Start Weight:	(04 May 08) 208.0 lb
Current Weight:	(29 Jun 08) 196.6 lb
Goal Weight:	139.0 lb

following: Weight Watchers
performance: losing 1.5 lb a week

I'm a 30 year old mother of three who does not want to be "the fat mom." My 5 year old is going to kindergarten this fall and I want to be a size six by next summer and be running races again. I grew up overweight and didn't start running until after my first son was born.

I lost 65 pounds with weight watchers after my first pregnancy and ran the Chicago Marathon in 2004. Then I got back to a size 8 after my second son and ran a half marathon.

I started a new job in 2006 and the weight crept back on until I was suddenly 200 lbs again. A surprise pregnancy followed and here I am struggling with my sugar addiction and back at weight watchers to lose 80 pounds. UGH! This time I'm staying away from fat free and artificial sweetners and trying to eat more organic/healthy foods in smaller portions. I've done it twice I know I can do it again. It's all about positive thinking...and some friendly competition sure helps too!

50 LB WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - WELCOME
Yea! I'm down 2.8 this week. I was worried since I gave into my ice cream craving twice this week. Good luck to all with the upcoming holiday barbeques...I need a sign that says BEWARE OF BRATS AND BROWNIES!

50 LB WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - WELCOME
Last week was okay for me. Down 2.2. I think I tend to lose when I cheat on the weekends only and then am very good during the week. Also, I didn't go grocery shopping this week and only had Starbucks once. I went to a Sex and the City party (Cosmos, sushi, chocolate cupcakes), then to the movie (Large popcorn and Coke...hate diet pop, then Culvers. That was Sunday and I fought it all week.

My getting 8 hours/night of sleep was just a dream..I ave more like 5 to 6 with the kids.

Water consumption was good...2 to 3 liters/day and I exercised 3 days.

I'm looking forward to some good recipes as I'm bored with our weekly menu.

I'm praying to make it under 200 this week!! 1.5 pounds..to go.

I was disappointed with my loss this past week. I exercised a lot and drank a ton of water but I wasn't great about journaling. I'm excited about the challenge as I also have three young ones but often watch tv to wind down for a few hours after the kids are down. Interesting to see if it makes a difference to cut out the tv.

50 LB WLC - WEEK #3
I have always been an emotional eater and it doesn't help that my husband has never had a problem with food and doesn't understand my issues with sweets. I just can't have it in my house! One thin mint is great...but the whole sleeve is better. So my mini goals this week are

1. don't have trigger foods in the house
2. go outside and garden or walk if I feel the need to snack
3. If I am upset talk about it instead of stuff my face Smile

4. drink 3 jugs of water each day
