Default Hi all, new here

Hi I'm a Dutch woman in her late 30ies, I used to use Fitday (last entry was from 2004 lol) and I decided it would be good to use it once again cos I gained all my lost weight back over the years. I am a good 25 pounds overweight, 5 ft 7, with the dreaded apple shape, due to genetics and a predisposition to comfort eat carbs and sugars cos of anxiety and general feelings of tension.

I go for a run 3 times a week on a good week, but need new shoes soon cos lately I've been starting to feel a lil sore in the knees after a run.

My preferred diet would be to shun liquid calories, been drinking Oolong tea since Dr Oz says its good for you lol, and focus on natural foods such as fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

However I dont want to be a "skinny fat" person so I have to work on my bodyfat percentage as well, it is sky high right now, per my Tanita scales, tho I know thats not very trustworthy it says at least something...?

Been thinking of getting the Winsor Pilates excelerated body sculpting dvd or whatever its name is, I heard from an aquaintance that she had great results using it.

Also I try implement the advice from the book "Eating Less" by Gillian Riley
and try to accept where I am now, which must be the hardest part of it all...


Good to be back!!

Greetz, Lisa

Default Hi all new here


Hello Outthere

I am new to this fitday. To introduce myself. I lost 80#s and became a lifetime member of WW. Over the yearss I gained it back. I'm now finding that losing it the second time is quite bit more difficult. I will make it back to a more healthy weight.
I am now going to the gym and doing a moderate work out, at least 3 times a week. Trying to use the things I learned in Weightwatchers. Will check back later.
