jenniferjill

NAME: Jennifer

AGE: 61

CITY/STATE: Idaho

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ON WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY: 20 years off and on but recently since 11/09

HIGHEST WEIGHT EVER: 210

LOWEST WEIGHT EVER SINCE STARTING WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY: 176

CURRENT WEIGHT (STARTING WEIGHT FOR THIS CHALLENGE): 177

GOAL WEIGHT BY END OF THIS SEASON FINALE (NOT SURE WHEN THE FINALE IS...GUESSING END OF YEAR?): 150

NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR THIS CHALLENGE: Weight Watchers but with no obvious sugar, bread, processed foods, high protein.

EXERCISE PROGRAM FOR THIS CHALLENGE: 30 minutes of step aerobics daily

My Weight Watchers goal weight is 150, however my personal goal weight is anywhere in the 130's. By the end of the year I will be at WW goal weight and 6 weeks after that, I will have achieved lifetime status and be able to attend meetings for free as long as I'm within 2 pounds of 150. Until recently, I have not been even remotely serious about losing the weight but I'm doing it this time. I'm invested in an exercise program and healthy eating. I have to treat sugar, bread, starchy vegetables and process food as if I were addicted to them and refrain completely. I cannot eat just a little. Between exercise and my newly adopted eating habits I've lost 12 pounds, I'm feeling stronger, my mind is sharper and I feel really good. I am no longer looking for ways to avoid exercise but I'm finding ways to fit it in. It's working for me and I challenge the rest of this group to take the power back in your lives and achieve the goals you set for yourself. Good luck and good health to all.
