Don’t Quit – Persevere

Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle

Some how this vlog slipped through the cracks and never got posted. However, it’s perfect timing as I’m coming up on my one year anniversary of hitting goal at WW (formerly known as Weight Watchers)! Lori and I share our thoughts on staying the course and not quitting! Sometimes easier said than done!

Celebrating 1 Year Anniversary

It recently dawned on me that I hit my goal weight at the end of October last year. That means that I’m celebrating one year of keeping my weight off! That’s kind of a big deal in my mind as I’ve never lost this much weight and I never kept if off for any length of time!

Before and After

Lori thinks that I never really looked this big and that it’s a bad angle! I agree that it’s a bad angle but I really was this heavy. I knew how to dress to hide much of my weight and never posted any pictures at “bad angles”!

Every day I have to make an effort to make good choices, to never give up, to remind myself how far I’ve come and how good I feel! I continue to go to meetings weekly at this point especially in support of my husband. I like our meetings and our group of wonderful friends that are also on this journey. Will it ever be easy for me? Probably not..not that it’s hard it just takes effort and as we state in the video, I can’t stop reminding myself daily. In the past, I’d quit and the weight ALWAYS came back each time resulting in me being bigger than the time before!

Remember friends…it’s never too late and you’re never too old! If I can do it, so can you! I never dreamed it possible; and here I am heading into year two of my weight loss maintenance!
