Recommitting to weight loss/good health
Hi Everyone,
I'm a lifetime Weight Watchers member since 9 years ago, but I am currently 10 lbs overweight.. I also suspect my cholesterol is high (I have a doctor's appointment in 2 weeks so I'll confirm that soon). The saying about the last 10 lbs. being the hardest to lose has proven true for me.. Ever since I turned 40 two years ago, I noticed my metabolism is slightly slower and I've been told that after menopause, it gets harder to keep weight off. So I've decided to do my best to start eating healthy now, following Weight Watchers since, for me, it's the most flexible, moderate diet. I'm also just trying to make 3 small changes every 3-4 weeks. My first 3 changes a 1. cut out the Werther's hard candy (I'm addicted) and switch to Lifesavers (non-addictive for me), 2. for every glass of Crystal Light, drink at least 1 glass of H2O, 3. cut back cardio from 30 to 20 minutes and add 20 minutes of weight training. 5 x/week I'll let everyone know how it goes. I've read many of the messages on this board and this seems to be a very inclusive community. I look forward to participating. Blanche 165/151/162 |

I know all too well how hard it is to lose those last 10 pounds. I've been a WW lifetime member since the mid 80's. I recently joined one of their at-work programs and am trying to get back to goal - 7 more pounds to go. Beverly |
