Week 8 & 9

Oh terrible me..... things have been crazy and I have been forgetful!  Between painting my living room and kitchen, and preparing for company... I have been a busy, busy girl!  Well Week 8 showed my first gain.  I was not feeling well that evening so that may have been part of it but regardless, I handled the gain like a champ!  Week 9 brought another loss for me, bring me closer and closer to my 10% goal.  I am only 5.4 lbs from that goal!  Woohoo!  I am going to keep it short and sweet because I am making dinner!  :)

Week 7

I finally made it back to my regular meeting!  I was by my lonesome tonight though, but that is okay.... I decided to stay anyways.  I am glad I did.  I participated a lot in tonights meeting, which is very unlike me.  I figured most people were being quiet, I might as well speak up.  I ended up having a woman asking me different questions, and I was proud that I could answer her.  I had another successful weigh-in, but I go in not expecting much of a loss.  I know I will come to a point when the numbers get smaller or the fluctuate and I keep trying to mentally prepare myself for that.  It is hard when I keep seeing such great numbers though.  I have lost a total of 17.4 pounds sine April 23rd.  I have not really noticed the change though.  My "big girl" pants still fit, and my old pants (just the next size down) are still too tight.  I think I have noticed some change in my face, which would not surprise me since that is the last place I gained the weight.  Plus, my bras are fitting better.  I had gained weight along my chest, which made my bras tight.  So I am seeing some changes but I do know it will take time.  I am 7.6 pounds away from my 10% goal, which will bring me down to the weight I was last July.

My goal this week is to eat more fruits and vegetables, along with other power foods.  I havent had as many of them these last 2 weeks.  It was one of the focuses during out meeting tonight.  I did notice when I ate power foods, that I felt better and more energized.  Though right now with school finishing up, I do not think all the power foods in the world could give me the energy I need to get through this week!  LOL

Week 5 & 6

Yikes!  I can not believe I missed a weekly update!  Well I thought about it over the weekend, BUT my internet was down!  LAME!  So last week I did alright:

Week 5

Beginning Weight:  253.4
Current Weight:  241.4
Weight Loss:  12


But this week I leaped over my 5% goal by 2.1 pounds.  I only needed .5 pounds to make it to my 5%. I feel the reason I did not lose as much weight last week (I lost a pound) was because I did not use any of my activity points or extra points.  I was determined to do better this week so I made sure I used some of them (not all though... usually about half seems to work well for me).  I am VERY happy with my progress!  Things have been stressful trying to get all the end of the year things done for school, but I do not take it out by eating food.  Here is to another great week!  Hopefully I will remember to update on Monday when I finally go back to my regular meeting!


Week 6

Beginning Weight:  253.4
Current Weight:  238.8
