I actually made it to 178.2 3 days ago, surpassing my 10% goal of 179. I have been at exactly 178.2 for 3 days despite exercising and eating OP. I have to refuse to get discouraged though. It seems really weird to me to have not seen any movement, even .2, but it is what it is. The good news is I’m also only .6 pounds from losing 5% (roughly 10 pounds) from when I started losing through WW. I’m certainly expecting to see that at next weeks weigh-in. These are all great motivators. I told myself I would get myself a professional massage (my first ever) once I reached 10%. I guess it’s time to make the appointment!!
Well, I have certainly been experiencing the literal ups and downs of weight loss lately. I had trips over to visit family that added a couple pounds of unappreciated weight. I could justify it since they were birthdays and Valentines day special meals/events. I feel no guilt about it as they were planned “off plan” days. I am glad now that I have almost a month before another birthday comes along. I am back to my pre-visit weight and feel good about the exercise and eating routine at home. I have not mastered it away from home though. Especially eating at my parent’s house. How do you calculate those points/calories?! LOL My mom tries to be good when I’m there and talks about how she should get back on track, but it’s all lip-service. We still get full-fat cake and casseroles that I can’t calculate (they’re yummy though!). Oh well, I behave within reason. It’s just a learning process for me every time. I would like to get another few pounds off and then I’ll feel even better about the efforts I’m putting in now. My goal is STILL to get to my first 10%. I plateaued at 179.4 for a week then went off plan two different weekends resulting in me STILL being at 179.4. I think my scale is stuck there! Tomorrow will be the day for sure or someone may see a flying scale. hee hee
Presently .4 away from my Valentine’s goal of 179. Soooo close! I’m eating Op and have added exercise back in like a good girl. It shouldn’t be a problem, but we’ll see.
Yet so far away. I’m at 180.8 for 2 days now. My body is rebelling against the 170’s. lol Well, I have finally gotten back into a daily exercise routine. Not super intense everyday, but at least 30 minutes of something to help with the process. I actually went UP at my WW weigh-in, but I think it was in part because of the time of day and what I was wearing (heavier clothes than last week). I waited and went to a late meeting due to my schedule this week and it wasn’t good! Oh well, no worries. I keep track of my own morning weigh-ins as far as what I post here and that’s progressing along decently. It has slowed in the last week, but it was due to going over points and not eating enough fruits and veggies. I have gone grocery shopping and am stocked up on good stuff again, so I expect to start seeing some good numbers on the scale again soon.
I weathered the weekend pretty well. I ate out a lot and did pretty well making smart choices, but I did share a dessert and used up all my bonus points. I maintained my weight, so I’m satisfied. 181.4….so close to the 170’s. I’m getting eager to get there.
