Hello,
I had planned on sharing more of this as I went but, honestly, I haven't lost much this year to speak of! Last year I lost about 30 pounds. The beginning of this year it was impossible to follow my Weight Watchers due to some personal family problems and being on the go consistently. I have put into practice, now, some things that would have helped me back then, like being more prepared with meals. I am much more organized now. This year I started my WW again in April, have lost a little weight, and right now am struggling with 5 lbs., losing, gaining it back, etc. I don't blame anyone but myself for that... I think last week I lost it again (the 5 lbs), and I am not putting it back this week! It's really just a matter of sticking to my program. WW works, but when you do good at the beginning of the week and blow it on the weekend... it doesn't work! I think I'm over 40 lbs. less and getting closer to 50. While I totally regret that I haven't lost more, because I could have, I cannot focus on that, or I won't be motivated to move forward.
Here are a few good things that have happened since this journey:
1) I think I am over 40 lbs, maybe close to 50 lbs lost (I haven't weighed in a while)
2) I am off of my blood pressure meds!!!! YEAH!
3) I have learned so much about healthy eating, and so many things that I even thought were healthy, I have learned actually are not.
4) Instead of just walking, I jog at times!
5) I have started creating my own recipes for healthy eating!!! I am recently, truly enjoying cooking and being prepared. This will help me in my upcoming weight loss!
So, even though I haven't lost near what I should, I have to be happy about my accomplishments. This just reminds me to stick to my WW more because I could have been so much further. You won't be getting a post like this in a few months saying I regret... You will be getting a "Look how much I've lost now post"!!!!! I know I can do this, I know I will... Just taking me a lot longer than I planned. It's really been a life changing journey, not just a weight loss journey.
Thank you to everyone for your support... Sorry I don't have better news... But I will!

I’m sorry to hear that your routine was put aside. But the beauty of weight loss is that you have no deadline. As long as you are consistent with your routine, you can see results. Speaking of results, I’m amazed at what you accomplished! Just keep the pace going, Kerrie. I’m sure you’ll achieve more positive results!
