I guess I am the last one in this group. I am Cynthia the mom. I started this journey about 20 months ago a friend and co-worker and I decided we had had enough and we started to go to weight watcher together. Having someone who went with me every week was great. My husband also joined us for awhile. When i started out I was about 60lbs over weight. For me the point system that weight watchers use was the best thing,that and the weekly weight ins. I learned that my portions were way off and that i need to think about what I was putting in my mouth and whether it was worth eating and using up my points that I had for that day. The other big thing for me was I started MOVING I started with walking for 20 min a day. Then worked up to a little bit of running mixed in with the walking. then more running and it felt so good. There were time and there still are times that I come home from work and I just want to sit and watch tv.I have tried many different types of exercise but for me running is the one for me. last year I set a gaol to run 1000 miles. On DEC 19,2012 I finished that gaol with 1001 miles for the year. Then went and had foot surgery. Now I feel like a slug I went from running 25 miles a week to stuck on my butt for four weeks. Now my journey cont.... as I battle to keep off the 50lbs that I have lost so far and then get back in to shape when I can start walking again.
