Twenty gone

I finally reached one my main goes.......losing 20#!!   it's such a great feeling!!!  Now I only have 80# more.........it's going to take a long time, but that's ok.........if it comes off slow I have a better chance of keeping the weight off!   16.5 pounds and I am in onderland..........I haven't been there for YEARS!  I can't even imagine what it will feel like!!!!  I am noticing that some of my shirts are getting kind of big on me.......love that!!   So it's been a good day!!!:) 

Vacation

Well vacation is now over!:(  We have been back from our road trip for several days, but it still felt like vacation because of dd and dh being home.  We had a great time, and lots of good food!ha   I really tried hard to keep to my points, but with some of the places that we ate it was almost impossible. Plus I could not refuse some of the very yummy food!!   But I am happy to report that my weight was down today for weigh in!!  I am down a total of 18.1 pounds!!  I can't wait to hit the 20# mark.........it's just around the corner!!  And then once I hit that goal, my next goal is to hit the 10% weight loss mark. My target daily points went down for WW as well, so that's progress!!  So a good Monday over all!! 

Making Progress

The progress is slow, but it's steady!  Today the scale said 219, which is great!! That would be a 17.5 loss!   I am not logging it though because I just don't believe it yet!LOL  If it's still there tomorrow morning I will happily log it, but until I see that number for 2 days I won't feel comfy!  I am getting closer to onederland!  I know part of my problem is lack of exercise and water.   So I have increased my water intake, but I still HATE exercising!LOL  I don't think that will ever change!!  Once the weather warms up I will be able to take daily walks with my daughter. But until then I am not very motivated to exercise! 

well that's all I have to report!:)  Next week we are going on vacation and I am hoping I can stick to my WW points!  We have talked about the various places we are going to eat, so I have an estimate of points that I will use!  Just keeping my fingers crossed that I can stick with it!!  I am thinking of packing my scale so I can monitor my weight daily!!!LOL   Until next time....

Thursday

Good Morning!  I haven't blogged recently because I just haven't had much to report on my weight loss/gain.   Monday was weigh in for WW and I was down a pound, not as much as I wanted, but as long as it's down I will take it!   I have been a little aggravated with my scales.......I replaced the battery thinking that might be the problem, but that didn't seem to help.  The other day I got on the scales and it had me at 219#.......I was ready to pick it up and kiss it!LOL  But I knew that couldn't be possible because just the day before it had read 224#, so I got off and back on, and it went up to 222#, so I got off again and back on and it was up to 226#......I did this a bit more and had me back up to 228.5#, which would have been a gain at that point!!  I am beginning to think this digital scale is just not accurate!!  My wonderful dh bought me the old fashioned dial one, none of that high tech digital stuff!LOL  I am not sure how accurate those are though......anyone know?  I figure it must be pretty accurate since you can zero it in every time before you get on it!  Anyway, it usually weighs me 3 pounds less then the digital and even more when the digital has gone wacky and has me gain a pound a minute!! I love the dial one though because it's reading me at 220# this morning, which would be SUPER!!!  So I don't know which one to believe!!!

I did some shopping last friday!  I needed a new pair of jeans, and I was very happy that i was able to get in a pair 2 sizes smaller then what I had been buying!!!WOO HOO What's funny is I took back 3 pairs, all the same size.....one fit perfect, one a little snug,and the 3rd one wouldn't go up over my big hips and butt!  Love the sizing consistancy!!hehe    And I was able to get tops that were a size smaller!!  That felt good.  I bought several of the shirts since they were on clearance at Kohls for 3.60!!!  Can't beat that!!LOL 

Well hope everyone has a happy Thursday!!  I hope to be a better blogger and write more frequently and keep up with my friends blogs!!!  There just isn't enough time in a day sometimes!:)

Sunday

Well my scale is not being nice to me this weekend!!LOL  I don't think I will make my goal of 15 pounds by the end of this month.  But that will not get me down...I will keep trying!!! I do want to purchase a piece of exercise equipment, any suggestions?  I was thinking elliptical, but not sure!  I have a treadmill, I just get bored with it, and wanted something else to help me along!  Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

Staying motivated

I had my weigh in yesterday and was at 225.5!!  That's down 11 pounds, so I am extremely happy!!!  My goal is to be down 15 by the last day of the month. I think that is reachable goal as long as I stay on track....only 4 more pounds to the goal line!!  The last couple of days I have just been so darn hungry!!  I am staying with in my points, and refuse to go over no matter HOW hungry I might be!  Thank goodness for 1 point snacks that I can eat and at least take the edge off my hunger and desire for chocolate.  Hope everyone is having a great week so far!!!

Close

My goal was to be down 10# by yesterday, and I was actually down 9.5#!!  So close!!!  I am thrilled with the amount of weight i have lost so far, and continue to be extremely motivated!!  WW is truly a new way of living versus actually dieting.  I really need to start working on my water intake. I can usually get about 32-48oz in a day, but I would like to get that up to 64oz!  So my goals for the next 4 weeks is to lose 10.5#, that would equal 20# for 2 months, and then to also increase my water intake!!:)  I can do it!!! 

Week 3 of WW

Today is my official 3rd week of weight watchers, so I had to get on the scale and see how it was going!  I am happy to report I am down 8 pounds!!!!  I had gained a pound on Monday, and was pretty discouraged,  but that also motivated me to work a little harder and exercise a little more and it's paid off!!!  I can now see that my goal of 10 pounds for the first month is possible!!!I I also have a wonderful support group in my family and friends.......that keeps the motivation going as well!  I will be skinnier for my trip to Myrtle beach in July!!yeah!!!

Monday Weigh In

Today is my weigh in for weight watchers. Unfortunately I gained 1.5 pounds, but I expected that since the scale didn't move all week.  I dont feel that I over ate or changed anything I was doing.  I did cut back on my water intake so that could be part of the problem.  Either way, I am not going to let it get me down and will remain positive that next week the numbers will go down!:)   I received my weight watchers order in the mail over the weekend.  I had ordered a couple of their books......dining out companion and food companion book, and also the weight tracking calculator.  Very nice products! The dining out book is going to be so nice to have when I need it!!!

time to get moving!!  hope everyone has a great week!

frustrated friday

Good Afternoon!!!  I was hoping to have a bigger weight loss by the end of the week, but instead I have stayed the same, or it has flucuated up a pound.  Hopefully next week will be a little better!!

We had several inches of snow overnight, so today it was nice and pretty outside!  School was called off so I got to enjoy the day with my little girl!!  I love when they have snow days!! 

well not much else to say!!  Best of luck to all on their journey to smaller numbers!!!
