Comparison pictures

I know these two pictures it is not really easy to tell, but there is a 30lb difference between the two pictures. I am so proud of my accomplishment. When I looked at the picture of myself from Trinity's first birthday I was embarassed, I don't think I realized how much I weighed and how I really looked. I love looking at the picture from Trinity's second birthday party!!

Weigh In

Today was a great day!!

Stats:
Current Weight: 157.6
Total Lost: 15.8

I am just barely over a pound from reaching my first 10% goal!! It feels great!! I also lost a point, so now my alloted daily points is 21.

I wanted to share a great breakfast I discovered today!! 2 Boca sausage patties and 1/2 cup of egg beaters. It tasted good, was filling and was only a total of 3 points!

Non-scale Victories

Non-scale victories are the small daily victories in a weight loss journey that have nothing to do with what the scale says, and often make me feel better then the lower numbers. I have a victory to share.

The last two days I have put on button up blouses that were always just shirts to wear under a suit jacket. The reason: they stretched at the buttons and could only be worn with decency under a jacket!! NOW: they are button up blouses I can wear with any slacks, and DO NOT have to cover with a suit jacket!! And, they both almost look too large on me!!!

Weigh In

I lost again today!!

Stats:

Current Weight: 159.6
Total Lost: 13.8 (Since my first WW meeting)

I was so nervous about this weigh in, afraid I would have gained again. I was so relieved to step on that scale!

I really need to improve my water intake and find a way to get more activity points. I know with moving stuff into our house and putting stuff away this week, I should earn good points!

August 11, 2007 Weigh In

Stats:
Current Weight: 161.6
Starting Weight: 173 (official WW starting point)

So, I gained .4lb. To me, that just means I stayed the same! I expected either no loss or a small gain, I was pleasently surprised at the size of the gain.

Goals for the coming week:
1. Concentrate on earning activity points
2. drink lots of water

I hope to reach my 10% goal by Labor Day, that is 5 lbs away.

Challenges: Stress

Wow, this week has been so stressful! I have been battling my need to eat all week. Well, I guess not my need, but my WANT! I have only gone 1 or 2 points over a couple times this week. WW gives me 35 extra points each week. I have always tried very hard to not use any, to really make this work. This week I used a couple here and there. I have had strong urges for bad for me food, but I have been very good!

I definitely learned I used to be one to eat to solve my problems. Before I would have walked across the street from my office and got a sweet. Now, I don't have anywhere to walk too!! But also, I worked through the urge!

Let's hope my will power to stick it out is obvious with tomorrow morning's Weigh In.

Fingers Crossed!

Weight In

Today was my 5th meeting, thought I have been at it longer then that. I have missed meetings here and there, so it was officially my 5th Weight In.

DRUMROLL PLEASE.....

Stats:
Current Weight: 161lbs!!!!
Lost: 12 lbs (since my first weight in!)

At the meeting today I got my second 5lb sticker. I am only 5lbs from my 10% goal!! I can't wait to get out of the 160s!!!

For my birthday my mom got me a gift card for Alderwood Mall. I went shopping this evening and got two skirts and two tops. I was so excited to find two skirts that looked good on me!
