Confessions of a WISH dropout.....

[anniet]

....who wants to drop back in again.

Anyone remember me? Well, I've kept the 10pounds off, but stalled. Sorry, but the busiest season of the year hit at work and at the same time, DBF and I decided to get married in Florida in January (on our yearly Disney trip-we'll be getting hitched in Melbourne and then checking into the BCV on the wedding night) so I've been busy planning a long distance wedding too!!!! I've got a month to go, and I'd like to drop some weight by then- I don't care if there are holidays coming, or how loud the seamstress who is doing the alterations to my gown screams!!!

Luckily I do have 4 WISH buddies who haven't given up on me yet!

(thanks alreadyexcitedgrammy, ohmom, tigh and tammync )

I just wanted to let you all know, I'll be around a little more now for the next month, and I'll be looking for all the help and suggestions I can get!

AnnieT!!!

How could we EVER forget you and your gorgeous smile! Besides, you were are last week's WISH meet. (By proxy, anyway, thanks to TigH!)

Congratulations on your wonderful news! 10 pounds during the holidays is a pretty tough order, but you've got some pretty strong motivation and some pretty powerful friends to help you along..

I'm so very glad to see your name here again!

Welcome back!!

I'm glad you've maintained your 10 pound loss. Sometimes just maintaining takes real work, much less losing! Be kind to yourself! With all that you're doing and all that you're going through, you should be very proud that you've maintained!

I think you're doing just fine!

I'm glad to see that you posted. You have been working at maintaining and thankfully you can say you have maintained. Now that you have committed to really sticking to it and wanting to lose, I know that you'll do that as well.

Sometimes our bodies need a little break and you have had a lot on you. I am glad to see you back and I'll be asking you more about it in our emails. I won't be hard, just more as a reminder .

Remember, you can do this, you have come this far and we do want that seamstress hollering, because that means she has to take in more . Maybe I'll even hear her in NC.

Weight loss is a lifetime "work-in-progress" It's great that you've maintained and now you just want to pick up the pace a bit. No harm in that.

If you weren't allowed to come back after being away, then I might as well give up now as I know I will have good times and bad times.

Welcome back and keep up the good work!

I know there are a dozen or more of us out there that have really backslidden! I was down to 182 (from 236) and crept back up to 184- lots of stuff going on right now and trying to stay disciplined and exercise when it's so cold out has not worked well. On Tuesday (yesterday) I stuck to Atkins to try and jump start my weight loss and help curb my appetite for carbs- looking back on my eating- it's been high carb every day- so this will help.
My goal is to get in the 170's as far as I can by New Year's Eve- so count me in there with you when you're struggling with snacking or healthy choices- let's not let each other down and aim for the goal!!! And what a WONDERFUL way to celebrate your goal by getting married- then eat all the cake you want! Congratulations!!!!

Remember, drink lots of water- choose fresh veggies/fruits- and stay away from sugar/white flour no matter which type of plan you're on! It'll come off!!!

I'm with you!
