Less of Me, Wk#22

I'll make this week's update short and sweet. I lost 0.6 lbs, bringing my weight to 171.6 lbs. Although it wasn't as much as I had hoped for, a loss is a loss, so I celebrate it today. I'm getting back on track. Hallelujah! I'm now down 39.2 lbs. See you next week for the latest update.

Before, Size 18


Currently, Size 12



Let me start by saying that I am so excited that I have gone from a size 18 to a size 12. Whoo Hoo! It's been quite some time since I've seen this size and it feels great. I have always been very busty but even those are shrinking. However, Taurus is not too thrilled about this part but I am beside myself with excitement. I can't even tell you the last time that I was able to go into a store and buy a button down shirt and not see a gap in the front b/c my breasts were too big. LOL! So I'm glad to have a little less up top. Now, if I could just transfer that fat to my butt, we'd be on to something. I never have had much to work with back there.

Anyway, this week I didn't actually see less of me. Yep, I gained weight this week, 1.2 lbs. I'm not too happy about that. I know that I really have to be on top of my game this week. This shows me that I need to stay on program, never losing site of my goal. I'm not ready to do this on my own. I must keep going.

That's how I failed my first attempt at weight watchers. I first joined the program back in 1999 and lost 42 lbs. I was on a roll, or so I thought. I figured that I could do it on my own, even though I had not met my goal. I left the program and put back on all of the weight and then some. Well, I'm not doing that again. I am staying on program and re-focusing myself.

Sure, I gained weight but I'm not bummed about it. I know what I did wrong. I ate too much because I didn't write down everything that I ate. I didn't drink the water that I needed to either. I don't know why I kind of fell off this week but I needed this little swift kick to get me going again.

Okay, I promise you that you WILL see less of me next week.

Guess what? I lost 4 lbs this week. I now weigh 171 lbs. I have lost a total of 39.8 lbs. God is good! I am so excited. I can't wait to see how next week goes.

I have been exercising a little more, incorporating weights and things like push-ups, crunches, and lunges. I also changed up my diet. I had been eating the same old boring oatmeal for breakfast everyday since I began this journey. I learned that the more variety that you have in your diet, the more weight you lose. I've not had any oatmeal for about 3 weeks now. I have also changed up some of the other things that I eat too. I don't eat a salad everyday anymore either. I guess the more variety the better. I'm living proof that it works.




It's important to eat the foods you love (in moderation of course). Don't eat something that you do not like. I challenge you this week to change things up a bit and see if it works out for you like it has for me.

This week was a bit of a rough week for me because I was sick and couldn't really eat much. As a result, I lost 5.8 lbs this week. My current weight is 175 lbs. I have lost a total of 35.8 lbs so far.

When I sat down in my seat at the weight watchers meeting this morning, I looked at that number and started to cry. It hit me that I have not been 175 lbs since before I got married. It's been over 8 yrs since I've been at this weight or less. It also dawned on me that I am just over half-way to me goal. I only have 35 more pounds to lose. What an accomplishment!

I know this week will be challenging, trying to maintain my weight loss since I didn't eat much this past week. I am confident, however, that I can do it. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for your continued support and encouragement.

Not much to report this week. I am the same as last week. There has been no change. I'm thankful , there was no weight gain. I have to say that I was not on the program much with all that went on. My grandma passed away and we had lots of things to get in order for the funeral. Despite the stress, I managed to stay the same. Thank you Lord!
