All About Me

If you're visiting my humble abode in the PRB, you're probably here from Hilly's site. Welcome!

Here's a little bit about myself - the basic stats:

Name: Stephanie (or Steph)

Relationship Status - Going through a divorce
Job - IT related
Current Weight: 176.6
Goal Weight: 135ish


About my weight loss journey. I started Weight Watchers in January 2001. I lost 46lbs in about a year and half and was at my all time low (150.8) right before I got married in June 2002. Since then I've gained as much as 26lbs of it back, but have hovered mainly in the 160's for the last several years. It seems that when I get back to about 175 is when I kick my butt into gear and try to get back on track again. I normally get back into the 160's and sometimes even in the lower end, but never make it back into the 150's. Well, I'm back at that point again where I need to get back on track. Last Friday I actually weighed in at 176.6 - although I had seen 178 on the scale a few days before.

My goal weight. My unofficial goal is to get down to 135-ish. I've never been thin, so I really have no idea what I should weigh and what will look good on me. My Mom and sister have both done WW before and they look really good around 132-135. I'm thinking that I'll probably be good around 135-138 just because I do strength training and will hopefully have a little more muscle on me than they did when they got to goal.

My exercise. Although my eating has been horrible for a long time, I've been exercising on a pretty conisitent basis for the last month or so. I use The Firm at home and absolutely love it. It combines everything I need to get in shape. I see amazing results when I am regularly working out, unfortunately I can't seem to stick with it long enough to get to goal. I think about 3 months is the longest I've made it before just completely falling off the workout wagon.

What else is there to know about me? I am really shy in person, but once I get to know you, I will share anything with you. More than you probably want to know. LOL. I like to go hiking on the weekends, read books (mainly chic lit right now, but also like Dean Koontz type books too), I just started needlepointing (to keep me out of the kitchen), and I love to sing. Unfortunately for me and everyone else around me, my singing is terrible. I think I'm pretty much tone deaf. So if you see some crazy girl singing at the top of her lungs in her, that's probably me. :-)

If you've read this far, thank you very much, and hopefully you'll leave me a comment to let me know you were here. Can't wait to get to know everyone!
