~~~10/26/07 - So my 100 days of 100% has not gone as planned, but I'm still losing, just not as quickly as I would like. I am however, very pleased with the results shedding 60 lbs has given me. It's been tough this past week to get in the exercise as we have been staying inside the house with all the fires. We are very fortunate not to be in the line of fire. We count our blessings every day and keep those who are not as fortunate in our thoughts. Good luck to everyone this week on continued weight loss.~~~

~~~7/29/07 - My weight loss has been slow for the past 3 weeks. Not because of lack of exercise or consistency with exercising, but because I have been cheating. I'm not cheating a lot; a dinner here, a dinner there, a week of vacation, you get the idea. Obviously it's showing in my lack of progress over the last 3 weeks. So I have decided to hold myself accountable and commit to 100% for the next 100 days. This will bring me into November and hopefully, much closer to my ultimate goal of 120-125 lbs.~~~

~~~ Like many others, I have struggled with my weight a good portion of my life. Three kids later, I find myself 85lbs overweight. First baby, 70lb weight gain, lost only 30. Second baby, 50lb weight gain, lost 40. Last baby, 45lb weight gain, lost 45.

Still have the baby weight from my first pregnancy. I have tried South Beach and Weight Watchers. I was successful with both in the past (lost 40lbs after baby #2 on South Beach), but gained it all back. I tried a combination of South Beach and Weight Watchers before NS, but the weight just wouldn't come off, so here I am 3 months into the program and almost 40lbs down!

I really like most of the food and the program is very easy to follow. Convenience was a big issue for me (3 young children; 5, 3, 20mo) and NS is very convenient.

I am only 5'3", so my goal is 120-125lbs. As an adult, I have never been that low before, but am determined to make it this time! ~~~
