Weight Watcher Wednesday - Week 45

Finally hit my next goal...yipee!!!

This week's weight loss:
1.8 lbs GONE!! For a total of 60.2 lbs floating in space

considering last week was Thanksgiving I consider that a great victory.

(also bought some new clothes on Black Friday. It was supposed to be a Christmas shopping day...and it was... one for them... two for me!!)

Weight Watcher Wednesday - Week 44

This week was better.... not great...but better!

This week's weight loss:
0.6 lbs gone

Weight Watcher Wednesday - Week 43

Not a good week...well, I guess in the grand scheme of things it wasn't the end of the world. But no real explanation for this one. As they say "it is what it is"...

This week's loss was a slight gain.
+0.4 lbs.

Weight Watcher Wednesday - Week 42

So far....so good. I've kept myself focused on my goal... chopping off one pound at a time. To be honest, I can't believe it sometimes. I'm not sure who this person is ... is it really ME??
This week's weight loss:
1.2 for a total of 58.2.

getting closer to my next goal of 60 lbs.

I repeat this to myself every day... "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels"!

Weight Watcher Wednesday - Week 41

I can't believe how quickly Wednesdays roll around. I've set a goal for November and hoping it's 'do-able'. I'm hoping to hit 60 lbs gone by Thanksgiving...that gives me 3 weeks from today... we'll see!!

Anyway...

This week's weight loss
-1.0 lb for a total of 57.

I bought some new 'motivation' pants...size 10...whodathunk I'd ever wear size 10 pants! I can zip them, button them and still breathe...but they are too snug to wear right now...but soon...very soon they'll be mine to wear!!

Weight Watcher Wednesday - Week 39

Another week has come and gone. Weight loss has been slower lately, but I'm not discouraged. I figure my body is probably 'readjusting'...

This week's weight loss:
0.4 lbs for a total of 55 lbs.

My next goal is to hit 60 lbs by Thanksgiving. I think I can do it...

oh, I bought some new clothes last weekend at JC Penny's. It's getting cold here and since I have no winter clothes, I really needed some long sleeve shirts and a sweater.. The size that I fit into now almost knocked me over...PETITE MEDIUM. I never thought the word PETITE would be in my vocabulary never mind my closet! They fit so nicely, the sleeve length is perfect and the overal fit it amazing. I wear a PETITE MEDIUM!!! wow....

Getting 'fit-er"

On Saturdays my husband and I skip the gym. We need a day to sleep in and rest. I still try to get in a little exercise, so I climbed on the treadmill for what I expected to be my usual 30 minute walk. But, for kicks, I decided to see how long I could jog on the treadmill...and was shocked when I was able to do 25 minutes of actual jogging at a 4.0 speed. I was able to do 20 minutes yesterday (Sunday) and I certainly feel it in my legs this morning. But, it's a good feeling.

I feel stronger every day. I tried for years to tell myself I didn't need exercise...I was wrong...

I'm hoping that by next spring I can run 5K race. That's going to be my new goal. Whodathunkit???

0.8 for a total of 53.6 lost
I'm now wearing size 12 jeans!!

Weight Watcher Friday - Week 34

Weight Watcher Friday doesn't sound as good as Weight Watcher Wednesday, but I'll be getting weighed in on Fridays for a while. That day works better for me.

I came soooo close this week, but missed by a hair. So next week, we'll call out the marching band, jugglers, clowns and balloons for a big celebration!

This week's weight loss:
1.2 lbs for a total of 49.8

Me...


Photo on the left was taken in March, when I had already lost about 10 lbs. The photo on the right was taken this past Saturday.... In my size 14 jeans...as opposed to my black, 18/20 stretch, elastic waist pants.

Weight Watcher Wednesday - Week 33

errr...rather Weight Watcher FRIDAY! (I couldn't make the meeting on Wednesday...first time I've missed but it was unavoidable).

GREAT big surprise today. I knew I had stayed "OP" as they say..."on program"...and continued my trips to the gym, but didn't expect this big a loss. Makes up for the slight gain last week. (AND, last Friday, I helped my daughter bake over 200 cupcakes for her co-workers wedding. Limited myself to one very small cupcake)

This week's loss:
3.8 lbs for a total of 48.6 lbs lost.
