Fitness Update- A Family View piont.

At a stand still right now. I do so hate this point of the weight lost journey. Feel like it take a while to get over the hump. Do feel my cloths getting looser and know the fat is dissolving. So trying not to let myself get discouraged is very important.

Been staying around 168. Do go up and down some but maintaining in most the 168. Would like to lose 10 more pounds before June. Find that setting small goals are better for me.

Still on the Sensa Plan and getting ready to add another plan to it. We received a new weight program recently. Have not started it yet. The family, mostly hubby, does not want to do Sensa. He just doesn't seem to remember to sprinkle. Too much work he thinks. So I will join him in the new program. Let you know when we start it. Right now He has to get the clearance from the doctors. Has some Kidney and Clotting problems. However He needs to loose weight!

My daughter is Obese in her weight. We have been trying to get her to loose. However, it is harder for teens. She loves to blame me for the weight. I told her that I am eatting the food I am making and losing weight. She just refuses to eat the food. Therefore she eats far in between and consume too many sweet and carbs. I refuse to buy her the carbs and will only do sweets a little. she will soon be 18 the will have to work on her own health. The Nutritionist told me to stay out of it! That is so hard when I see the health issues it is causing. She is 5'2 and 175. I hope posting this will make her realize she needs to work on it. I will admit that she was working out, but she didn't feel it was helping her weight. Once she gets to 18, I can give her the sensa plan and just maybe it will help her control her cravings for Carbs.

Weight Update.

So here I am 1.5 months into the Sensa Weight lost system. I have lost 9 pounds. At first it is hard to remember to sprinkle all food. However I am getting better at it. I have notice that my clothes are getting better and I am loosing inches. Will have to do measurements today. That way I can see the inches go away. In loosing weight sometimes the Scale do not sure the real truth. Once can loose the inches and not the weight as much. My goal is really to tone up and loose also.

Hubby tried it, however he has no patience. He want to see progress daily. This program dose not have that. I believe it is better to loose slowly. That way one can change their life habits and mold themselves into a Healthier thinking person.

For me I need to change my brain to not want the comfort foods. So far I have lost my desire for Sweets. Ice cream just does not sound good to me and Chocolate is something I am not always thinking of. The sensa states the it will make the carbs and sweets lest appealing as well as get me the full feeling. That is seems to do.

Like as mention last time this is a Six month program. I am excited about this program. Awaiting my next two month supply.

Even Keel-----Easy Goes It!

We are on an even keel, that means no lost no gain. Now I do not like this stage, it is so hard to get motivated. However I could look at it in a positive view. With the holidays here and being able to maintain a current weight.... is a good thing. Most folk gain 5 to 10 pounds during this season.
We are watching what we eat but allowing ourselves to enjoy the festive foods.
Today I will set up the Wii Active 2. I am hoping that I will be able to set up a routine and stick to it! I think I will like this one due to the ability to monitor my heart rate. My goal is not to gain a single pound during the holidays.

Doctors visit....At Wits End!

Yesterday was the Doctors visit. Not good news! Daughters weight is not going down, just on a yo-yo mode. I am at wits end, so tired of arguing with her on food issues. Poor choices and the sweets are two main issue with her. I cook healthy food, she just refuses to eat it. The sad thing is she just doesn't see it. For some reason it is in her head that she doesn't want to try new things. As far as Veggies, Just not on her to eat list. The Doctor told her she needs to open her horizons and find some common ground on the veggies and control the amount of carbs (sugary things) .
Sometimes being a Mom sucks! cooking healthy and try to raise healthy kids is tough in this commercial world of Sugary things. It seem that the world market is to the American Sweet touch. What is this, Don't they realize that this is causing health issues. Oh I know they are trying to decrease the sugar, however that is not the answer! They just eat more of it!

My teen daughter has PCOS and her weight is causing problem with her cycles. She is not having them now. The Doctor believes it is because of her weight. Although She has had test; No diabetes, no thyroid problems, Hormone levels are slightly down and she has a perfect blood pressure and pulse. so there you have it, they think weight is the culprit. I not sure however. We will do one more round of hormone and try to loose the weight in three months.

Now for me.. I am doing well, loosing the weight , on track to healthier me. BP is down also. Now down to 182. working toward 6 pounds a month. So in four months I should be close to my desired weight. Planning on increasing the exercise plan, have a personal trainer now, so that should make it easier.

Hubby is on a low carb diet, he says it works for him. So we will see, daughter says he has some non Carb diet food in his car. Oh well, I can't control him! So you see my household is in trouble with their weight.
I am the healthiest of all of them, so I am going to plan a vacation to Egypt. Because I can do the walking and hiking, they just poop out. Looking for a travel mate for myself. I need some one who can enjoy the trip and not get poop out so quickly!
