Exercise and New Way of Eating

A couple months back I decided I needed to start exercising again so off I went to our local YMCA. So at least 4 days a week I take some classes, work out with a personal trainer and squeeze in aerobics. I'm feeling so much better.



About 5yrs ago I was on Weight Watchers and actually made it to be a Lifetimer. Then I became too confident and wandered away and gained back about 20 pounds. So back in Sept. 2008 I went back to Weight Watchers. I'm happy to say that I'm almost back to goal. It's hard to loose weight when you're over 60 but I'm plugging along.
EDIT: I'm happy to add that as of Wed., April 8 I made goal so am now back to LIFETIME weight watcher status. yea

Now recently Weight Watchers moved their location. I don't know what they're thinking. The WW Center is located between a pizza joint and a sandwich shop ....... can't you believe it ....

What in the world were they thinking? I think me being over 60 also, (62) is why I'm having a hard time getting the last 5# off. I'm looking forward to Lifetime one of these days.

They have made a smart decision - they are teaching you to stay away from temtations, and/or to learn how to choose from them when you have to.
I remember a WW meeting where, to keep my very young daugher quiet, I brought in a small bag of cheesies (I didn't realize she had to come with me, and I just grabbed it while going in). Well, the leader sure was mad at me!! Even then I thought, hey, it's all around us, all the time. We all have to fight the trigger foods/things that get us grabbing something to calm us down, and this is the perfect place to talk about things like that. I didn' realize at the time, that the leader was loosing a battle to not eat, and I guess this was one of her trigger foods. Shortly after this incident, I realized I was pregnant, and stopped going to the meetings....You can't go unless your Dr. says you can, and after that incident, I didn't really want to anymore....

I am so proud of you reaching your goal!!!!! I hope you gave yourself a huge hug and a great victiorious walk around the blk blowing your own horn!!! Excellant!!! Have the best weekend ever and keep looking up!!!
