Re-Introduction Tory

[Guest guest]

Are we reintroducing ourselves?

Well why not!?

Hey all! I'm Tory. I've been on Weight Watchers since February of 2002 and

have lost (as of today) 107.6 pounds. I met my goal weight of 130 in

December of 2002, my personal goal weight of 120 in January 2003, and have

maintained my " happy, but I'm sure it won't last forever " weight of around

115 since June 2003. I maintain by continuing to journal and count points

every single day. I believe that there is no such thing as " off program " and

never do go off program. I plan for high days and use my flexpoints and

activity points, but if I'm out of points I'm out of points just like if I'm

out of money, I don't go shopping.

I used to be a complete couch potato...and I mean COMPLETE couch potato. I'd

get home from work, park in front of my computer and TV, and that was the

evening. Now I exercise every day and enjoy running, weightlifting,

swimming, and biking. I competed in two triathlons this summer and one half

marathon this last Monday. I'm training for a full marathon in November.

I'm married to Roy, my high school sweetheart. We're both teachers at the

high school from which we graduated. He teaches drama and English. I teach

IT classes (network administration I and II, A+ Computer Maintenance and

Repair, and Advanced A+ Internship) and Family Health. We have no children;

God did not choose to bless us. But we both love our jobs, adore our

students, and put a great deal of time and effort into making sure that

every student leaves our classes feeling like valued, educated people.

We have two silly dogs, two funky cats, and two gorgeous corn snakes. We

enjoy travelling (went to Norway and England this summer), all things

Disney, fitness, movies, going to see plays (we saw " Hairspray " last night

for the second time), concerts, and just plain having a good time together.

So that's me in a nutshell!

WOW Tori., you have lost a lot., almost 1/2 yourself as you stand... that is

soooooooo remarkable., you must be a teenie thing. I applaud you, what a

journey that must have been. You seem to be such an upbeat person..

I just jumped on board the list.... I'm a lifer 7-11-00, originally lost 40 lbs

.... been doing pretty good for the most part..... fluctuate 5 pounds here and

there. Have not gone to meetings in a while and was interested in the Flex &

Core Plan so went to a meeting last week.

Hobbies are weight lifting and exercise, jogging with my dogs . I'm an

exercise aholic for about 19 years. Love to crochet and paint as well. Hubby

and I have 3 dogs all terriers, 4 horses, 4 cats and an awesome 18 y/o son who

starts college the end of September to become a CPA. Hubby is a CPA and I mow

lawns in the summer and help during tax season... fast coming up...

Look forward to meeting everyone.
