SIX and a HALF pounds!!! Gone. In one week. I dropped into the next tens place, which I love!!! I really worked hard this week, eating my 30 Weight Watcher points, journaling everything, drinking lots of water, and eating fresh fruit and Greek yogurt for snacks to keep me feeling full longer.
So, that makes 11.5 pounds since January 1st. Not too shabby, especially considering that I threw in the towel and gained almost everything back after just a few weeks.
I have a strong support system in place. My best friend/sis-in-law (Brooke) is also doing WW at home with me. She had a lighter week with a half pound loss, but that brought her to about 8 since starting a few weeks back. And my hubby (Jamie) started tracking points this week... he had a real whopper of a weigh in -9.5 pounds. Crazy. If he wanted a Pepsi during the week, he'd have it, but just mark down the 3 points for it. It's all about moderation. There's nothing that's off limits. You just learn to make better choices to use up your points because, heck, who wants to go to bed at 6:00 because they're out of point for the day and hungry already? =) My parents are also in the loop with our (me and Jamie) weight loss efforts and are very encouraging. I called them before 8am this morning to share our exciting news!
For this coming week, I'm just going to keep going strong with what I did this week. As long as I lose I'll be happy, but if I could set a target I'm hoping for at least -2.5 by next Sunday.
