    • About Me

      I currently work part-time as a church pianist on weekends. At this time I'm looking for a 3rd part-time job and other additional work, as I will ALSO be going BACK TO SCHOOL, or online school (AIU Online) for my 3rd Bachelor's in Graphic Design (starting Monday)!! I am currently active in a Celebrate Reocvery program at Grace United Methodist Church in Cape Coral, and co-lead the food addiction group. I'm also attending a weekly OA Meeting as well. I've just switched from Results Weight Loss to Weight Watchers, which I've done about 10 years ago, and feel MUCH better about my food program!! This is now my 3rd time taking off the weight (50+ pounds) and this time, with the help of God, will KEEP IT OFF! Praise God! Thank you!

      Hi, I'm Shana. This is my THIRD time losing the weight, and with God's help, will KEEP IT OFF this time! So far, I DO believe that the Results Weight Loss Plan will be the RIGHT one for me! I also attend a Celebrate Recovery program at my church; I also co-lead the womens' food addiction group there.

      Treatments

      LA Weight Loss Working / Worked
      I've lost about 28 pounds so far; my goal is to lose another 50 or 60, or more. As long as I REALLY work it, it does work! Plus I'm finally working out at a gym again!
      Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Working / Worked
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I attempt to work out at the gym 2 - 4 times per week; if I can't get there, I try to walk (at least) 20 minutes or so. I also have free weights at home I can use.
      Weight Watchers Somewhat Helpful
      I DID lose about 50 or so pounds back in '98. Unfortunately, I hit my bottom with depression in '99, started antidepressants, and gained all the weight back plus more! It took me a long time to realize that it was NOT JUST the meds that caused me to gain weight, but I had a part in it, too!
