A New Direction

So in order to keep my poor little blog alive, I’ve decided to switch gears and take things in a new direction. My last attempt with “adventures in chucktown” was okay, but the truth is I don’t have that many adventures specifically related to chucktown. Something that I DO have a lot of adventures with, is the battle of the bulge. So yes, this will be another one of “those” weight loss blogs but I’m hoping that it can just maybe be the slightest bit helpful to anyone going through the same trials and tribulations of losing weight. It will mostly revolve around the Weight Watchers Points Plus plan but will also have fun tips, recipes, victories and new ideas!


So without further ado, (I’m already anxious/excited to get started) a little background story to bring things up to date…



Ever since I was a kid, I've always been bigger than all of my peers, had to shop at the "big girl" stores, and dreaded swimsuit season. I feel as though i have basically run the gauntlet when it comes to dieting, from crash diets to pills, shakes, bars, no carbs, etc. I've just about tried them all with little to no success. Until I started Weight Watchers (ahhhh shining golden beams of light), I had never realized that it IS possible to eat and live like a real person while still losing weight. It has opened my eyes so much more to the importance of balance and simply making better choices about what I put in my body. And I am now at the point where I only have the last 20lbs to go before reaching my ultimate goal weight (which i have never met in my adult life)! Good news right? Well, not exactly. Those last several pounds can be the most difficult to lose, especially when you have a post 25 year old metabolism (yea, no one ever warned me about that one, thanks a lot mother nature.) But I am bound and determined to do it this time and I am confident that Weight Watchers is going to get me there!



So here goes (for the millionth time), stay tuned for all things weight loss and the journey to a smaller me!
