Taylor - Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry: A Literature Unit From $8 Olivier Dunrea - Ollie From $7 The Bottom Line My weight chart would look like an ECG.:-) 1. What is your current Weight? (optional) A metric ton. 2. What is your goal weight, or how many pounds do you want to lose? Less that a metric ton. 3. Are you currently on a diet regimen? If so which one? Weight Watcher's. 4. When did you begin your current plan and how's it going so far? About 28 years ago. No, seriously. I started the point system about two years ago, but I am a lifetime member of Weight Watchers and DID start in 1977. 5. What other diets (if any) have you tried in the past? What were the results? Counting Calories AIDS Grapefruit diet One meal a day diet Chromium Picolinate Fruit Diet Water Diet Juice diet TV Dinner Diet Canned Soup Diet No bread diet (not Adkins) Diet Center T.O.P.S. Planned Menu Diet Finally Weight Watcher's I lost weight on them all and reached goal with Weight Watcher's, but in the past 7 years my health has not let me diet like I wanted to due to anemia and other problems. I am finally where I can diet again and have lost 67 pounds so far. 6. Do you include exercise with your diet? If so what activities or workouts are you performing? Sure do. I swim which is all I can do because of my arthritis. 7. What was your most dramatic weight loss? Probably what I've lost right now. 8. Have you ever gained back the weight after a diet? If so why? Oh, yeah. I thought that was part of the process.:-) It was how I lost weight that made me gain it back. I did it all wrong. I would starve myself. I would rely on pills and nothing is better than a well balanced diet of all the foods you love. I had to learn that the hard way. 9. Out of the following: Neck, arms, legs, calves, abs, shoulders, back, chest...which do you feel is most defined? Oh, you can see all of that on me quite well.:-) 10. Which area from the above mentioned do you feel needs the most work? All of it. 11. What is your impression of the "real women" ads you see on billboards advertising skin care products (women in white bras and underwear posing and smiling)? I think they should quit feeding that to the public. There is no such thing as a perfect body. Only air brushed ones or computer enhanced. I am a nurse and was also in gym class in the days of gang showers. I can tell you with all the bods I've seen they all had flaws. These magazines sell lies. They don't sell a true body. If they did it would include scars, moles, and stretch marks. But because there are young people and naive people out there, they buy into this and begin a bad body image. That's what I think.:-)
