Thank you so much for your kind words a...Hi Noelle!<br />Thank you so much for your kind words about the blog! I can absolutely relate with you about coping with weight issues since, well, forever haha! <br />Also, congratulations on your weight loss! Weight watchers is a great program and it helped me out a lot...I still count points to make sure I'm being 'good'. <br />I have certainly plateaued more times then I can count! In one of my posts I mentioned that I was within the same few pounds for literally YEARS--ooyvey (I like to call that maintaining rather than plateauing haha). Anywho, it happens to the best dieters and can be the most frustrating time EVER! Plateauing can suck your motivation away but try not to allow it to do that...<br />The best thing that works for me is to use it as a challenge and mix things up a bit...different work out...different healthy meals-whatever works best for you! Even if it takes awhile, the pounds will start melting away again-don't fret!<br />Please keep in touch, I would love to know how and when you break through this pesky plateau (possible new post topic? haha)!<br />Congrats again on all you've accomplished so far-you'll get to your goal before you even realize it!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721964073978817175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072157339997533431.post-63276034991637487352012-03-16T09:17:15.169-07:002012-03-16T09:17:15.169-07:00Hi Patty!

Love your ...HI I found your blog through Pinterest! Love your honesty and your story! I too have struggled with weight my almost entire life, that is as soon as I was aware of my body image! I just lost 60 pounds on weight watchers over the last year! I am now on Sparkpeople and trying to lose about 30 more, it is very hard, I have been basically at a plateau, fluctuating up and down about 4 pounds since December! Did you ever plateau? for how long? I am determined to have this be a lifestyle change for me........Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378993613032428629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072157339997533431.post-27560940589532830442012-03-14T16:58:08.538-07:002012-03-14T16:58:08.538-07:00Hi Rachel - I just came across your blog on Pinter...Hi Rachel - I just came across your blog on Pinterest and wanted to congratulate you on your weight loss success and your courage to start this blog. I also want to thank you. I just read everything and found many of your posts helpful and entertaining.<br /><br />My weight timeline is the complete opposite of yours. I grew up very slim and never had a weight issue until after the birth of my fourth child at age 35. Since then my weight has been subtly and steadily climbing. I've half heartily attempted to lose weight over the last few years with little or no success but when I hit 199lbs a few months ago I decided things seriously have got to change.<br /><br />My 2012 commitment to myself is to lose 50lbs and get in shape. I've hired a personal trainer (a local university student who is very affordable) and I've started working out, eating three healthy meals a day and including fruits and vegetables in every meal. I'm proud to say that so far I've lost 18lbs and 17 inches.<br /><br />I find a lot of informative and motivational information on Pinterest and I've signed up to follow your blog as I am already a little worried about maintenance. I'm new to this blog stuff so I hope I've set myself up properly to follow your posts. <br /><br />Once again, thank you for starting this blog! I look forward to reading more of your helpful posts.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Patty<br />PS - I especially liked your post on Triggers. This is something I deal with almost daily. I didn't put it together mentally that my one little nibble was sending me into an eating frenzy. Interesting food for thought (pun intended).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
