Week 11...

I lost 1.6 lbs! YAHOO!
On better and happier news: I bought 2 new pairs of jeans this weekend, BOTH a size smaller! I keep telling myself "oh, they probably would have fit anyhow", but the fact of the matter is that I've lost 17.8 lbs. THAT'S ALMOST 20, and nothing to scoff at! :) I'm going to totally bust my booty to try to get those 2.2 pounds this week...20 in 12 weeks would be fan-freaking-tastic! :)

SO here it is: Weight Watchers works. If you do it, it works. If you kinda do it, it kinda works. If you don't do it...well, I bet you can figure it out! :P

Also, another friend was sitting by me today...so I have my own little WW posse! And someone I went to high school with and probably haven't seen in 14 years (oh lord...we shall never mention that number again) was there, and now I need to go through my yearbook and find her name! :)

So...I'm hoping by March 1, my next weigh in, I'll be 20 lbs lighter! But at the very least, I know by mid-March I'll be there, and I couldn't be happier!

The "last" five pounds

Although I have 40 pounds to go, I feel in a lot of ways like this next 5 pounds is really my big hurdle. I am 3 pounds away from the lowest I have ever gotten by myself. "By myself." HA! "By myself" means trying my own hit-or-miss diet and excersize program.

So I feel like if I can get through these next five pounds, then I will truly know WW is a way of life I can handle. It's not hard for me, so sometimes I'm skeptical that it's really working, and I couldn't have "by myself'd" this far without it. 15 pounds isn't anything to scoff at, but I'm not yet seeing a different in my body or clothes, so that is a little tough at times.

So onwards, I suppose! Life's a journey! :)

Back on track...kinda...

Week 9 reported a 2.3 loss...but this is the same amount of weight I gained last week (still baffled by that), so I'm really counting it as a maintain. My week 9 total is 14.4 pounds, and this week my goal is to get at least 3 good excersize days in.

It's definately a process. The food/lack of food don't bother me nearly as much...I pretty much eat what I want (in moderation), and honestly don't want ANYTHING more than I want to be thin. End of discussion. :)

I'm hoping I can see at least a pound next week, as I'm still a little shaken by my last weeks gain...I was on plan all week, and I just don't get it!

ANYHOW, Here's to a new week and greater successes! :)

**Shakes Fist in Air!!**

Sigh.

I gained 2.3 pounds. Let's just put that out there. I even waited to blog until morning, thinking maybe I'd have calmed down by this morning. Nope. Still pissed.

Here's the thing: I STAYED ON FREAKING PROGRAM. I haven't had a problem, because I've been seeing such great results that eating right and staying on track has been super easy. I love finding things that are tasty and fit into my new eating plan (new favorite: toasted sourdough english muffin with 2 light laughing cow cheese...YUM!) But this is CRAP! CRAP I TELL YOU!

Sigh.

I drink a ton of water every day, so I doubt it's water retention. It's not that time of the month (sorry boys), and I didn't work out a ton...just a little wii fit, and some house construction, of course.

Grrrrr.

SO, when my WW leader asked me what I could do different this week, I just glared at her with my most evil glare. I STAYED ON TRACK TIHS WEEK!!! And I'll do good next week.

But it still pisses me off.
