OK Now Were Talking!

Weight at Start of week: 213
+/- at weigh in 2/23/12: -3.2 lbs
Current weight 2/23/12 209.8 lbs

Yay! I lost 3.2 lbs this week. Very excited about that. It was a great week for me, I felt in control all week. Of the bonus points for the week I only used 17! I don't feel the least bit guilty for using those 17, since they say they factor those points into your daily points to allow room to indulge. I just didn't have the urge to indulge too much this week.

This week should be about the same as this last week. I don't foresee too many temptations so that's good. Next week though, might be tough. It's my birthday week. My favorite thing to do for my birthday weekend is eat out. I won't deprive myself, but I won't overindulge either. It will though, be my biggest challenge to date.

So this isn't too bad

So I will blog on my progress on Thursdays since that is when I have my Weight Watchers meetings. :)

Starting Weight: 214
Weigh in 2/16/12: 213
Total loss to date: 1 lbs

Well I lost a pound in the last week. I was hoping for two, but I'll take what I can get. Better down than up.

There are changes I need to make. While I stayed within my Weight Watchers point limit for the week, I need to drink more water. I also need to have fewer cheat days. While I didn't go over my bonus points for the week, points aren't all created equal. I need fewer junk food cheats and eating out less. Shouldn't be a problem for the next week.

That's my plan. Take everything one day and week at a time. By doing that, it feels less of a burden. It feels completely possible.

And so it begins

After hitting a bunch of dead ends in treating my Fibromyalgia, I'm left with only 1 real option. Weight loss. Being obese makes my symptoms worse and while loosing weight won't cure my Fibromyalgia, it will help minimize my symptoms.

So I've joined Weight Watchers. I've tried so many failed diets over the years. This time, I'm hoping that going to meetings will keep me accountable.

Today is day 1. So far so good. I'm feeling hungry right now, I think though it's all in my head. I've got my work cut out for me, but I'm determine to do it. I will try and blog my progress at least once a week. Hopefully that will also help keep me in line.
