Lurker..coming out of the woodwork...
| Sun, 03-18-2007 - 3:57pm |
Hi, my name is Shelley and I have been on the Weight Watchers flex plan since the first of December. I have lost 20 pounds and have 5 to go to my goal weight. For the last two weeks I have been stuck at the same weight. My weigh in day is tomorrow and I think I am down one pound, but we'll see when I step on the scale.
I have four children, the youngest, Kaci, was born in November. I am nursing which restricts my ability to really cut back on calories, but up until now I had seen a steady 1 or 2 pound loss each week. I have been lurking on the board for several weeks, but wanted to introduce myself and solicit y'all for some encourage and advice.
TIA, Shelley

Hey Shelley, welcome out of lurkdom!
Before and Still Going Pic LOL
Wooooo-wheeeee!!! Welcome, friend!! I was wondering when you were gonna show your face around here...Lots of support..it's a great place to be. Glad to see you, I'm happy you're here!! (((hugs))) I have 7 pounds to goal, and I tell ya..this last 10 has been the hardest of my entire journey. When you get down to the end, it seems like every single calorie makes a difference. The exercise, the water, you know, all the little details add up and it all matters!!
What a great looking family!
Thanks Krista for the encouragement. I really want to reach my goal weight by the end of April. DH and I are going away for our anniversary and I'd like to be close to my pre-preggo weight. My ultimate goal is actually 5 pounds lighter than my goal weight, but I know while nursing, I will hang onto those last 5 pounds until I wean.

Thanks Vanessa! I hope I can boost my metabolism. The weather is starting to warm a bit, so maybe I can get out to walk while pushing the two young ones in the stroller. Thanks for the compliment on the children. They are sweet kiddos!!!

Thanks Amy! I actually gained 50 pounds with this pregnancy. I had never gained that much in the past. A lot of it was fluid, as I was incredibly swollen. I lost the first 25 without trying, but then got 'stuck', so I joined WW online. The hardest part for me is eating all the points that I am suppose to consume. I didn't realize it was important to eat them all. Also, thanks for the info on the 2 points per nursing session. We just started cereal, so that information will be useful as we increase the solids.
Thanks again. Everyone has made me feel very welcomed.

No problem Shelley!
Welcome, Shelley!
