#212 Weekly Weigh In

Before I get into my weight loss journey, I thought I would share my thoughts a bit. With the tragedies of last night, i thought i would wait till tonight to post. With a heavy heart, I am praying and thinking about all who are involved. I think everyone is still in shock. My heart is hurting. With that said, i will continue to  pray for  all those involved. 

Weekly Weigh In: The holidays are the the hardest for people trying to loose weight. as americans especially southerns,  we tend to eat a lot. When i say a lot i mean a lot, i mean a heaping plate full with some of us going back  for more. Each ear i try harder and harder to try to somewhat stay on plan. I really think this year it  sort of clicked.

A couple of weeks ago, for some odd reason my motivation surged through me. Don't ask me why cause I haven't got a clue. Anyway, around halloween, i joined a gym and really started following the plan.

The Results: For the last few weeks including Thanksgiving and Christmas i lost weight. I am back to a total  of 35 pounds lost which is 5 pounds from my smallest, which i couldn't be more happier about. I am actually feeling it in my clothing and in the mirror.

What Changed: I g to the gym like four times a week and i stop drinking soda Sunday night. So the lesson to be learned: follow the plan and it works.

So before you discount the plan or yourself, if I can do it, you definitely can.

I guess now over the next week I will be deciding my New Year's resolution for 2014. What will be new for me in the upcoming year. I am excited to see what happens.

#211 Weekly Weigh In

So Weight Watchers moved back to Thursdays and I couldn't be more happier.......I think I will get back track soon rather than later.

This is only the second week of Thursday night meetings and I already have progress. I lost 2 point 8 pounds this week. It could also be the fact that up until this week, I have been working out at least 4 times a week. I guess my body is finally showing some signs of all my hard work.....I guess that just gives me the motivation to continue my work outs at the YMCA, and I guess I need to continue getting up early on Saturday mornings to work out. It probably helps that I am tracking more and more and also drinking less DC.

Last week we had to set a goal for the holidays....my goal was to not gain weight meaning I don't want gain weight. If I do, I will be disappointed by that is life.

Tonight, my leader introduced tweak in the WW plan. I don't really know what to think about it but I will try it for the next 2 weeks like I promised....I need to read more about it before I can really understand it. What I can sort of take from this is that the new tweak is similar to the simply filling plan which I never quite got. WE will see how this goes. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this works. The plan is called Simply Start:

1. The meals and snacks are built from Power Foods (which are foods that help you fill up faster and stay fuller longer. You choose from these meals; they are like suggestions. You can swap options and flavors not to get bored.
2. Choose an unlimited amount of beverages from list of "free" beverages (i.e. water, diet soda, coffee or tea-without sugar and fat free milk)
3. If you like, indulge....your get 7 points plus each day which is basically just breaking down the 49 weekly points you get. These you can spend anyway you want.

Well we will see how this goes....wish me luck!!!
