Well, after this weekend, I decided I really can't do this on my own. I haven't been tracking points although I havae been aware of what and how much I am eating. Anyway, I signed back up for WW online on Monday. The fact that they had a discount prompted me. I weighed 158 that morning and WI yesterday 153.5. I know it was a lot of water weight from the weekend.
I signed back up because I need the accountability. I'm only 9.5 lbs. over my goal weight, and I know if I focus, it will come off. Als…

Well, it looks like the Easter candy won once again. I weighed in this morning and it was 155.5, so I've gained 3 lbs I think since my last post. Oh, well, I started the day well and had a great plan even before WI. After WI, I went for a 30 min walk - 2 miles. Came home and made my
berry oatmeal for breakfast and a hot cup of chai tea (no milk) with stevia. That should hold me until well after lunch. I love the fact…

Well, yesterday was my 1 year anniversary on WW. I hit goal on 11/26 @ 144. Yesterday I weighed 155. I've gained 11 pounds in a little over 4 months. No big surprise, really. I haven't been journaling or paying attention to what I am eating - actually that's not true, I've been paying attention but was in denial and, quite honestly, I was rebelling. Well, now I am paying for it.
I had a great OP day yesterday, although I ate right before bed. The thing is: I know what I need to do, now I just ne…

Well, although I was determined to get a walk in, my husband ended up working until 1 am. Needless to say, a little too late for a walk. I did, however, take the kids and the dogs for a quick walk/bikeride. We needed to get out.
Hopefully I will get the chance this evening after we get home from my husband's birthday dinner.

Ok, it's getting nicer here - the streets are clear of ice and snow and it's a balmy 35 out. Although it's my husband's birthday (yes, I made a cake), I want to go for a walk to help motivate my butt. I know he won't care - we're going out for dinner tomorrow to celebrate since he works late tonight. I will keep you posted on the outcome.

My 1 year anniversary is April 6th. It's been a long time since I posted. I hit goal in November (144) and today I weighed myself and it said 153.5. I was actually surprised thinking it would be closer to 160. I feel disgusting. On top of it, I have broken out in horrible adult acne (never had a problem before). AND I am to sing at a prayer concert/meeting for the flood at the Fargo Theater this Saturday. I have no idea what I will wear for that, everything is quite snug. As Azad told me, I need…

After the holidays I gained a whopping 6 lbs. I was very mortified. I am currently 3 pounds over goal. I feel like a failure in some way. I think it's more that I am still so out of shape and, quite frankly, could stand to lose a little more weight around my mid section and butt and hips. But maybe with exercise that will come. I just don't have the motivation. It is so blasted cold and I like to sleep. Maybe I can get motivated soon. We'll see. Maybe spring will come............

Ok, so I hit goal on the day before Thanksgiving. 50 lbs. in 8 months gone. Now that I've done it I think I have free reign to eat all day or something. I baked a TON of cookies for a cookie exchange and have eaten the majority of the cookies. We are currently snowed in with this huge blizzard we are having. It's currently -8 with winds at 30 mph making the wind chills near -33. Needless to say, we are homebound with cookies and other crap. I have only gained 1 lb. since I hit goal, but because…

Ok, I haven't posted in a very long time, but I wanted to let you know that I hit goal!! I officially hit goal the day before Thanksgiving (talk about timing! LOL). It took a long time to shed that last .5 lb, but it finally let go. I am at 144.5 this morning, but I haven't been journaling for quite a while. I need to get back into it to help maintain during the holidays. It is so cold out now, all I want to do is sleep and eat. Great combo for losing weight, huh?? I really need to add excercise…

I maintained this week. I am content with that. However, the scale said 143 this moring, which is 1 lb. BELOW my goal. Whoohoo!! It's not official, though, since WI was yesterday. Once it is official, I will post some pictures of the transformation. Can't wait for you to see those. I need to get some permission from a couple of people to post, though. Anyway, have a great week and hopefully I will be below goal. We are cutting back on unnecessary expenses and I think the online tools may be the…

WI today. Down 1 pound. Half a pound to go. The scale said 144 when I weighed in, but then said 144.5. I'll stick with that. I had a terrible, no journaling week and TOM is knocking on my door. I know I should be excited, and I guess I am, but I want to be uber excited. I am so exhausted with teaching preschool MWF mornings, daycare MF & thurs., homeschooling my son in the afternoons. MOPS on Tues mornings, class monday nights, choir Wedesday nights.......... And my kids are only 3 & 5.…

Well, despite we had my daugther's birthday party and I ate everything in sight AND the leftover bowl of chocolate frosting, I still lost. I am totally surprised. I am at 145.5 which leaves only 1.5 to lose until I reach my goal of 144. Obviously I didn't hit it when I wanted to, but I am content in it. I have, however, lost my drive. I don't know for sure the cause, but there is a lot of emotional things going on right now.
I am beginning my job on Monday morning and that is stressful. And our…

It's been crazy busy around here. I didn't post on Wednesday for WI. I am at 147.0. Down .5 from last week. I didn't hit my goal of 144 by Monday, but I am still losing. The scale said 145.5 this morning. However, I have my daughter's birthday party here tomorrow. I am going to try and stay in control. I haven't used any FP's so that will help. Having 20 pts. per day was a huge mental blow for me. And now I feel hungry all of the time. I think this cold, rainy weather has my body thinking it nee…

Today is WI. I do it at home. Those are the readings I got from my scale. Each one more than once. I wa 147.5 last week and my goal for today was to hit my goal of 144. Obviously I didn't do that, but what weight would you choose? I stayed on plan, I think. I found out in the middle of the week that I was consuming more points (24) than I should be (20) and that totally threw me for a loop. I really struggled with it and then my husband said, "What are you so worried about? You were losing weigh…

My daily points is still at 24 and I now weigh 148 and am 5'5". WW online has me at 24 pts still. Anyone else find that strange? Shouldn't it be 22?

I was going through some pictures of myself from last year last night and I was shocked. I had my husband look at them and he was surprised too. He said, "It's interesting how you don't realize how you've changed when it happens so gradually." Now I know why others are commenting. I have 3.5 lbs. to go until I hit 50 pounds gone. When I do, I plan on posting those old pics and new ones of myself in those same clothes - it's actually pretty funny. I don't have a lot of everyday clothes that fit m…

WI today. I am down 2, which puts me at 147.5, only 3.5 lbs. til my goal of 144, which I was hoping to reach by next Wed. if I don't then the goal date will change to 10/20- my birthday. I am a little behind on the goals, but that's ok. I am still losing. If I reach 144 on my birthday, it will make my day. I don't know how I got to 147.5 today. I weighed 152 yesterday morning and was a bit depressed.
TOM visited this week, so I was eating chocolate like crazy. I picked up…

I know, I know - 2 lb.s gone is great, but I was hoping for 148 to stay on track of my goals. I have been eating well, but I have been getting into the FP's the past few weeks. I got more water in yesterday. I think I've figured it out - I'm a chugger. I drink a whole bottle in one sitting rather than a sip here and there.
I really want to be at 144 by 10/15, but we'll see. The crazy part? Although I am near my goal and have lost nearly 50 lbs., I still see all the fat. I am so out of shape! Th…

Well, I am back to 151.5. Which means I did lose 1.5 lbs, but I am not to my on-track goal of 150 for this week. I am not surprised, though. Apparently my body has been deprived of chocolate and I have been helping it build a store house. TOM must be coming. Life is a bit out of sorts with the bedroom remodel, too. I am thinking that I will be doing weekly check ins until life gets back to normal and we have a routine again. Then, I will be starting a new job on Nov. 1st, so that will make thing…
