Always Struggling - Determined This Time!

Hi all,

I'm back on track this week with my tracking. I'm someone who has been a Weight Watchers fan for years, and lost 20 lbs on the program last year. I gained it all back, and then some, over the holidays when I gave myself permission to "enjoy." Big mistake. I thought I could handle it but as soon as I went off track I couldn't get back ON. I joined WW again but just couldn't get into the points, etc. and my dad recommended this site.
My stepfather passed away suddenly a couple weeks ago and as a stress eater things got out of control. I hopped on the scale a few days ago and was horrified. I am more determined than every to do this and make it work!
My exercise of choice is Zumba - on my Wii :) I'm a little to self conscious to take a class still but I'm kicking butt on the Wii right now. I love to dance and don't feel like I'm exercising doing it.
I'm pondering starting Shakeology as I have heard amazing things about it but am not sure yet that it's right for me.
And that's me in a nutshell. Fingers crossed I can stick with it this time.

    I love Zumba, I can't so some of the things they do, my body don't work like some (maybe I'm to shy to shake like that in front of others) but I keep moving...still can't do the whole hour but made it up to 35 min yesterday...I'm moving up. Keep up the good work
