Week 9 Weigh-In

This week I lost 3.4 pounds for a total of 21.4 pounds.....woo!hoo!  I don't know where I'm losing it from though, because I haven't gone down a clothing size yet, but my clothes are fitting much better.  I know that I will miss the new friends that I have made in MD at Weight Watchers, but I must move on.

WHAT I'VE LEARNED THIS WEEK: 
.  Exercise is a key to losing weight.
.  That I can't run out of my WW bars....they are a great snack and keep me from cheating.
.  That I enjoy a McD cone now and then (4 points)
.  That I have a long way to go yet to get to my goal.
.  That an UNO's breadstick is 6 points.

See you next week!

Week 8 Weigh In

Woo! Hoo!  Down another 3.2 lbs. for a total of 18 pounds so far!!!!

I was kind of worried before I got on the scare this week because I was so busy last week that I didn't track any of my food.  I was very aware of everything that I was eating, but I tasted the grandkids' food here and there and had pizza and dessert Sunday for Mattie's Baptism celebration....so I wasn't sure.

I always track everything I eat and I tried to make good choices this week and figured the pizza and dessert were my under my extra points that I get for the week.  Anyway....I'm ready for this week.  I will get back to tracking to make sure I'm eating correctly.

WHAT I LEARNED THIS WEEK:   .
That I can go out to eat to an Italian restaurant and taste everything within moderation.
That Taco Bell's Fresno Chicken Soft Tacos are only 4 points each.  
That I'm enjoying eating a lot more variety in vegetables and salads. 
To carry my non-fat Italian dressing with me in case the restaurant doesn't have one.
That I love fresh spinach on a turkey sandwich.
That having grandkids around helps burn off lots of calories.

Overall it was a great week......so onward I go towards reaching my goal!!!!!

Weigh-In Week 7

It was a rough week with so much going on, including Easter, but I had a .6 lb. loss today....Woo! Hoo!  My total loss so far is 14.8 lbs.

What I'm proud of is that I have lost continuously every week since I started Weight Watchers.....that's an accomplishment for me.....that also keeps me motivated.

WHAT I'VE LEARNED THIS WEEK:  That I can taste a small piece of desserts and still stay within my plan.  That I can eat Pasta, if I watch my other food intake.  That when grandchildren are around, I feel like eating more.

Week Six Weigh-In

Woo! Hoo!  Another loss this week of 1.6 pounds!!!!  It may seem like it's coming off slow, but I lost 14.2 in 6 weeks...I'm happy about that.  I use up most of my points (including my extra points I get each week) and I guess if I saved some I may lose faster, but right now this works for me.  Slow and steady wins the race...isn't that what they say.

I don't feel deprived or starving....it's going well.

WHAT I'VE LEARNED THIS WEEK:  When going out to eat, aways check points before I go, because ..... again this week I ordered broiled tilapia with crab meat, mushrooms and broccoli, thinking it was low points and when I got home and figured it out, it came to 20 points (I'm allotted 26 for the day).  Then I had to use my extra points, which I hate to do on something like that.

This week I've gained more support since my friend, Claudia, joined Weight Watchers and she lost 4.8 pounds her first week - good job Claudia!! 

My new motto:  "Slow and Steady"!
