DONE with IT!

OK- I am looking back at all my weight loss and seeing that I WAS 145 at the beginning of DECEMBER 2006- Here it is MARCH 2007 and I am still playing with the same 5 pounds. This is a little more than frustrating- I just do NOT want to go back to my old habits- like starving myself to get a few pounds off. NS has taught me to eat with portion control and eat 5 times per day. I want to continue that. SO I have ordered the 3 day Body Boost Program-it is higher protein foods and lower carbs. Hopefully that will send a message to my body. AND, I know my exercising- has NOT been all that it can be- so I am going to have to bite the bullet and join a gym or fitness center to get me started on a ROUTINE.
I tried to locate the SLIM and TONE fitness centers here in WA state- but only in Spokane and Vancouver, WA- NOT too close to Seattle. And they do not plan on any more in WA at this time. SO- I am thinking about LA Fitness or CURVES- only because I see their signs while driving. I am open to suggestions though---write me. Thanks for reading.
SO, still no new/recent pictures- thought I had some of me on my Birthday in January- but they turned out to be all pics of my Grandsons. I'll ask someone to take some of me this week. HEY, 145 lbs is almost to GOAL- I probably won't look much different at 140 lbs anyway.

The Holidays are Over

I had a GREAT Holiday. It was wonderful being off work for awhile. I visited my Family in Ohio. Even the weather was great. Unseasonably warm for Ohio. I did not eat NS 100%- but I ate 5 times per day and small portions. Thanks NS for training me on portion control and NOT to eat once or twice per day or large meals. I actually lost 1 pound. I am still working toward my GOAL. The last few pounds have been extremely slow- BUT I refuse to get discouraged. NS has been wonderful for me. I am very pleased with my results- Nothing has ever been easy when it comes to losing weight- But "NS" is the way to go. Anyone needing to lose weight- should give NS a try. It's the easiest way I have ever found to take off the weight.
HEY, I actually watched my first NS commercial in December. I normally do not watch TV- so I do not see commercials. At my parents home- the TV was on alot. Late night- there it was- all the people I have seen on the web site and in the brochures. All looking good- telling their stories. It was nice to see and hear them. Congratulations to all who have lost with NS.
WELL- I hope to conclude my weight loss journey in January- I hope to reach my Goal and start maintenance. I am recording everything I eat in my journal again and drinking the water- lets see what January brings. Good Luck to ME !!
