Weight Loss...the saga continues...

Air must have calories!!! Even when I do nothing but breathe, I gain weight.  


I've recently re-joined Weight Watchers.  (I lost so much weight with their program 25 years ago, my husband made me quit! (I didn't know you could adjust your goal weight..I could have been a lifetime member!) 


For the past several years, I've been adjusting to the battle against (and adjustments after) brease cancer.  Hormone reactive breast cancer is a nasty buggar...and hormones are beneficial to maintaining a healthy weight (so I'm told).  Anyway, I've gained about 10 lbs. each year for the past five years...about 50 lbs. in all...


The Good News -- I've LOST a year's worth of weight gain in the past 7 weeks!  Being mindful of what I'm eating has also inspired me to create (YES, CREATE) amazing new meals that I will never, ever have to give up!  I'll be posting some recipes and pics soon on the blog.  


I'm not a paid spokesperson.  I just believe when you have useful information, you should share it! If you are interested in learning more, check out: http://www.weightwatchers.com/


If you are younger and/or more active than me, I'm sure you will have far better results than I've had.  No matter what anyone says, 10 lbs. is 2 bags of flour...imagine carrying them around all the time!  It's feels noticeably different...now on to the next 40 or so pounds...
