Rose McIntyre replied to Katie's discussion WW Leader Heavy Selling?? in the group Weight Watchers"When I attended meetings, my leader didn't push anything. She did give samples of the bars and even would talk about which snacks were on sale. If something came up and they had a product, she'd promote it, but never like what you're…"
Katie commented on Rachel's blog post Binged :("You are right about the only option being to keep moving on. Do you think there might be triggers that are causing this? Stress? Boredom? Not Eating Enough? Oddly enough I recently read that intensive exercising (like running) kills your appetites.…"
Suzyn commented on Katie's blog post What If Quitting Stopped Being An Option?"I'm sitting here with a huge smile on my face... this is such an inspiring post! And as it happens, it's very close to what I told myself this morning when I ran. I've gained about 15 pounds since I first did C25K last year (man it…"
Katie posted a blog postWhat If Quitting Stopped Being An Option?
I updated my blog and just wanted to share here too! :) 10,560 steps or as it’s more commonly known…2 miles! That’s what I ran yesterday without stopping. For the first time in my ENTIRE life. Holy cow!! What do I attribute this to? I wish I knew 100% but one thing the husband said really stuck with me. He’s run for about 20 years and I asked him if he ever just wants to stop or does it just not enter his mind. He said he just…See More

My Boot Camp is Over... Pictures :)
Posted on September 27, 2009 at 10:02pm 6 Comments 0 Likes
Well we’ll start with the weigh in results… I was down .6. I am tempted to say “only” but in all honesty I didn’t work out quite as much as I have been (homework had piled up and let’s be honest you gotta do it…) and I’d lost 15 in about 5 weeks so I’m sure the old body is in some transition. So when all is said and done I’ve lost 16.2 in 40 days and 36.2 over the course of the year. Not too shabby. I’ve included some before/during pictures in this post… why is that so scary? Maybe because it’s… Continue

Hi Everyone - it's been a while. My intention is always to update here and my new blog but life is so crazy it just doesn't happen sometimes! Sooooo for the quick recap. I'm down 15.4 since I started this little self made boot camp and have lost a total of 35.6 since January. (I updated some pics at my blog) More importantly I'm IN LOVE with running. I can't seem to get enough and every day I see myself getting stronger, faster,… Continue

Wow it’s been a while! Some updates to start! I have started my own blog A Running Start - how appropriate :) I still will be around on BTL but like Arlene I just felt like branching out a little and getting some web experience. I have lost 7.6 lbs as of last Sunday on my boot camp plan and have reached the ½ way point as of Monday so only a couple more weeks to go! In fact two weeks from this Sunday it will be complete. I have to… Continue
The Switch Has Been Flipped...

Ever had something that was going so well you didn’t want to talk about it because you were sure you’d jinx it? Well that my friends is why I have been sooo quiet lately :) You know that elusive light switch we all talk about when it comes to weight loss… when it’s on life is good and when it’s off we can’t get on that healthy living train for love or money! I’m happy to report my switch is ON and the light is burning brightly. The husband and I are in the throes of our 40 day boot camp and I’m… Continue

Malia Bishop said… - Thanks for the comment! I don't feel like motivation for anybody I read other people's blogs and get inspired by them. You totally made my day saying I motivate you!!! Good luck and if I can do it you can too!

- Thank you!! I'm happy you were inspired by me even though I didn't lose. We are both full time students! But I can' t believe you work full time on top of that, YIKES!!! That would be so hard. Welcome to blog to lose!

Robyn said… - Thanks for your comment Katie. I too experienced that before I go to bed too! Hmm.. I don't think I'm stressed or feeling anxious. But maybe deep down inside I am? I'll monitor it.. but thanks again for your info.

MommyMcButterpants said… - That's awesome- and thanks for leaving the comment. I saw it posted on a friend's facebook pics- and I had to snag it for myself...makes you think, doesn't it? Glad to have shared something positive with you! Have a great day!

- Just one more thing- noticed your blog today "finding focus, again" . . .You need to give yourself some credit. Out of the 6 goals on your page that you've listed, you've met 4 of 6- and the 2 you haven't met? they aren't even close to their deadlines yet. Shake off the couple of days bugging you...you are doing this the right way- and we all have 'off' days :)

Angie said… - Thanks Katie! I remember starting out and reading other people's stories and thinking "That's great for them, but I could never lose weight." Something finally clicked for me and I did! Sounds like you're really in a good place right now and ready to get healthy. AND a fellow vegetarian! Can't wait to get to know you more :)
