Thursday Weigh In

Weight Loss: -0.4

Ok, so it isn't a pound but like I said before all those little weight losses add up to pounds.

Do you remember my challenge for the week? Do you think I did it?

Of course not! I have the hardest time tracking, I couldn't even do five days. My leader challenged our entire group to track for three days. I have no trouble tracking while I'm at work but once I leave I quit. Maybe it is because when I get home I'm hungry and open that big bag of pretzels and munch until dinner is done. Maybe I'm afraid to find out how many points I really am eating. MAYBE if I actually tracked I would lose a whole pound.

Alright, Mrs. M, I accept your challenge! I'm gonna give it my best shot!

I'll let you know how it goes.

Thursday Weigh In

Weigh in went well today! I lost 2 lbs. this week.

Last week my leader asked if I could bring in a picture. This all came up because she asked what my starting weight was. I had been attending a meeting at my hometown before my office decided to do a Weight Watchers at work meeting. So, my office leader didn't know my starting weight. I have been going to WW for some time so none of my books had my starting weight. She was surprised to hear that I started my weightloss journey at 230 lbs.

I'm on the left.

My journey has been a long one but having to pull this picture out again has been a major motivator. I'm a lifetime member currently not at goal. I'm 6 lbs. away from being at goal again. I hope to lose thos 6 lbs. by the end of September.

Here I am today.

Relay For Life & Thursday Weigh In

I found a quick minute today to post!

Today is our county's Relay For Life. I am a captain of the Friendly Soles team and we have 10 members this year. That is way better than the four that we had last year. This year has been pretty decent with a few members not really pulling their own weight at the fundraisers, but overall not bad.

I'm in charge of getting our campsite setup this afternoon since the rest of my team is busy. The relay is set to start at noon but about half my team is not able to come and the other half is working. The half that can attend should arrive by 5:00 pm. My sister, who shall be known as Monkey, is going to help me out today even though she isn't on my team. What a great sister!

Yesterday I attended my weekly Weight Watcher meeting. I weighed in 3 pounds lighter this week! That is such a great thing. To give you a little background I'll tell you my story. I have been overweight for as long as I could remember until I walked into my first weight watcher meeting back in 2004. I had followed the plan with my college roommate before that and was successful. However, after I graduated college I started to see some of that weight creep back on. So, I joined Weight Watchers. I lost about 30-35 lbs before I became pregnant in 2007. I put a lot of weight back on during my pregnancy but as soon as I was allowed I went back to Weight Watchers. I do believe that I hit my goal weight in 2009 and became a lifetime member.

Today I'm sorry to say that I am not at my goal weight. I have about 10 pounds to get rid of to get back there. Problem with this is that I struggled with that last 10 pounds before I hit goal and it looks like I'm going to do it again. I have been struggling with this last 10 pounds for close to a year. I know the program works but I think my problem is that I'm comfortable with myself so I 'kinda sorta follow the plan so it kinda sorta works.'

I may give you weekly updates of my weight loss journey. Hope you don't mind.
