This past Wednesday, June 22nd, I went to my second weekly meeting at Weight Watchers, and I was down 1 lb, so now I’m 199.4. I’ll have to admit that I was a little disappointed because I worked so hard all week in watching what I ate, as well as regularly exercising, so I thought I would be down at least 2 lbs. Oh well, I have to give myself credit where credit is due. I’m still 10 lbs less than I was last September (209.8 lbs), and I checked the previous WW log I had, and I’m currently at the lowest weight I achieved on that log. That means if I’m down next week, I’ll be the lowest I’ve been on WW since September 2004. I was also doing some heavy-duty weight lifting this past week so I may have gained some muscle mass, which may also explain the loss of only 1 lb. I have to keep up this positive motion I’m on… 7 years ago
Well, I bit the bullet and joined Weight Watchers yesterday on my birthday. As of yesterday, I was 200.4 lbs, and I officially started the program today. Yesterday was my birthday, so I partied and drank, but today, I’m starting anew. I give myself credit because I’m still 9 lbs less than I was last September, and 17 lbs less than I was after having my 1st child 8 years ago. I have a ways to go, but I have to look at my goals & break them up into smaller goals to make them more attainable. My first goal is to weigh 195 lbs. 7 years ago
I have been going on & off of Weight Watchers since last September & I really want to make it work this time round. I was doing pretty good between September – February, when I lost 10 lbs, but I just sort of lost my groove after that. Probably a deep-seated low self-esteem that I’m afraid of all I’ll be able to accomplish/become at a healthy weight. Time to get over that and do something about it!!! I choose Wednesday as my weigh-in day because mid-week sometimes is a clearer estimate as to how you’re really doing on your diet, plus it’s the middle of the week, so it’s less likely I’ll miss the meeting, which I attend during my lunch time from work. The beginning or ends of the week are more likely to be days that I may be off from work, which I would then excuse to also miss the meetings. I’m trying to cut down on possible excuses to miss meetings. 7 years ago
