I'm Debbie - sneaking up on 46 soon. I'm tired of being overweight.
My teenager just weighed in at the doctors office and is sneaking up on the weight of my 6' tall husband. I cannot let her continue on this path and the only way I can help her is to help myself. We're in this together.
My husband and I went gluten free on January 1st to help him with a health condition. Turns out I also needed it. Discovered that the reason I was getting sick after eating was the gluten. Now that it's gone I'm much healthier. While being healthy is great, I need to lose some weight. Hubby has lost 25 lbs.
Me? Zilch, nothing, nada! People comment that I look like I've lost weight - I think I'm redistributing it. My weight has remained the same as have my measurements. I'm discouraged!
As of today, I am going to start measuring my food (and my teen dd), keep a food log and increase my steps on my FitBit. We have a weight bench in the basement and we'll do a program 3 x's a week. I think that will fit in now that school is starting.
Sorry to have blabbed on - but I need some support and encouragement.
