Hug
I couldn't get rid of the Halloween candy. Unfortunatly I still live at home and it is my family's candy. They would probaly kill me if they woke up and I had ditched it all. I'm not the only one in my family with a junk food addiction. :-/ I have managed to stay away from it though. I'm just pretending its not there and chewing a lot of gum!

Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
From Sept 2006- October 2007, I gained over 70 pounds. I joined DS in October '07 and lost 13 pounds by the end of the year. I got serious about it at the beginning of this January and finally reached my goal in late June/early July. I am currently working on continually maintaining my now 80 pound weight loss.
Treatments
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- I go by the 'you bite it you write it' mentality. I write down EVERYTHING I eat plus I count my calories in my food log.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- I am working out quite hard, doing lots of running and the stairmaster at the gym. I also swim and do the elliptical as well, in addition to weight lifting.
- Slim-Fast Working / Worked
- I used it a lot during my weight loss. After I reached my goal, I stopped drinking them regularly but I will still have one occasionally.
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- I lost 17 pounds on weight watchers prior to my 70 pound weight gain. I didn't like the points. Calories are WAY easier to count.
Close Fitness Goals
Type: Maintain a workout scheduleI was a talented competitive swimmer since age 9. At 20 I decided I was over it and was completely burned out. 11 years no breaks. Once I stopped, I gained over 70 pounds. Nowdays, I am a workout maniac! :) I do a LOT of running, stairmaster, and weight lifting, with occasional swimming and elliptical.
Treatments
- Elliptical Trainer Working / Worked
- I do the 'himelayan trek' and it whoops my butt EVERY TIME. :)
- Running Working / Worked
- I LOVE IT! I am running in my neighborhood/around my city and the scenery really helps the time pass quickly during the long runs.
- Slim-Fast Working / Worked
- I am combining the Slim Fast plan with exercising and it's going really well! I hate preparing food so it's nice to grab a shake and go.
- Swimming Working / Worked
- I'm trying to swim a little bit now, just to mix things up.
- Weight Training Working / Worked
- I work on toning up my arms and back. I use 15 lb dumbells along with the bench press.
Open Healthy Relationships
I have been with my boyfriend for over two years, and we are very happy. But we both are always looking to improve and strengthen what we have
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Working / Worked
- Brian attended my premarital class that I was taking last semester. I loved that and we learned a LOT.
- Patience Working / Worked
- I am the most impatient person in the world. I want to talk, to resolve, to fight, or whatever NOW. I never wait things out.
