Looking for My Waist: Curse the Holidays and Thank God They're over

by Andrea Hermitt | More from this Blogger

This morning I weigh 254.5 pounds and my measurements are as follows

Bust 49 Waist 45 Hips 52 Thighs 46 Arm 14.5

Original weight and measurements on Dec 20 where:

Weight 250 Bust 50 Waist 46 Hips 53 Thighs 47 Single arm 15 In summation, I can say that though I did poorly controlling my eating, the walking and stretching that I have done made a tiny difference on my waistline.

I feel like a fish in a bowl sharing my most intimate struggle like this. However, I feel like I need this to make myself accountable to myself and to my audience. My method for losing weight this year is still not even clear to myself. Considering all of the things I have tried with marginal success, I do know some kind of combination of my previous methods will work.

(Input is appreciated)

In the past, I have taken Tae Kwon Do and got almost to black belt. My weight, however hardly changed and so I could not get the air to do a jump kick. My knees began to fail, so eventually I gave up. What weight I had lost during that time, came back and then more. My knees feel even worse no than they had before.

This past year, my doctor had me on weight loss pills. Like I said before I over 40 pounds, and hoped to lose 100, but any and all studies on weight loss say that pills will take off an average of 30-40 pounds. How could I expect more? They stopped working, and I have gained back half of it.

Three years ago, my husband and I did weight watchers together. I lost a bit, and watched my husband shrink. I gained it back.

My theory is to combine. Find a weight loss supplement to get me started. Get exercising daily, and then follow a good plan like weight watchers. I still need to work out the details, but this time, I am going to make it work.
