Connie is a young mom, whose weight has definitely impacted her life. She is ready to be healthy and energetic! Her story: “I have trouble doing activities with my two children. My 8 year old is a special needs child and I get very tired trying to keep up with her. My 10 year old is very aware of my size and is cautious about her weight. I do not look forward to weekends because my family wants to do something fun, and I find myself sitting out or not going.
I need to get healthy for my kids and for me. I want to be around to see them grow. Right now, I feel like I am on the outside of the world looking in.
328 lbs

good week I guess… I would like to know what kind of screening process Dr. Laura does to get his new employees. It seems like you cant go wrong whom ever you get to weigh you in. I drag myself in the office wishing I had worked out more or something, but they encourage me in everything. As I type I am makeing Dr.L’s stuffed cabbage rolls, mmmmmm I’ll let you know how they taste
sorry down 2 lbs….yyeeaa
wow, these weeks seem to be going faster and faster. I have shed 2.6pounds. that’s good, but I have to say I was totaly worried because Dr. L said I wasnt eating enough. So I ate more (who wouldnt like that) but the right things. So I was happy about that.
I am having some (sorry, but I should talk about it) bathroom problems….yea I know.
It’s been going on for a while. This could be a reason for no weight loss as well….SOOOO…
with Dr. Laura’s program, they have thought of everything.
Now, I have never had a problem in this area, so it is a big deal for me. Dr. L (Leonhardt) suggested I get the triple mag supplement.
It’s a magnesium supplement that helps this move along. In a good way. No chemicals or forgein things in it.
So there u go. This is a problem I have been dealing with for a while. And yes the girls will ask me how’s that going. I know……but it is important.
Think about it…how much are you taking in in a day? How much should be leaving?
ttfn…….keep it moving…(hahaha.. usually i’m talking about your body, but….)
well this last visit was an eye opener…All I have to say is Dr.Leonhardt is amazing. I have been up and down up and down…you know the “normal” weight cycle…..As I have said I have been turning in my food journal just for my benefit. They do not make you do that but it helps me be more accountable. Dr. l has been reviewing them. She asked me to read what a serving of a specific item was on the list. I was reading it as 3 protein and on the list per serving size that item was 1/2 protein. So basically I have been starving myself….when you dont give your body enough it will eat away the muscle and save the fat, starvation mode……..wwhhhaaaaaaatttt. so there, answers my questions. Why on the weeks I ate MORE I lost and the weeks I ate less I lost very little or gained. So I guess I need to really make sure I am reading the list correctly. The more I visit this office the more I see they truly want you to succeed. And they are amazing
wow, another week down ( you know I used to say back when I was trying on my own to do this, If I had stayed with it when I made those promises, you know…..those promises…. I’ll start Monday or today and I would but a month or two later. Still the same weight or gained some. I would then think If only…….If only I had stayed w/ it if only I had not binged that one day, I may have lost …….or I would be feeling better, I would think so negatively of myself). I have to say time does pass by quickly. Exen when you work out. When I went on my family holiday I gained 11pounds..wow, thats alot. It wasnt worth it though. It has taken me this long to get it off. I have shed 1/6th of a pound. what…….i know i cheated right…nope.
I have been keeping a food journal that the office gives me. now for me I need that extra accountability. I am honest on it, if i eat what I shouldnt I put it down. Dr L she does review it during her week and gets back with me. She’ll make notes in the folder to tell me. Like my very own nutritionist.
I have to say when I found out I was going to the St.Pete office I was bummed, but now having gone I wouldnt go anywhere else. Dr. Leonhardt is the most amazing person. She is a welth of information. She has gone through this program, she STILL uses the program. It’s a great great program…> there will come a time when I will be off the suppressant’s and I had better of learned how to eat right.
The office staff is beyond fantastic.
So I say all that cause my visit yesterday I was told I am not eating enough…….bbbwwwaaaahhhaaaa…I thought….well If you dont eat enough you body will hold onto the weight as well.
so now i am off to re-evaluate my menu, and try more of DR.L’s great recipes…..have a great week
Hey…. a half a pound is a half a pound…. at least you are not going up!!!!!! Don’t get discouraged!!! You’re doing GREAT!!!!
another week done, nothing to exciting, wanted a bigger loss, BUT it was only 1/2#. knowing I was bummed Dr. L came out and said 10# in 3 weeks great job. I was like ?????!!!!! whaaa….. She goes on to say, give your body some time to catch up to itself. O.K I thought, I guess I shouldnt feel to bad then, It went down and not up. Till next week. TTFN!!!!!!!
weelllll. shed a big 1.6#…I know Iknow I should’nt complain, but I want to. So right now I am at 256.6 I would like to drop 7ish pounds for next week then I would be at 249… That seems a good number. Especially comming from 328. So till next week, I’ll watch my portions, sugars and maybe up my cardio….we’ll shall see. I wanna make Weight Away proud. No more playing around, this is for the future of my health and sanity. TTFN>>>>eat right and MOVE YOUR BODY this week.
Great job Connie….. WOW…. 8 lbs in one week!!! that is fabulous!!! Way to get back on track!!!
much better week, much much better. Down 8#, sounds good eh? I forgot to mention in December I ran my first 5k, yep a 5k. It was a little harder than I expected onlt because of the “hills” and bridge we ran up and down. BUT I did not finish last, that was my goal. I was 3min behind my training time. I a not going to complain about it. It was cold ranning and the hills. I enjoyed the atmosphere of being around the other athletic ppl. They were at all diffrent levels of being fit. I will be doing another one though. till next week peeps………..stay moving……eat right……
wow I should have proof read better, sorry about the miss spelling’s.
not to good this week. the holiday got me. The feeling I have from not pushing myself harder and letting down the team at the office, is one of sadness, regret and embarrassment. But as nice as DR. L’s office is overwhelming. I wasnt shuned or looked down on, but i wasnt coddled either. Thats not what i need. Back on track, redirected and ready for the week.
