well, i havent written in a while....but weight watchers has been going great for me! So far i've lost 9.2 pounds and i'm at the lowest weight i've been in a long time. It's comming off slow, but it all adds up in the end so i'm excited.....20 more to go!

What is your favorite diet snack?

My current fave happens to be Fiber One Bars - the oat and chocolate. They are so good and loaded in fiber! I also like red grapes and if I'm short on time in the morning I eat a Vita Muffin (chocolate of course!)

I met my goal weight today!!

I'm so excited. I've been going to Weight Watchers since April. I had lost nearly all of the weight I wanted to, but haven't been to a meeting in about a month. Well, I weighed myself at home and knew I was close to my goal weight - but my scale at home is always a pound or so more than the one at WW. Today I went to my meeting and weighed in and to my surprise I had done it! It was a wonderful meeting. I received congratulations from everyone there and they gave me a cute little star pendant to go on my locket keychain that was given to me when I lost 10% of my weight. They gave me a booklet on "maintenance" and that is supposed to teach me how to eat healthy and maintain my weight so that I don't keep losing.
I just want to say good luck to anyone in any program you are doing. It is hard but well worth it when you reach your goal.

Poll: Are you losing weight for the sake of health or beauty?

I always like to say that i'm losing weight to be healthy...but i cant kid myself, the idea of my collar bones showing is the best!

so whats your reasons?

well i didnt get a chance to weigh in today...im not completly heart-broken, i think i gained....but for now i'll just keep thinking that i am still down 6.2

and i figured i might as well try to make myself feel better by taking a body shot

the first picture is of me about 2 months ago, and the second is from today (pre-Bruce Springsteen concert!) I really dont even know if there is a difference.....mabye its just my imagination

Ugh...

I need help finding a good pilates DVD

bluesuze — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 07:50:35 -0700

Hello, I am wondering if anyone can suggest a good pilates DVD. I am pretty athletic, but am new to pilates. I've lost alot of weight after having my baby in February and I basically want to target all my flabby areas - abs,thighs,butt and tone up my arms. I looked on Amazon, but there are so many DVD's out there and so many opinions! I couldn't make a choice. My library has a Denise Austin one, I think it's called zone pilates or something like that that I might check out. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

Weekly weigh in!
