Week 8 Weigh-in

Today was my 8 week weigh-in. Its hard to believe that it has been two months all ready since I've started on my way to a happier healthier me.

This morning I had to work, but decided that I would attend the early meeting to get my weigh-in over with. I showed up at 10:30. The meeting was over (it had actually started at 9:30). But they still had the scales up and weighed me in!

From day one till now I have lost 16.2 pounds!!!! My current weight is 260.2 and I started at 276.4.

I am so excited that I decided to start Weight Watchers and really take care of myself. It has made all the difference.

Gym Membership

Okay, so the other day I was thinking that I should join the gym again and start trying to work out.

I used to go to LA Fitness because my sister worked there and I got a discount.

Back in August I stopped going and thought I had canceled my account. Come to find out when I went in, I never did! So I was up to almost $300 in back fees!!! Well the lady at the front desk tells me that LA Fitness has decided to wipe everyones past due fees clean AND renstate them at their original price!

So I'm looking at $50 up front (first and last month fees) and then being billed $25 each month!!! What a deal. I'm so excited to go next month and sign up again! I cannot wait to start moving. I love how I feel after a long work out.

And I'm extra thrilled about being able to play raquetball again!!!!

Behind on my posts...

Okay so I've not been so good with posting weekly updates, but I'm going to try to get you up to speed.

I have not been good all together with the Weight Watchers program these last few weeks. :/ About 2 weeks ago I went to weight in and didnt lose anything. But I was okay with that because I didnt gain anything. Then last week I didnt go to weigh in because I thought I had gained a few pounds and I didnt want to see that and cry!

But I will be going to weigh in sometime this week. I just have to figure out when because I've been working so much. So my normal Tuesday nights I cannot attend. So maybe Wednesdays before I head in to work. But the meetings are at 10am and am usually scheduled at 9:25am. Although this week I dont go in till 11am. And there are meetings on Saturday at 10am too, but again just depends on if I work or not.

Anywho, I weighed myself on my scale and depending on if it tells me the same weight at when I weight in at Weight Watchers, I could have lost some where between 16 and 20 pounds!!!

I know I've been rambling but its been a while since my last post.

22 to 18

No you did not read the title wrong. And no I did not figure out the secret to regaining my youth. But YES I did figure out how to shrink pants sizes!!!

Last week I put on a pair of pants I havent worn in 2 years!! And they are 2 sizes smaller than when I started Weight Watchers!!!!! I was so pumped!!!

10.4 pounds going, going, GONE!

Today was my 4th weigh-in. I am so excited with my progress.

Starting weight: 276.4
Loss to date: 10.4
Current weight: 266.0

Goal: 165.0

This has been great! I cannot wait for the days to come!

How do you save when spending so much $$?

I have been spending $150+ each week on food!

I feel like I'm working just so I can eat.

Are there any suggestions? (ie coupons, different foods or brands? or stores?)

HELP!

A detrimental weekend binge

This weekend was a disaster! My first 2 days not following plan in 4 weeks!

Friday started off great! I went with a friend out to eat, and I got to pick. So we went to applebees and I ate off the WW menu!! But then my sister and I went to the Melting Pot afterwards. We had cheese fondue and chocolate fondue! It was soo good, but I'm sure I was WAY over points for the day and the week.

Saturday was Girls Night Out with some friends. Well, there was cookies, chocolate eggs, chips, pizza, and crazy bread. Oh and of course alcohol! But then we went to a club, and I'm now wondering if I can count my dancing toward activity points!?

So needless to say this weekend ruined my entire week and I will doubt that this weeks weigh-in will bring about anything good.

So I am hitting the DELETE button and starting over today, even though I want to snack like a crazy woman during the Oscars. :)

-5 + -3 = -8

Yay! I thought this weeks weight in was going to be a disaster!

But I lost 3lbs!!!!!!

Start: 276
To Date: 268
Total Loss: 8lbs!!!!

Cookbook Disaster

Today I purchased a WeightWatchers Cook book at Meijer. As I was flipping through it tonight, I found a few recipes that only required things that I already had laying around the house. I decided to try them!

First I cooked a sausage dish. It was so simple! Turkey sausage, red pepers, green peppers, yellow peppers (which meijer was out of!), and onions. A little chicken broth, and organo. It was SOOO good!!

Second I baked the Chocolate Muffins and then some flat bread from India. Well the Chocolate Muffins were TERRIBLE! :( It was like sinking my teeth into a cardboard box lightly dusted with confectioners sugar!!!

The flat bread is still in dough form however. And I have another 2 hours before it rises and I can bake it. Hopefully it will turn out much better than those cardboard muffins.

Night-time Binge

Ok...its almost 3am and I am still WIDE awake!

I am getting hungry. At least I think I am. I could totally just be bored. But I think that I've already eaten close to ALL my weekly points, if not more.

And I have weigh-in on Tuesday and well I sorta cheated today and weighed myself. I havent lost anything. But I havent gained either. So I guess thats good!

Tuesday is weigh-in and I'm trying to get a friend from work to come with me! I need a weight loss buddy bad!!!

So instead of eating I figured I would write on my blog to try and keep my mind off things. But that doesnt seem to be helping especially because I keep talking about. And besides theirs no food in my house anyway because people keep eating ALL my food. My sister ate a whole pound of turkey meat and my dad ate all my skinny cows!! It like I buy food but it keeps disappering! AGH!!!
