Just a quickie check-in for now...things are busy, which makes me realize that the way I'm doing this is the right way for me. Before, when things got busy, I'd not find the time to journal & "do things right" & would just kind of shut down. It all was such a crutch... my life revolved around my weight-loss. Now I don't think twice about just grabbing something healthy. It might not be completely

Another week has passed easily... I can't tell you how pleased I am w/ my decision of just doing this on my own. It's definitely nice to have a support system like WW or whatever, but this is really working nicely for me. The fact that I'm not obsessing over every little aspect of a plan is fabulous... I'm able to continue to live my life & do my thing & it's going really well! I weighed myself

Another 2 lbs bites the dust. :o) Yay me! 10 lbs in 3 weeks.

I mentioned in the post IT'S ALL ABOUT ME that "I FEEL like an old lady, which is probably why the thought came to me... but I FEEL this weight. I can't bend w/out it affecting my breathing... I hurt... every joint hurts. My neck & shoulders hurt... I don't know what it is, but I am imagining that my body is going through GROWING PAINS, as I'm delving into a new body size... I'm widening &

Doing good... lost another 2 lbs this week, yay!! 274 lbs. That's 8 lbs total. I'm back under what used to be my highest! Things are going well... I think the concept that I'm working w/... not overdoing it, becoming obsessive about weighing food, journaling, etc., was a really good call. I know all there is to know about losing weight... I know serving sizes & have no problem keeping that under

Still doing okay. Making sure to have plenty of healthy choices on hand sure helps! I made some tuna salad today like I would chicken salad... a little bit of mayo w/ some green onion, Craisins & slivered almonds... spread it on some Nabisco Tuscan Herb Flatbread crackers...............SO GOOD!!! The herbs in the crackers just completely made the tuna. Yum. Here's a picture of what I've been up

A full week has gone by... it was a good one. I felt in control... it's been a long long time since I could say that. It feels good. I'm not so sure I can say that I'm feeling completely confident, but I truly GET what I've done to myself & am ticked off & freaked out enough that I think this is the IT that I've been waiting for. No more waiting... only DOING now.  I stepped on the scale this

Good morning, Sunday. Blue skies, sunny, eleven degrees below zero... lovely. :o) Having a great week... making sure to have plenty of healthy selections @ home helps ALOT. I'm feeling positive about the food end of things. ....but, I kinda lost it the other morning when I was talking to my hubby in bed... realizing that I KNOW I don't LOOK like I think I do... I can't imagine what he sees when

So far so good. It's been easy to just get back to basics this week... makes me remember how easy eating healthy really is if you JUST DO IT. Good food...healthy food. ....& because I'm not journaling, I'm not obsessing. It's weird. I know what a serving is... I AM measuring every once in a while just to make sure I'm right there, but unlike before, where I measured or weighed absolutely

I didn't mention that the seatbelt in my sweet PT Cruiser that we bought for me in 2005 when I was @ my lightest is pulled as tight as it's going to get. I've already moved my seat back several times to give me more seatbelt room, but if I go back any further I won't be able to safely reach the pedals!! It really sucks. I'm completely pinned to my seat. I REFUSE to buy a seatbelt extender...

Here I am again... months & months have gone by since I last posted. I pretty much decided to stop blogging, but just decided to start posting again, but this time it's just for ME, not because I think that there are others out there waiting for me to update or whatever, but because I just need to reconnect w/ myself & will use this blog as a journal. Reality hit me in the face this morning when

Yeah, disappeared...not surprised. I've obviously prioritized myself out of my life. My scale says I'm 270 lbs....twohundredfreakinseventypounds. It's hard to see it written down. Making me cry as I write this. I'm 5 lbs from my highest... the way things are going I'm going to surpass it if I don't stop this NOW! I'm obviously dealing w/ some depression...nobody in their right mind would do

Yep, disappeared again.That part of me that's supposed to care about ME & my weight doesn't care about blogging, either, I suppose.I have really got to get it back together...not quite sure what it's going to take to make me do that, though. I said (maybe to myself) a while ago that maybe I was going to have to get back to that desperation mode in order for it to REALLY kick in what I've done to

I stepped on my scale this morning after a really good weekend & it showed a TWENTY-FIVE POUND LOSS!!! Can you believe that?? Absolute miracle!! I even let it go back to zero & stepped back up twice just to verify... sure enough, 25 lbs. WOW! Of course I knew that was a bunch of BS, this isn't THE BIGGEST LOSER & I haven't even started exercising yet, so I picked up the scale, brushed the

Feeling good. Just making basic positive movements... filled the kitchen w/ healthy foods... & am basically just trying to work on that positive attitude that came so easily way back when. I know it makes all of the difference in the world.

Geez... where to start?Yes, I disappeared, again... life is nuts & I obviously have no time for blogging... but it would be nice for even me if I took it up again. I need to talk through things, I think.I stepped on the scale yesterday... I'm a little surprised...not by the weight, because I got this scale a few months ago, but surprised after I checked to see where I was in November last year

I'm outrageously busy right now... still being pretty good, but not having all the time in the world to THJ, so I missed a few days over the weekend & am back to THJ day 3. Gotta start back @ 1 if I miss a day. I need to make a goal of 30 days straight of THJ. I had a good week... not being absolutely as careful as I was last week. I mean not writing things down instantly & having to think the

Here you go... two more THJ days... it's been good, easy. I've always known it was easy, if I just did it. What makes us choose not to do what we know is the right thing? Maybe we feel we deserve the junk... does it really make us feel better? Not really...I don't think these last few years have been about eating junk to feel better... well, not always, but more about just choosing not to choose.

Good day today... Getting ready for my first "home show" next Friday, so I'm a busy, busy, busy girl... not alot of time to think about eating, but I'm doing it. Luckily I have some good/healthy soups on hand, which I love as it's getting colder... & I grabbed an apple for my "after torching snack". BTW... we had our first snow today. Ugh. I'm not ready for winter! :o) Till next time...~ Julie

I'm going to be THJing again (Totally Honest Journaling)... it's what works for me... time to get those good habits again. I had a good day today... no activity, unless you call sitting @ a torch all day activity, LOL, but I ate well & stayed away from the kids' Halloween candy (what's left of it, anyway). Don't know if I'll post my daily THJ basic stats here... that's kinda boring. As long as

I didn't mention that last week I had finally decided to quit paying monthly for meetings & eTools since I hadn't been using them. I went out to the WW website & actually found the "Cancel account" button..... but I hesitated, got a little sad & then decided that I wasn't ready to quit. I knew I wanted to do something...

If you've read through my other posts, you'll see I've not had any steady losses since the fall of 2004... almost 3 1/3 years of a whole lot of nothing.I'm good, I'm bad, I'm inconsistent.The positive thing about most of that time is that I had been able to at least keep most of that weight I already lost off.That was until my focus was redirected to glass, big time!

I usually go Saturday mornings where my favorite leader, Michelle, is...I just love her. I've formed a really nice relationship w/ her, it's nice to have her there each week (or so).The girls who work in the front reception area are FABULOUS! Pam, Tammy & Marie.

Thought I would give you guys a current picture of me & my family. This was taken in September 2007. As you can see, the kids have gotten HUGE, Sam is going to be THIRTEEN on Wednesday. Yikes!! As you can also see, I haven't gotten huge. :o) I definitely have a ways to go & I'm still up from my lowest... more than I wish I was, but I haven't gained it ALL back (& then some, as we tend to do).

Yes, it's a new year... just like everyone else, this feels like a really good time to start fresh & get things moving again. I'm sure it looks like I dropped off the face of the earth w/ this blog... but in reality, the blog entries that are dated before this one have been transferred from my REMODELING.ME website & I'm planning on filling in the blanks as I can. I just figured this was a much

Wheels are just turning wildly in my head today. I was in my aqua class this morning & I couldn’t stop thinking about this. I was thinking about how I would love to find a person or two that could use someone to help pull them up NOW & start walking w/ them, maybe introduce them to water walking & simple water exercises…it’s so good for your joints & so do-able at any size, even for the extremely

I'm thinking of a space...Something BEYOND Weight WatchersI’m thinking…I WANT TO DO MORE…(I wrote THIS paragraph almost 3 years ago & this still exists in my head)I want to be able to personally touch people as individuals. I’m trying to work out the whats, wheres, hows, whys…but I know that I’m going to do SOMETHING. I’ve been told so many times that I was going to do something great w/ my life…

When I started this journey in January 2003, I had 125 lbs to lose. At times I can’t help but think that if I had kept it together all along I would be @ goal aready. But then I realize that until THIS journey, I never believed I could stick w/ it for more than a few months. (as my previous “normal” M.O.) I was reading some of my archived journal entries & RAMBLINGS here last night & came across

Keep losing weight till I reach goal weight Another week of THJ, being completely sugar-free & getting in some APs (16)... I find myself another 1.8 lbs lighter! That puts me back under 200 (again), at 198.2 lbs to be exact…plan on staying there this time!! :o) That’s 8.8 lbs in 3 weeks… undoing the 8.2 lbs I gained over the 6 previous weeks! :o) Looking @ my weight chart of this long journey of

I can see this is somewhat of a repeat from a few journal entries ago, this was part of my introduction to the group of people w/ the same goal. I think I go into a little more detail than I did a few journal entries ago. Well… first of all, you have to realize that I’ve been doing WW for over 3 1/2 years now. I love it… it’s so simple. Eat whatever if you can fit it into your points, right? But

2 birthdays, lots of cake, more sugar, lots of cravings, no journaling, skipped meetings, zero activity, etc... perfect recipe for disaster, don't you think?? What a surprise, gained 8 lbs. 1 week later: 100% THJ (Totally Honest Journaling), no sugar, all of the basics (water, fruits & veggies, dairy, oil, etc)... I lost 4.6 lbs!! Yeah! Back down to 202.4 lbs. I swear, every time I go sugar-free

My weigh-in on Saturday got me to my most current birthday goal... to be back in ONDERLAND! Down 1.2 lbs to 199.6 lbs!! My original birthday goal, to get to goal by my 40th, was obviously not going to happen w/ the continual struggle I've been doing up to a few months ago... I'm just thrilled to have made this progress & to be back on track after such a long struggle. I originally reached

I had another fabulous week! THJing is definitely helping, no doubt...but I think that going SUGAR-FREE, though, has been key in why it's going so well. Cravings for sweets & other carbs are gone!! Yeah, I think about them some... but there is no serious "draw" to them... they don't call to me like they usually do. I can usually take care of it w/ some fruit.

Hey guys... yeah, I'm still here... still hanging in there! Life has been completely nuts the last several months... I hate to say it, but keeping the website up to date has been at the bottom of my list. Someone eMailed me the other day (thank you) & said she was just checking up on me, noticed that I hadn't updated my site in a while & just wanted to make sure that I was okay & to not give up.

This was what my Mom used to sing to me when she was trying to drag me out of bed in the morning for school. :o) (I'm trying to think of what the tune is...it was either that one or Good Morning to youGood Morning to you... to the tune of Happy Birthday) Once I was in high school, it became wet wash cloths thrown @ me!

2 o'clock in the morning...UGH.3 years.A year ago I never thought I'd be sitting here a full year later not only having NOT reached goal (still), but having taken many large steps backwards rather than any positive movement forward.I'm really frustrated right now. Can you tell?Geez...I feel like I've lost it.Just give me a minute to get this frustration out .......................ARG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay... after facing the "metal" monster this morning, I now get to deal w/ the fact that I gained FOURTEEN pounds in 4 weeks. I've been out of control... busy, tired, not really giving a crap about what I should or shouldn't put in my mouth... enjoying every minute of it, except for the fact that I knew what kind of damage I was doing, but also knew it was just for a while, that I'd be back on

Back under 200... took me around 12 years the first time, only 5 1/2 months this time! :o) Although I was expecting more, as stated before, 2 pounds is pretty incredible for me! The last time I lost 2 pounds was in MARCH... the last time I lost 2 weeks in a row was July... before that was March... feel like I'm on a roll here!! :o) How'z everyone else doing??? Julie

Didn't WI today (although I had a FANTASTIC week!)... too many factors that would influence the scale, so I decided to just pass this week... might possibly do the same next week... give me a few weeks to build up to a GREAT WI!

w/ the scale for the last 9 months or so, right?? Well...after several tough weeks (after that major binge), I weighed in this morning w/ just a .6 lb gain (6/10ths)... I was thrilled! I told the weigher that I totally was expecting to see a 5 or 6 lb gain! I realized afterwards that even though I FELT like I had some rough times, I wasn't being as bad as I thought I was. I think that I feel like

Seems like a good day for a CONFESSION!! I'm going to fess up to something that lately I would've kept to myself... Okay... you know all about this stupid "dance" I've been doing w/ the scale the past 9 months or so... good weeks followed by not so good weeks. Up till a few months ago I was feeling like I was doing a fairly good job @ early maintenance... one pound up, two pounds down, four

This was after 8 wonderful days in Seattle w/ Brad... lots of wonderful, fresh foods... fish, nice cuts of beef, veggies... maybe just a few too many desserts! So...I walked out of this meeting 3.3 lbs above 199... told my leader & the receptionists that I was giving myself two weeks to get back under 200... that I was tired of playing games... check out my journal entry to see what happened

I'd like to know that as well! I hate to go to those weight loss websites that have either been abandoned months or years ago... or that are so miserable to read because the person is dark & depressed... failing miserably. Well... I don't want have either kind of website. I want to continue to be an inspiration to those who somehow stumble across my site or have just come back to see how I'm

Had a great week! Back in ONDERLAND again...whew!!! I think I REALLY needed last week's reality... really. I've spent the week thinking about what I want & how I'm going to get there & I'm ready to get serious again. Starting by journaling EVERYTHING again... it's what works. It'll be nice to move forward again! Kick my butt if I start this little dance again, will you?? :o) Weeks OP: 108

I'm back in TWOTERVILLE!!! Yeah me! NOT!! Obviously it wasn't a desired goal of mine, but the fact that I've been going through one of those MINDLESS phases lately (letting life get in the way) I was completely expecting to see 200 on the scale at my Saturday WI & I didn't let myself down!! (of course I wore JEANS & had Chinese the night before, which never helps, but I didn't care) So... not

Been a few weeks since I had a WI... actually, it's been a few ROUGH weeks since I had a WI! :o) We're FINALLY past the holidays & birthdays... got the crap out of the house & am working on getting that fire lit under me again! Was fully expecting a gain, but obviously I'm not being THAT bad, just not as GOOD as I'd like to be! :o) I had a great week leading up to this WI & am feeling that old

I mean, last year I had SO MUCH success as far as weight loss goes... I had lost 65 lbs & I was sooooooo motivated & so religiously

I'm up AGAIN this week... continuing to do "the dance" w/ the scale, but I've been fully back on track the last few weeks & that feels really great!!

& firmly back on my feet after the last few months of stumbling & flailing about. I've gotten back to journaling religiously, I know that's what works & I've proven it to myself AGAIN!! :o) I also decided to go back to FlexPoints this past week. I might regress even further back & start doing Winning Points again. I LOVED CORE... really truly loved being directed towards this healthy & fulfilling

I've been busy, tired, absent & out of control for the last 2 weeks. I don't exactly know why, I think I needed a little break from 100% consciousness & I did just that... I shut down. No journaling...No exercise...No giving a rip...Nothing. It worked... I gained SIX POUNDS over the last 2 weeks... PLUS 2 weeks before, for my 2nd CORE WI, I had a gain of 1.6 lbs... totally unexpected! So I'm
