well, weight loss has always been a source of frustration for me! I lost 65 lbs the first year I lived in Haiti but unfortunately most of that snuck back on once I had more variety in my diet!
Well, after starting eating healthier - I am currently down 6lbs in 4 weeks! I have started doing a points system with some gals from work (Weight Watchers but without going to Weight Watchers.)
I have consistently lost weight each week when we weigh in and many people are commenting that they can tell I have lost weight (which is always a great feeling!)
I find it kind of funny only because the specialist I saw for my biopsy consult had asked if I was losing a lot of weight as it is one of the side effects of celiac disease and I had told him - Nope, only the couple of pounds I had lost at that point by watching what I ate and how much I ate. If I am going to lose weight, I would rather lose it the healthy way and not because my body can't absorb nutrients that I need!
anyway, that is it for tonight! Tomorrow I am going to help decorate the church for our Children's Ministry Valentine's Event and then go to pick up my grandmother from the ferry in Horseshoe Bay and then Sunday I drive my mom and granny to the airport in Seattle for their flight to Puerto Rico where they will be visiting my aunt and uncle for 3 weeks. Sunday we will be leaving early (right after church) so that we can stop and get some shopping in on the way to Seattle! (okay - so I will probably be doing most all of the shopping but they get to come along for the fun!) Their flight doesn't leave till midnight so they don't have to be at the airport till about 10 pm so that gives us lots of shopping time!!

Hi Theresa!
I just wanted to congratulate you on the weight loss. Good job! I understand how hard it is. I've been trying to do the same thing you have with paying more attention to what I'm eating and how much and have lost about 15 lbs. in the last 2 months. I thought I would lose more living here, but I sit at a desk for most of the day and I'm doing all of our cooking now.
Anyway, I just wanted to cheer you on :)

Thanks Leslie!!
I thought I would lose more when I was in Haiti too! But like you, I was at a desk all day and LOVED the food too much!,
I know that I didn't put the weight on in a short period of time and so I shouldn't expect to take it off quickly. I need to be more dedicated to going to the gym though!
Hope you get some EDH with Carnival coming!
Theresa
