WE ARE!!!
The only way we can expect to lose weight and change is to make it happen ourselves. We can’t expect anyone else to do it for us. It won’t just happen either. We have to work at it. I’ve known this for a while but it seems like the last couple of weeks that I’ve let my guard down. Yes, I’ve had plenty of excuses. I had work, started school, lack of sleep, or whatever I came up with. Well, while sitting yesterday in my ww meeting and being really disappointed over my .6 pound loss. I got motivated. I am going to have to work to make this happen. This means limiting my eating out, drinking my water, eating my points without going extremely over, and EXERCISE. It’s more then winning the challenge with Steph. It’s what is going to make the scales move and the inces drop. I have to work hard at this and do it right. Yesterday, Steph and i took a 45 minute mall walk. I also got on the elliptical last night. I am not going to report how much because Steph and I have agreed to keep our amount of activity points secret until next Saturday morning. If we are wondering what the other did, then we will work harder. We are just going to let each other know that we did exercise and what it was. Not the amount or intensity.
I am going to really work on getting my butt moving. I have to learn to do all of this while stressing out. I have to learn to handle the stress. It’s not by grabbing a mt dew because I’m tired from getting up early. It’s not by stuffing my face full of food. It’s by exercising or studying a little harder for that test that may be stressing me out. It’s by coming on here and reading blogs. It’s by texting Steph to get me through. It’s by taking a relaxing bath. It’s by positive self talk. You know, the talk that we tell ourselves that we can do it. We are worth it. You know we are worth it. I know I’m worth it. I want to be the best mom, wife, and nurse I can be. I want the world. I want to reap all the rewards that life has to offer. I don’t want to be tired and run down by all of this extra weight.
Who’s going to make our weight loss happen? WE ARE! Who’s responsible for our actions? WE ARE! Who’s worth it? WE ARE!!!

Dr. Oz say take resveratrol to live a long and healthy life.
Resveratrol Supplements can help you control your weight naturally
by increasing energy, reducing cravings, and limiting your appetite.
According to Wikipedia, Consumer Lab, an independent dietary
supplement and over the counter products evaluation organization,
published a report on 13 November 2007 on the popular resveratrol
supplements. The organization reported that there exists a wide range
in quality, dose, and price among the 13 resveratrol products
evaluated. The actual amount of resveratrol contained in the
different brands range from 2.2mg for Revatrol, which claimed to have
400mg of “Red Wine Grape Complex”, to 500mg for Biotivia.com Transmax,
which is consistent with the amount claimed on the product’s label.
Prices per 100mg of resveratrol ranged from less than $.30 for
products made by Biotivia.com, jarrow, and country life, to a high of
$45.27 for the Revatrol brand. None of the products tested were found
to have significant levels of heavy metals or other contaminants.
You are such an inspiration!! I just loved reading your blog!! Keep up your hard work!! I am a part of WW also and I love going to the meetings. It’s what keeps me going. Well, that and this website. It’s the best. Good luck to you on your journey!!
You could not be any more right with what you said. We control it all. And hey… point 6 lb is still a loss! So congrats on that! If it makes you feel any better..I weighed in on Saturday at WW and stayed exactly the same! Talk about a disappointment!
But you can do this. And you are right…eating out does not help! Give yourself a mini goal…only allow yourself to do it once or twice this week! You can do it. And we are all right here with you.
very inspirational!I had been fighting weight loss issues all my life and had tried just about everything out there. Then I found a plan that really worked for me. I don’t know if it is what you’re looking for but it is a fat burning and weight loss dream come true for me. I published a blog to tell my story and suggest it to everyone. I know how tough it is to try to drop the pounds and I just wanted to help as many people as I can. You can view my story and this plan at:
