MoonLite

My name is Sue, I'm 39 and live in the UK with my wonderful hubby and 3 boys aged 15, 11 and 8. 9 years of being a stay-at-home mum resulted in the journey UP... then 9 months to get down again!

Yay, I hit my goal on 25 Jun 2008 after starting my WW journey on the 16 September 2007. I've never been to a WW meeting, but used the fabulous resources here. I couldn't have done this without the encouragement and support from my buddy's... so a huge THANK YOU for keeping me inspired. ;o)

What has helped me?
(1) Focusing on one day at a time, progress made... not the lbs left to GOAL.
(2) Setting mini-goals of 10lbs losses.
(3) Completing the diet and exercise calendar to keep me accountable!
(4) Daily exercise - it's worth it, just to see those muscles develop and inches decrease!
(5) Joining in the team challenges to help keep that focus.

I've set myself little goals along the way which seemed much more attainable than my ultimate goal of 133lbs at the beginning!
