#40 Weekly Weigh-In

As those who know me know, loosing weight has always been a constant struggle in my life. I have never been "skinny" meaning that I have always had little bit more meat on my bones. Now at the age of 26 I have finally accepted that I may never been stick thin, and when I think about it, I really don't want that. I have realized that I want to be healthy; I would rather have a more toned, lean body.

You never know how big you or what you look like until you see a photo of yourself. I was not a happy camper. Then I saw my picture at a family wedding. I was a little bit upset with myself. I came to the realization that I couldn't blame anyone but myself.

In April or March of that year, I decided I wanted to shed some weight. For some reason, this time it was working. My guess is that I was ready; I wanted to be a healthier version of myself. Then about 1 1/2 years ago, my cousin got engaged.  I started exercising and really started. Then sometime in that year I kind of started not really doing it hard core.

My cousin's wedding was September 30, 2011. I kind of fell off the band wagon, just a tad. I started gaining my weight back. I had gain about +/- five pounds from that date of her wedding to Thanksgiving.

The day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, I started my diet. I wasn't strick during the weekend, but I started to track, and then on Monday I wrote everything down. I also decided that until Christmas I was going to not drink diet sodas.

Well I guess it paid off, I went to weigh-in last night. I had lost 1 pound which I am now back to a total weight-loss of 30 pounds. I couldn't be happier.

Weight-Watchers had been hinting that they were tweeking the plan just a little bit. So last night, I learned that my daily points plus total had changed. It actually went down from 29 to 26 points. Lets just hope it works.
