WW..My New Chance Adventure!!

well...i'm feeling much better. my throat is still a little sore but feeling "much" better than it has been. i just can't got back to the low-carb/atkins diet. it was the first time i did so well w/ side effects but actually only lost 3 pounds and as soon as i was off.....it came right back on! no surprise. so i sent my 20 year old daughter over to weight watchers to get me some info. on it since its in the same plaza where she works and when she came home...."she had joined"....=)  she is a beautiful young woman (i'll try to post a pic over in the picture area) but i was a very young mother who had to finish high school in my young years and depended on my own mother to care for her while i was earning my diploma. the trade off was my mother filled her bottle w/ chocolate milk and my healthy baby girl bloomed into a beautiful little butter ball... as adorable as she was so chubby and cute it started her weight struggle that still rages on right along w/ mine. i went today and joined weight watchers.... if shes that excited for what she found there then i want to do this w/ her. i did enjoy the meeting...although there scale was 5 pounds more than mine here at home...my daughter also complained about that too...lol  =) anyway, here i go again but at least i'm gonna learn something new and have an abundance in ww info/support and a buddy...my baby girl...=)

Hello!!!

Its so nice to hear you are feeling better!! I too have left the "Atkins" diet alone!! I am too afraid that I will gain all of it and then some back again!! Sooo back to watching calories and eating healthy!! Making better choices and now I am working on the execise thing again! Yuck!! But I am determined to get this weight off and we both know EXERCISE is the key heehee!! I still say YUCK!! I am really glad that you are feeling better!! Its nice to have you back!! lotsa luv 2 ya!!

Yay!

I'm so happy you ditched that Atkins thing--I think WW will work so much better for you and your situation. How awesome is it that you and your daughter can do this together! What a great Mother's Day Present!

By the way, I was reading the most recent issue of Prevention last night and there was a quick article about reducing Type II Diabetes symptoms in three weeks. It said something about eating moderate amounts of protein and a high amount of good carbs with lots of fiber. The results of the study were dramatic. Pick it up if you see it at the check out. I was stunned.

Are you going to reset your weight tracker to match the WW scale?
