Ultimate Goal:

Today was weigh-in day. I am so happy to say that I lost 1 pound!!!!!!

The reason I am so excited about this is that this has been my laziest week EVER! The hubby and I did get out and go walking last night. That’s the most I did all week. So, I’m surprised that I even lost 1 pound. I’m still working my way down!

I did change my Halloween goal from 199 to 203. Getting down to 2 weeks from Halloween and I’d still have 10 pounds to go! I want to actually be able to reach my goal so I changed it. Nothing wrong with that. 203 will still be a challenge (especially if I keep up the lazy streak). But, it’s definitely more attainable than 199. I’ll reach 199 soon enough though. And, I’ll still be having my “under 200″ party.

I LOST  3  POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!

I can not even begin to explain my excitement right now!!!!  I have never lost 3 pounds in a single week!!!!!  My hard work is starting to really pay off!  I am now in the single-digits … 209.   AND, as a NSV, I have to re-adjust my WW points again because of the weight I’ve lost!!  Do you even realize how happy this makes me!?!!?!?!?  Check my measurements tab, because I’ve also lost 10.5 inches in the past 2 weeks!!  I am have also lost 10% of my original starting weight of 235!!  WOW!!!! SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!!!! 

Sunday is my 60 day anniversary on WW… what a way to celebrate, having lost 10% of my starting weight.  I’ll have a celebratory weigh-in on Sunday for my anniversary.

For now, I leave you with my happy dance

Well… I lost 1 entire pound this week!

I’m actually pretty happy about it though.  I believe that “the bloat” from TOM coming is a part in me not losing more.  I’ve done really well this week with not going over my WW Points, not eating after 8:00PM, exercising daily, etc.  Yet, the scale still reads the same exact number it read on Monday when I sneaked-a-peek.  But, I’m still happy…… why? you may ask….

1) I’m OUT of the 2-TEENS!!!!!!! That is VERY exciting!!!!!
2) A pound lost is still a pound lost.  I didn’t gain… “the bloat” didn’t cause me to go up 5 pounds like it did last month.
3) All the hard work I put into it this week, plus all the hard work I’ll put into it next week, minus “the bloat” (which should be gone by Wed. or Thurs.) should mean one heck of a weigh-in next Friday!

I’m still on for my Halloween Goal  

I haven’t given up on it, nor will I (unless I’m still sittin at 212 the day before Halloween, then it would be time to reconsider…haha!

 So, I’m happy with today’s weigh-in.  It isn’t quite the 210 I hoped for - but game still on!

My goal for this week is to not step on the scale again until Friday morning!!!  I’ve been getting on the scale every single time after I go to the bathroom (we keep the scale in the bathroom)… it’s almost an obsession.  So, I need to break myself of that and save up the anticipation for Friday.

Yes…. I LOST 2 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!

And, I am still 2 days from my “old” weigh-in date!  So, I’m sure I could have lost 3 pounds… but, I’m starting to weigh-in on Friday mornings…. so, this week I weighed in on Saturday morning (as a transition) and next week I’ll weigh in on Friday morning.  I am STILL in the running for my Halloween Goal.  It will be a LOT of work but SO worth it in the end.

 I have also lost 7 inches. (See my measurement tabs for the latest on that).  So, I am officially shrinking!

 I lost the 2 pounds I gained last week!! YAY!!!!  That was SUCH a relief!!!  Also, if you’ll notice, my ultimate goal has changed.  Originally it was 135, but then I realized, the ultimate goal for me right now is to have another baby.  Brett and I talked about it and decided that once I get to 165, we can start trying (we’d like to start trying in June).  At 165, I’d know that I wouldn’t go back over 200 pounds while pregnant.  Another post to follow about symptoms…yay!

In the tabs at the top of my page, I added a page for my measurements and weights.  On the weights page, you’ll notice that I have set my mini-goals until June of next year!!!! Pretty neat to see the possibilities of where I can be in just 9 months time!

Welp, I knew it would happen….. and I didn’t even want to post it…. but because the point of this blog is to keep me accountable, I can’t hide.  I have to post it. 

I gained 2 flippin pounds this week! 2 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!  I was on such a high last week to have reached my Labor Day goal…..

 I’ll just say that I know how it happened, the problem has been remedied and I can’t go and stay for weeks at a time with my parents any more…..lol.

I am back on plan with a vengence today, and determined to get UNDER 215 by next weeks weigh in.  I’m still on for my Halloween Goal - I just have to kick it up a notch…*BAM*

TOM finally left and I weighed-in and I am happy to report that I made my Labor Day goal (a week late no thanks to TOM)…but I made it nonetheless!!  So, I finally got to make my Halloween Goal!!!  I KNOW I can do it.  I’ve lost 10 pounds the last 3 weeks!!!!!!! I can’t remember the last time I was in the two-teens…… the last time I was in Onederland was 10 years ago!!!!!!!!!! Here I come Under 200 party!!!! WHOOHOO!!!

TOM was supposed to be here on Wednesday (the 5th)….. it’s still not here, which means 1 of 3 things……

A) I’m pregnant
B) My ovaries have disentegrated
C) All the walking and working out have made my normally sloth-like body go WTF??? And kind of messed up my cycle.

I think that B & C are more of possibilites than A……. at least, I better not be pregnant - haven’t been trying, and have been using uber protection!

So, I’ll just keep going and keep pushing off my weigh-in until TOM gets here….. yay!

Okay, I weight myself yesterday, and the day before that, etc….because I like to kind of have an idea of where I’m at.  I was on track to weigh-in today, but I stepped on the scale this morning and it was up 5 pounds!!!! I stepped on it again, same reading.  Now, I know that I can’t put on 5 pounds overnight (literally) - and I know, also, that I am due to start my period in the next 5 days or so - so I’m thinking that this is PMS Bloat!  So, in order to not make myself discouraged by having to post a ticker with a weight that I know isn’t true, I am going to postpone all weigh-ins for the next week to week and a half until TOM gets here.    I also noticed that my ring isn’t as easy to get off this morning….another tell-tell sign of water retention.

So, I’ll still be blogging until I weigh in again - I just wanted to post a reason for not weighing in today.
