Still Losing!

I had my weigh-in today. Lost another 1.6 lbs! I need to find more records of my weight (may talk to my doctor), but I think I haven't been at my current weight for at least a couple of years...

In today's meeting we discussed the support of family and friends. I definitely cannot complain about my close family's support. My husband tries to add things into the menu that he knows I would feel more comfortable about eating. My mother-in-law too. My oldest daughter shows lots of interest in what I am doing also. I appreciate all of their help and I love them all very much!

Of course, I haven't told some of my good friends. I don't want their disapproval... I don't want any negativity at all. It's probably all in my head, but they've never had the kind of weight problem I have had - they can't understand what I have gone through. I saw them a couple of weeks ago and I was down over 20 pounds. But it wasn't enough for them to notice. This didn't upset me - I figured this would happen since it takes a certain amount of weight loss for people to notice. Hopefully I will be down enough for them to notice the next time I see them and I will feel more comfortable with telling them what I am doing.

Right now, my focus is on next week. I am 0.6 lbs away from 25 WW lbs. (I lost 5 lbs before joining WW, so the total weight loss is close to 30 lbs!) Lots of milestones happening right now!! Yay!!!

Lost Pounds and Inches!!

Wow it has been crazy!!

Weigh in last Wednesday... lost another 2.4 pounds! I'm up to 28 pounds (total including pre-WW)!

And on the Sunday before that I got measured in Jazzercise. Since February 1st, I've lost 9 inches! They measured my bust, waist, and hips. I actually want to measure myself once a month and I want to include my arms in these measurements.

Of course, I have another weigh-in tomorrow. I didn't journal Friday through Sunday! I was camping with my Girl Scout troop and we were super busy. I definitely burned lots of calories, but I know I did not drink enough water or get enough sleep. I ate way too much popcorn (cooked in oil) on Sunday (Mother's Day). I love popcorn - I would choose this over chips....

Actually tomorrow's meeting is week 12 and last one in the current series. We're hoping to get another round of people together so we can have meetings here at work. If not, then I will have to join the Chelmsford Weight Watchers.

See ya!
