Karen - Thursday

Well I was very excited to find out I lost 3.4 pounds after gaining 2 last week. For six weeks I'm down 13.4. My goal is to lose 1.6 this week so I can get my next 5 pounds star from weight watchers. 6.6 pounds away from my 10 percent goal. My goal is to hit that before I leave for the Ozarks.

Well, I gained 2 pounds last week. I'm ok with it though. I wasn't sticking to WW the best...BUT I did pretty well. I think the 2 pounds was just fluctuation. I hadn't expected to lose so much and I think a lot had to do with me spending most of the day outside in the hot humid weather...and with my period. So, we'll see how next week goes. Today went really well.

Well - I'm nervous to weigh in tomorrow. I've had a crazy two weeks. I haven't been as diligent about counting my points. I think I've lost a couple pounds since I weighed in 2 weeks ago. I just finished my period and feel like I've been starving to death and therefore eating more. I hate it! But, although I haven't been purposely exercising...I've been wearing my pedometer and with the tea party last weekend...I have been at the church and had between 15,000 - 23,000 steps every day. Today mom came up and helped me clean and I ended up with about 13 or 14k. But I was so tired that I was a huge slacker and didn't want to cook for the entire family...so we ordered pizza. I'm hoping to go tomorrow and then be motivated again. I really need some dinner ideas for the whole family. Lunchs are fine because it's just me. Dinners are hard cooking for everyone.

Fresh Start

Well, it is almost 5:30 am and I am up to go walk. I have had such a hard time getting back on track and staying motivated the last month. I have maintained my weight and not gained, so it could be a lot worse. I had another shape scan done last Thursday at Curves. This is a machine that measures your resting metabolic rate, lean body mass, body fat, and tells you exactly how many calories you should be eating to lose. Since I had lost some, I knew the number of calories I needed had probably decreased. It had. Seeing the numbers helped to get me motivated to keep going. I also weighed and took my measurements. Jack's first birthday is in two months and I have a college class reunion in a couple months. I really want to lose more before those two events. So today is the day! I'm getting started again!

Well, I got another 5 point sticker Saturday. I've lost 10.8 pounds! Last week I lost 3.6 - I have no idea how. I'm really excited - I think it's true that you have to go to the meetings - it really pushes me to stick to the plan and lose weight every week. I have an inital goal of 21 pounds, so I have about 11 to go.

Went to weight watchers tonight. Lost 5.6 pounds. I was very excited. It is really encouraging going to the meetings. It was motivating for me to lose that much weight after I had done so bad for three days. It made me really realize how important it is to stick with it even when I screw up.
