Well, I made it. Another week gone by, and another weigh-in now permanently on the books. I was a little disappointed by what the number on the scale said. I was hoping for more. Then again I didn't really keep as much on track as the previous week so why should I expect to lose close to the same amount. I did really well following plan until my boyfriend went on a golf trip for the weekend. I succeeded in tracking everything I ate so I will consider that a win. I also stayed within my points, but I did use more than half of my weekly points on Saturday and Sunday. Part of the reason was that I made a meal plan but it ended on Wednesday and I did not make a new meal plan, just winged it. Definitely wont be doing that again, at least on purpose. Then on Sunday I munched on practically anything and everything while I spent the whole day sitting on the couch working on homework on my laptop. Although, I am disappointed in the amount my loss was this week it was still a loss. I also learned that for every 1 pound loss equals a loss of 4 pounds of pressure on your joints. That makes my knees happy!
Starting Weight: 306.4
Current Weight: 298.4
Current Week: -2.2
Total Loss: 8 lbs!
That means that I have lost the equivalent of 32 pounds of pressure off my joints. My goal for week 3 is to hit 10 pounds lost by losing at least 2 pounds this week.
Happy Weigh-in Tuesday everyone! I know not as catchy as Weigh-in Wednesday but it still works. I had a great week on this first week of Weight Watchers. This was my first week back at Weight Watchers officially and it was a very good week. I did use all of my weekly points and I used most of them Friday night because it was my 31st birthday after all. I don't even feel bad about it at all. I mean, I don't want to ruin my good week, but that is what the weekly points are there for. I even tracked everything that I ate and drank for the entire week. I made some really good meals and my new goal it to post one of my recipes that I make each week to share with the world. Anyways on to what you have been waiting for: my results!
As you all know I have been struggling big time. I am sick of losing and gaining the same 15 pounds over and over again. It is draining physically and emotionally. I have been trying to do it and I have been missing the accountability factor that I really need. I was thinking about all the times that I have started to lose weight and I know that I can do it but I really struggle to keep myself on track. I keep thinking back to when I was able to afford weight watchers. It was the one time that I was able to keep on track and actually lost 25+ pounds. I have been contemplating going back and joining again for some time. This past weekend I went to Las Vegas and I was so unhappy with the way I looked in the mirror. Luckily for me I did really well sticking to my budget and came home with about 75% of the money I had budgeted for the trip. I decided that since I had budgeted a certain amount to lose and didn't this would be the perfect time to sign up again. Use the money for something that would benefit me in the long run. Tonight I went in and paid for the 10-week commitment plan. Then I got o the scale and practically broke down and cried when I looked at the number on the scale. It was the highest number I had ever seen. I mean I know I had gained some due to how my clothes were fitting and the amount of buffets, snacks, and drinks I had consumed over the long weekend. Then again I have been eating a bunch of crap lately and not caring so that played apart in it too. I weighed in at 306.4 pounds. Oh my gosh! I never want to be this big ever again! I am so glad I joined now and am doing something to change. For the next 10 weeks I already paid for it so I will succeed and be updating after my meetings every Tuesday night. Here is to a great week!
