Peanut –

I've been on weightwatchers since Jan 2009. In 2009, I lost almost 25 lbs, then found out I was pregnant. Since I had my daughter I've been rollercoasting or do the wave (as I call it). Right now I go to the meetings to make sure I don't gain to much weight back. My goal is by September to stay close to the same weight as I was in the beginning of this testing window. Then I'm going to kick some more weight off of me!! I'm just trying to keep my motivation towards the CPA rather than weightwatchers.

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....

I joined a roller derby team while I was waiting for my scores last window. It's made it a little more difficult to study, but I've decided not to give it up because being physically active is important to me and I LOVE DERBY. 🙂 4x per week, 2 hours each day.

Also I have a weekly date on Saturdays to go mountain biking with my fiance.

I've gained a lot of weight since I started studying for this exam. I'm really looking forward to losing it. After I'm done with my final section, I am going to start weight training on the 2 days of the week that I'm not doing derby or mountain biking. Also would like to start skating at the park on Sundays.

I did p90x for a while about a year ago and lost tons of inches and weight… but it was so miserable to do! Not fun at all. I've vowed to do things that I enjoy for exercise, or else I'll never keep it up. I'm extremely active… I think my main problem forgetting to bring a lunch and then going out to eat. Which also takes away from study time since I usually study on lunch breaks.

Oh and the fish oil thing – I had a problem with the burping, even with using krill oil (which is supposed to be better). I take it at night now, right before bed. No burping. 🙂

I go to the meetings every Saturday morning. I'm still down 10 pounds from my starting weight. If I didn't go to the meetings I would have gained all that back plus some.

I go to the TOPS meetings, but follow the WW plan. It is only $7 a month and they have all sorts of great incentives for losing weight each week…I find it to be far more motivating than WW. I love the WW points plan though and I actually just ordered books for the new PointsPlus plan! Any of you guys use the new plan yet?

I am finally DONE!

I've been following the new plan but I don't think I get it yet. Maybe that's why I've been rollercoasting. Right now I'm on top of the hill hopefully going down.
