Weigh In Wednesday

We had a "dark week" last week, so when I weighed in this week, it was for a two week time period.  I have lost another 1.2 pounds.   I'm just starting to notice some of my clothes fitting differently.... my jeans with the spandex that I wear the most, must have been stretched just about to their max when i started this process,  because they aren't falling off of me yet, LOL.  I did wear a pair of non-stretch jeans last week, and they were loose on me.   PROGRESS!  My overall measurements haven't changed too much yet,  but it will happen eventually.

Another Wednesday comes and goes... and even though I pigged out on Valentines Day... and then just a few days later we went to the coast with friends and I totally pigged out at the buffet at the casino for two meals, and topped it off with wine and snacks.... I managed to lose .8 pounds this last week!  I've lost a total of 7 pounds in 6 weeks.

I wore a pair of "skinny" jeans yesterday... I was ready to peel them off by the time I got off work, but I did wear them all day without having "zipper lines" on my tummy. 

My dear sweet husband asked me if I'd lost 15 pounds so far.... LOL... just how overweight did he think I was?  LOL 

I need to drink more water, and exercise more.... good thing gardening season is just around the coner. 


Weigh In Wednesday

 I'm now on week 5.... and I've lost a total of 6.2 pounds.  I missed weigh -in last week, due to a sore throat and ear ache that kept me home from work.  

I've been through my birthday, superbowl, Valentine's Day, and  I've still managed to lose.   Weekends continue to be the hardest, 'cuz Mike's favorite meal is a big breakfast, and we love to spend time with friends, enjoying a glass of wine and eating out. 

I know there has to be a happy medium out there for me... so as long as I can continue to head in the right direction,  I'll be happy with 
                                 progress, whether great or small.

Weigh in Wednesday

Another week gone by.... and considering it was my birthday last week,  I feel like did pretty darn good!  I really used the points for dinner on Saturday,  but I brought 2/3 of my crab fettucini home from the restaurant and rather than stack those points on,  decided to just let it go.   The cheese/garlic focaccia bread was probably 10 points... but is sure was yummy.  


I've just about rolled into a routine of getting veggies cut and bagged while fixing dinner so that I can just grab them for lunch and snacks... and my hunger?   I'm really not hungry... at least not any more than before.  I still have that horrible witching hour between about 3:30 and dinner where I'm looking for something, but so far I've been behaving myself. 

Weight loss for the week was 1.2 pounds for a total of 5.8 pounds this month!  YEAH!

Weigh in Wednesdays

 I have officially started Weight watchers!    It is free with our insurance package at work, so it's pretty hard to argue with that... and I must do something to keep the scales from climbing.  

 My first weigh in was yesterday, and while I wasn't trying to keep one foot off the scale... I did wear my shoes for the first weigh in....

I threatened to put a few D cell batteries in my pockets... but decided against it.

My starting weight?   182.2..... with clothes...  when I got home and used my home scale... it said I was 178 with the same clothes.... so  I have a 4 pound scale discrepency... guess I need to figure out how to adjust the digital at home..... somehow....

I'm going to try post my progress here on a regular basis..... 


My goal weight?   I'm thinking about 150 would feel great..... if I could get there and keep it off.  

I'm off to try to find one of those tracker gidget gadget things.....
