update on Michelle

Well after a few months of just lurking, trying to keep up with all
that has been happening congrats to everone that has lost and a big
don't give up to those who it didn't go as planned.

For me I have obviously been doing loads of skiing over 40 days this
season. Skiing is my passion, normally associated with serious weight
gain too, because of the apres ski and huge appetite. This year has
been a first. I actually managed to lose 1.2 kg ( 2.5 lbs). I did make
some good choices and got back on plan quickly after the holidays.
This is a toughy for me as my stomach adjusts to the bigger portions
and doesn't want to shrink back quickly. This year I solved the
problem by allowing my self larger portions of fruits and veg with
each meal plus 2 snacks. I have tried to keep my carb and protein
portions normal though.

I am now just 1.2kg from my weight watchers goal of 61kg so I will try
acheive this in the next 2 weeks. So I should be at goal for Easter,
boy what a weird feeling that will be after trying to lose weight
since 8th of May 1999. My personal goal is to get to 58 or 59 kg to
allow a bit of a buffer. My plan, continue what I have done so far,
regular exercise and sensible choices, not beat myself up if I make a
mistake just dust off and start again.

This is great news, Michelle. It just proves that being on vacation
doesn't have to ruin our woe. It sounds like you've been having a great
time with all the skiing this year.

I envy you getting to do all of that skiing It's good that you've been
able to make positive changes since that's really important to the whole
maintenance thing. I've been thinking a lot the last two days about how bad
my situation would be if I hadn't made the changes I did. Good luck getting
to your goal by Easter!

Skiing's my passion too! I've managed to go up to Lake Tahoe a lot this
year. My next trip is to Norway in a week and a half, where I'll be
swooshing down the slopes of Hafjell. : ) I normally lose weight when I'm on
vacation because I don't place much of an emphasis on food; there's too many
other cool things to do than eat.

Next season, I'm planning on getting a few trips to Utah and maybe Colorado
in as well. And, during the off season, I'll be hiking, backpacking,
climbing and running to get into great shape.

Glad to hear everything is goint so well for you Michelle. I hope
you'll stay here with us so we can share your celebrations when you
