Weight Watchers Update

Ok, so I know it's been 2 weeks since I've posted results, but last week was really crappy (I gained 2 pounds) and So I had nothing to say. And the week before I lost, but just wasn't in the mood. So this was the last week of my 10 weeks. Here are my final results:

Down 13.6 pounds. Woo hoo. Let's throw a party! In 10 weeks I lost almost 10% of my body weight! And I am not finished. Even though it has been EXTREMELY tough I am going to continue on the program on my own. I hope by my brother's wedding June 26th, I will have met my target weight of 130 pounds. I have 16 pounds to go in about a month so I'll doubt I'll meet it by then but hopefully I will have gotten closer to it!And the even better news is I get my 75% refund! Double woo hoo!

This weekend is the bachelorette party so I am will be going out of town. I have a few posts that should post over the weekend...more of the 30 day challenge. It has given me something to write about! And hopefully I will have some debauchery to discuss after the weekend!

Hope everyone has a great weekend...I know I will!

Weight Watchers Week 7

So I’m a few days late in posting this but it’s been a pretty crazy week. The beginning of my week started and I had absolutely NO motivation. I didn’t work out Friday through Sunday and in my head it clicked on Monday that I needed to get my buns in gear. So I re-started the 30 Day Shred. I did it on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. And on Tuesday I did a double-dose of exercise and walked almost 4 miles with my mom after her birthday dinner. So I felt like the exercise front got covered even though I was less than motivated each day. The eating has continued on the same path but I knew that just eating better was not going to show me the weight loss that I knew I wanted to see. So drumroll please………..

Last week: 150.6
This week: 148.4
Weight loss for the week: 2.2 pounds!
Total weight loss in the last 7 weeks: 11.4 pounds!

So I am continuing to see a weight loss which I am definitely digging but I know that I need to continue to stay motivated. Or at least, if not motivated at least force myself to continue on the fight. Because I know I need it!

Weight Watchers Week 6

Ok. So last week was a challenge, this week was a success! I felt like I got right back on track after last weeks functions that I had to attend and I really felt like I was going to see it on the scale. Welp I did!

Starting: 159.8
Last week: 152.4
This week: 150.6
Down 1.8 pounds for the week, 9.2 pounds overall!

That's pretty dang exciting for me! I really would have like to push it to 149.8 so I can say I've lost 10 pounds but 9 is fine for me! And I have 4 weeks left to lose the additional 3 to get my reimbursement so I am continuing on my path. I've really been thinking hard about setting a goal that I am looking to achieve overall. And looking at my chart for height and ideal goal, the top weight is 137 pounds. I think I would like my weight to be at 130 pounds. So basically I have 20 pounds left to lose and I know it will be a tough journey but ideally (and realistically) I think 130 pounds will be the best for me.

So overall...great week! I will be keeping my momentum and knowing that I can achieve my goal! have a great day!

Weight Watchers week 3

Ok. So done with week 3. I guess technically because they consider your 1st meeting your first week then this would be week 4, but because this was my 3rd weigh in from the start I am considering it week 3! I have seen a lot of changes mentally and physically.

Starting weight: 159
Last week: 153
This week: 152
Total weight loss: 7.4 pounds

A few things that have changed in the last 3 weeks that I have been participating in weight watchers. I have been much better about choosing foods that fit in a well balanced diet instead of just choosing whatever is in front of me. I have also really cut back on portion control. I have realized that the amount of food that we consume on an everyday basis is ridiculously out of whack! But sometimes I miss those ridiculously sized portions! I have also gotten better about making myself workout. Even if it is just stepping on my wii board for 20-30 minutes. Instead of just sitting on my rear watching tv with the hubby I have decided that I will use that time to embarrass myself in front of him! I’m just kidding, I don’t embarrass myself…well sometimes when my clumsy self trips while trying to step and watch tv! And I even went on a walk during my lunch hour yesterday! I sweated (but not too much!) and got completely windblown, but I knew that I wouldn’t get home until 8:30 and I probably wouldn’t want to work out when I got home, so I figured I should. I went to a park that is right across from where I work and walked 2 laps around it. It only took 30 minutes so I even had a little time for myself. But my most favorite change is the one where people see me and comment about weight loss. I had a regular customer come in last night and she asked me if I had lost weight. I don’t always see it when I look in the mirror so a change noticeable enough where a customer notices is nice. I have also had my mother and my dear sister-in-law (to be) make comments. And they feel good! I appreciate them as long as they are sincere and not forced! I may not have lost as much weight this week but I am still motivated! So week 3 and still going strong!

I have a lot going on this weekend (a bridal shower and of course Easter in Dodge) so I probably won't be posting as much or even being able to respond to other posts so I hope everyone has a happy Easter and I will be back next week!

Weight Watchers Friday Week 3

So week 3.

Starting weight: 159
Last week: 156
This week: 153

Woo hoo! Down another 3 pounds! As I was looking through my tracker for the week I realized that there was only 1 day that I went over on my points and it was only by 2 points! That was even with me being home from Thursday through Sunday. And I made delicious ribs on Sunday. So there were definitely challenges that I have overcome. I have had to really rely on my willpower because there were definitely days that I could have eaten a lot more! There were also days that I realized how big serving sizes are! I doubled up on the amount of ice cream I ate one night. Usually I can eat 1/2 cup of peanut butter cookie dough ice cream for 4 points. I had extra points because I had worked out and hadn't eaten many points so I decided to eat a full cup. Wow, that was a lot of ice cream! So, morale of the story...just because you have the extra points does not mean you need to eat them all! haha! But the ice cream was good!
