Introductions
1) How did you hear about the site?
I love TBL show and was looking at their website for a FREE support system.
2) Reasons for joining?
I am looking for an all-encompassing program--that deals with exercise (without having to join a gym or enlist a personal trainer), nutrition (without getting a personal chef or buying pre-packaged non-real foods) crappy moods (without yet another therapist) that I can learn about and work on at my own convenience.
3) Current Weight
Ugh...202 lbs...11 lbs more than I weighed when I was pregnant 4 years ago!
4) Current/Past Lifestyle Habits (do you exercise and if so for how long, what exercise? what is your nutrition like, what are you eating on a daily basis? do you smoke? drink?)
I quit smoking 13 years ago, drink socially, do NOT like strenuous exercise--OK well I guess I should admit that I don't think I have ever actually tried 'strenuous' exercise--I usually quit after 'moderate' exercise--I am embarrased by exercising in public, even around my children.
5) Things you have trouble with in losing weight
My issue is overeating--emotional eating--binge eating. I always used to call myself a 'failed bulimic'--I would overeat and puke, but I never did the exercise jags or the laxatives--I just ate and puked continually for 25 years. Then a year ago I had surgery to correct acid reflux, now it is impossible for me to throw up--I have always been overweight, but have gained 25 lbs this past year and am afraid of the future.
6) Things you have tried in the past for weight loss (did they work before?)
Metabolife worked for 15 lbs until my heart felt it was going to beat right out of my chest, so I stopped that. And of course the bulimia thing--kept my weight down more than it is now, but I wouldn't call it a success.
7) What do you want to change in your life?
LOTS. I want to stop being so petty--stop worrying about being embarrassed. I want to stop emotional eating and overeating. i want to learn to enjoy physical activity and make it a daily part of my life.
8) What are your short and long term goals for weight loss?
Short term I would like to lose 20 lbs. Long term I would like to lose 50 lbs and live a healthier lifestyle.
