Weight Loss

My initial three months Weight Watchers has ended, and since I haven't been tracking myself officially on there for a while, I canceled my subscription. That is not the end though. I still have about 30 pounds to go to goal! :) I will make it this time!

It's funny, the more weight I lose the bigger I feel. It's a strange phenomenon that I wouldn't have believed until I experienced it. It's probably because I expect to be a whole lot smaller after losing 25 pounds, but it's really not that much of a difference after all.

I'm going to be back home in Florida for the next month starting on Tuesday. I am so excited! I plan on keeping up my running routine while I'm back, which I hope will include running with my dog and on the beach! I'm definitely looking forward to it!

WW Weeks 12 and 13

Well, my friend who lived down the hall from me whose scale I used to weight myself every week moved out and I haven't found another way to weigh myself until today, so I'm a little behind. Let me catch you up...
------
Loss since last weighed: -3.9 lbs.
Total loss: -27.6 lbs!!
------
Gosh, I'm just so excited to still be losing weight!  I've noticed a definite change in my appetite (for the better) and I am really enjoying running everyday.  It's great to feel these changes in my body and feel myself getting stronger. :)

Here's a graph of my weight loss (it doesn't go all the way back to the beginning, though)

WW Week 11

Week's loss: +0.4 lbs.
Total loss: -23.3 lbs.

No too bad of a gain.  I have to say I'm pleased I didn't gain more back.  I have been slacking off and life's been crazy.  Not to mention all the birthday parties I attended this week.  But hopefully I can get on a better routine once finals are over.

On a good note, my appetite seems to be controlling itself more lately, which is something I've never really experienced before.  Maybe my metabolism is getting better?  Dunno, but I like it!

Let's see if I can't break 25 lbs. by next week! :)

WW Week 9

Week's loss: -1.1 lbs.
Total loss: -19.1 lbs.

I'm almost to 20 pounds!  Woo hoo!

My clothes are starting to feel obnoxiously baggy on me, too, which is slightly annoying because I don't want to spend time/money getting "intermediate" clothes.  But, otherwise, I am loving this!

Need more fruits and veggies and water.

WW Week 6

Week's loss: 0

WW Week 5

Week's loss: +1.3
Total loss: 12.7

Where I went wrong:
I think my mistake this week was the fact that I haven't been grocery shopping recently and I've run out of fruits and veggies.  So, I ate out a lot because of my lack of food at home.

This week's goals/adjustments: 
Go grocery shopping.  Stock up on good food!
Eat out less.  Don't give in to the temptation when friends are going out to eat, or make healthier choices when eating out.
Exercise! (finally getting around to it)

WW Week 4

Week's loss: 4.4 lbs.
Total loss: 14 lbs.

Low points:
I've been stressed and depressed this week, which led to me eating/munching almost constantly when I was home.  But I still attempted to make good choices in what I ate and how much.
Haven't been eating as much fiber as my body wants.

High points:
Been drinking more water.
Was pretty good at tracking almost everything this week.
Made up for last week's gain.  :)

I did not buy myself any candy/treats for Valentine's Day.

Weight Watchers

Yup, that's right.  For the umpteenth time in my life I have once again joined Weight Watchers.  Only difference this time is that I think I've finally realized how my weight is impacting me negatively, and I want to change that.

Weight Watchers had made a lot of changes to it's program, and I like them.
For instance:
Almost all fruits and veggies are zero points.
It emphasizes whole grains.
It's kind of a low-carb program now, because carb content is the main determining factor of the points value.

Anyway, I thought I'd use my blog to track my progress and hold myself responsible.  I'll post at least weekly updates on how I've done for the week, my high and low moments, weight loss, etc.

So, to get you all caught up, here are my stats for the past weeks:

First week
Week's loss: 7 lbs.
Total loss: 7 lbs.

Second Week
Week's loss: 3.7 lbs.
Total loss: 10.7 lbs.

So after 2 weeks I'd reached my 5% goal!  My 10% goal is coming up in just a few weeks hopefully!

Another goal of mine is to add more exercise to my week.  At the current time, I haven't been sufficiently motivated, but hopefully soon I'll make time for it.
