Weight at Start of week: 206
+/- at weigh in 3/29/12 -2.4 lb
Current weight 3/29/12 203.6 lbs
OK I'm down 10 lbs since I started Weight Watchers. I'm very excited about that. I'm staying positive, but I'm still skeptical that this really does work. It just seems too easy.
I'm halfway to my mini-goal of 20 lbs. I picked 20 lbs as a mini-goal as that should be around the time my wedding ring will fit again. My real wedding ring. It's been probably a year and a half since I've been able to wear it. I went about a year without wearing a wedding ring. About 6 months ago I bought a $15 tungsten wedding band to wear in the meantime.
If I can maintain this weight loss rate, I should be able to wear it in a month and a half or two. That milestone will be cause of celebration. Not a food celebration the old me would have gone for, but maybe just a good ol' pat on my back with my left hand.

It's a miracle!

Well that was certainly unexpected. I had a bad week. I had 4 days in a row of temptation. It could have been worse. I made some changes or resistance in some of the temptations. However I gave in more than I should have.
I'm lucky I still managed to lose a pound. I'm going to push forward and work on resisting temptations.

Shoot I Got This!
Weight at Start of week: 209.2
+/- at weigh in 3/15/12 -2.2
Current weight 3/15/12 207 lbs
Alright Alright! Down another 2 lbs! I've been doing this a month now and my total weight loss is 7 lbs. I'm feeling really good about this. I think this is the longest I've stuck to a weight loss plan.
I think the key to this is slow and steady. Too often I've tried to rush to lose weight. Fad diets don't work. Well I suppose they work in the sense you lose weight, but you lose too much too fast and I don't just mean weight. Weight Watchers isn't a fad diet, it teaches portion control among other things. I don't want to sound like a commercial for Weight Watchers, but after a month it seems easier and less scary than I thought it would be.
Let's see what month 2 brings.

Wait What?
Weight at Start of week: 212.6
+/- at weigh in 3/8/12 -3.4 lbs
Current weight 3/8/12 209.2 lbs
I'm not really sure what to think about this weeks weigh in. Sure I'm down 3.4 lbs from last week. I'm not sure that is entirely accurate. I have a feeling that the scale last week was wrong. Which would be a good thing, because it would mean I didn't put on almost 3 lbs. It does however make things confusing as to what is exactly happening.
After I got home last week from my WW meeting, I weighed myself on my scale at home. It showed my weight at 209 lbs. I didn't think much of it since scales can vary. A friend suggested that before the WW meeting this week to weigh myself on my scale so I can compare with the WW scale. My weight? 208 lbs. It appears that the difference between the two scales is one pound. Therefore, maybe I didn't gain 3 lbs. Maybe I maintained more or less from the week prior. It also appears that my real weight loss for this week is 1 lb. I'm ok with that.
I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing. This should be a pretty good week for me. I'm not anticipating anything big happening. A friend bought me a pedometer for my birthday. I'm going to work on walking more. My pain and fatigue make it difficult for me to exercise, but maybe I can start slowly adding a few steps a day. I've been trying to take the stairs at work rather than the elevator. What I've found however, is how second nature taking the elevator has become. I don't even think about it. It's not until I'm at my desk, that I realize I took the elevator. I'm going to continue working on that.
Have a good week!

You Take The Good, You Take The Bad?
Weight at Start of week: 209.8
+/- at weigh in 3/1/12: +2.8 lbs
Current weight 2/23/12 212.6 lbs
You don't know how much I don't want to write this blog entry. I've been dreading it all day. This is a huge blow to my confidence. However, I said I was in this good or bad. I will blog.
I honestly don't know where I went wrong this week. At least +2.8 lbs wrong. I had one "bad" day on Friday. I went out with co-workers after work. I overindulged at dinner, but I wasn't going to let it get me down. I'm confident I didn't go over my weekly bonus points (though I don't know for sure as I had to guess the nutrition, they don't provide it because they are too small) and I stayed within my points the rest of the week.
I could deal with maintaining my weight from last week, maybe even up a pound but nearly 3? I'm beyond frustrated. Everyone keeps telling me to stay positive and don't give up at the first setback. They're right, but right now I don't give a damn. I want to be mad.
Tomorrow, I'll start the day with a better attitude. But today, today I'm going to sulk.
