Weight Watchers

So, Jacin and I want to have another baby.  But as many of you know I had some pretty serious complications with Shawn.  I had gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia.  The doctor's don't necessarily think it was weight related because many people that are a healthy weight have the same issues but they agree that starting out at a healthy weight would reduce the liklihood of these occuring again.  So I joined weight wathchers in early November.  I wasn't optimistic about it because "diets" don't work for me.  I don't know why but I've never been successful on a "diet."  But here I am three months into it and I've lost 23 pounds!  I'm loving it.  I'm feeling better and feeling better about myself.  Next week I'm going to try to add exercise to the regime.  We'll see how this goes because I HATE going to the gym and getting all sweaty and gross.  YUCK!  But I'm kind of motivated now that I see the scale going in a direction that doesn't make me cringe.

  2. You are doing great on WW and I am very proud of you for now going to the gym. I fully endorse it as I firmly believe it has kept me from killing someone at work. :)
