Well, I am above 150 at the moment, unfortunately. Going on Mirena really screwed me up, but as of this morning, it looks like I finally broke my year-plus long plateau/weight gain streak. It will be official on Sunday if it holds.

Hi Renee, stumbled across your blog while looking for points values for Weight Watchers stuff… long story… I am also 5’3″ and started losing around 175 lbs, got down to 164, back to 165, now I’m 163… Would love to break 150 and look as good as you! Good luck, you can do this!

Yes, definitely. I know there are reasons for healthy eating and exercise beyond weight and body shape. And, honestly, I don’t think I can stop. I have a bit of an addiction to exercise. I do get that endorphin rush from it and all. I’m just so annoyed with my body, you know?

I can understand the frustration over the weight. Does working out make you feel better in general though? I find that when I’m working out I feel happier and healthier all around.

I’m totally an hourglass and I’m OK with that. I like my SHAPE, just not my size. Or where some of the fat deposits (hello, top rear of my hips!!!). Oh well. There’s only so much control I have, right?

I need to get down to see your parents very soon. Things have been crazy up here. Let me know if you plan on a trip so I can see you guys, too!

Enjoy your day.

LOL! Thanks for the shout out. I would never think you “struggled” unless you wrote about it. I have some events coming up and I desperately want to lose some weight too. Re: our teeny tiny ancestors…you grandmother, my aunt Evy, was TEENY. I have a pair of her long leather gloves. I could not put a toe in them, let alone my hand. She was SO little. My mom was a size 2 when she got married (Oh, and that was a REAL 2, not like 2s of today). When I was growing up, she had to watch her weight. Wea rea shaped differently. But over the past few years she has shrunk to nothing. She is almost fraile, she is so little. I am made of my dad’s Hungarian stock!! Curves on top and bottom. Oh well, I am off to work. Have a good day and don’t let the number on the scale define you or your value! XXOO

I’d kill for 111. It’s crazy, though. We’re related through such teeny, tiny women! Why didn’t we inherit that gene? Anyway, I think you’re gorgeous and always did. I would never think you’re overweight. We’re always so much harder on ourselves. I just wish I had an explanation for why the scale won’t move and that it was something easy to fix.

Well, I know you are not huge!! Neither am I. But I exercise religiously and try to eat healthy. It is in my genes, I think. I was not meant to be a skinny mini, despite my 5″1′ frame. A girl with ciurves. I have had this concern most of my life. In the 9th grade , I went to weight watchers. I was the same height I am now. I weighed 111 on my first weighin. I thought I was going to DIE at that weight! What I would give for 111 now!???!!!!???!!
