Hi All
I started a new program today January 2006 and decided to write about what I had been doing and what new program I will be doing for awhile. I was very pleased with the previous program but was getting tired of it and felt I had to change things up a bit. In Decemeber 2005 my employer of 18 years let me and 9 others go. Downsizing! So I am using the Severance Pay I received for hardly ever taken any vacation for myself to pay for the food. I also filed for disability in December as I have a physical condition that has gotten worse over the years and it was getting harder and harder to do my job. So I suppose that had something to do with them letting me go also. Anyhow even with the disability I can still work a few hours a week and I did find a new job.
So here is my short story from the previous 2 years!
I had been following the WW program since Jan 2004 even though Hubby was still in the house. You see in May 2004 I started the divorce process but he would never leave the house so once the divorce was final in February 2005 he was forced out. H*** he wasn'tt here much anyhow and he wasn't sleeping in the bed so it didn't bother me. I had no idea where he was eating and I could really care less. One year later January 2005 I was 95 pounds thinner. I went from my all time high 497 to 402. 95 pounds in 1 year.
Here is the before and the after
When the divorce was final in February the ex left but my best friends Lois and Russell came to live with me from March 2005 until Sept 2005. There home had major damage due to the Hurricanes of 2004 and their 5th wheel trailer was taken away by their insurance. They had no where to live so I told them to come and live with me. It was suppose to be for about 6 weeks but turned out to be 6 months. Well it was extremely hard to follow the program when 2 others were living with me and they were cooking meals on the 3 days I was working. I was trying not to eat the Banana breads and other wonderful things they made, but I gave in several times. As a result I gained back some weight but did manage to lose it again after they left. I was hoping for more weight loss in 2005 but was very happy that I managed to finish the year up at the same weight as I started the year.
So that catches you all up to now 2006. Started a new weight loss program. I'm doing it the the Nutrisystem Weigh now. I got my food delivered to the door, sorted out the 5 weeks worth of breakfasts, lunches, dinners and desserts, read the booklet and started on Sunday Jan 29th. Five days after my 50th birthday and weighing in at 402 pounds. Sunday was a good day. By the afternoon on Monday I though all my God if I don't stop going to the bathroom I am DONE with this program. Tuesday I woke up and I was fine and it has been great each day since. I guess Monday was the day my body got rid of all the bad toxins I had in my system. Thank God it was only one day's worth. I am enjoying the food and not having to do a great deal of planning, preparing of food nor cleaning up. Best of all I don't have to count points (like the previous program) or calories. NS does it all for me. This first week I lost 13 pounds, I am now down below the 400's, didn't even see the 390's as I flew by them and now I am into the 380's.
I LOVE IT!
