I have hit a plateau. No doubt about it. But I think part of it is that I haven't followed the points very well the last month. My emotions have been all over the place and I am an admitted emotional eater. Between soccer and all kinds of life stuff I have not been great about sticking to the points.
I did lose this week though:
Weight Watchers Weight: 135.0
Weekly Loss: -.6
Total Loss: -26.2
I am 5lbs away from my goal. I want to hit that by February. At this point I don't know if that will happen. I know that is 3 months, but I need to buckle down and follow the plan. I will say it's been hard to know if the points are right for me. Since E is still nursing 95% of the time but some days she eats more solids I don't know if the 40 is too much. I have been playing around with the points so right now I am trying 36 per day. I am hoping this helps.
I changed my weigh in day to Wednesday. I don't really like the ladies that work Wednesday mornings at the meeting I go to but I don't have a choice right now since they don't open until 11 on Tuesday. One lady chastised me for not having my monthly pass card (which I've never used ever) because I need it for when the computers are down. Okay, yes, one more thing I need to carry that I never use. Plus it's all old ladies and they are either nice or mean.
Today is my monthly picture and measuring. I did not take a picture because there was no point. I haven't lost any significant weight or inches.
11/17/2013
Weight: 136.0 (-.2)
Waist: 36 (same)
Hips: 37 (-.5)
Bust: 39 (same)
Arms: 10.25 (.-25)
What annoys me is my scale at home. I know that the weight watchers weight is most accurate because it has the same variables each week but still. According to Weight Watchers weight I was 137.6 on 10/15 and this week I was 135. So that is -2.6. Obviously that is different than my home weight loss of .2!
I did cut down on Diet Coke again. I only drink Diet Coke, Water, and the occasional Dr. Pepper or Unsweet tea. I wish there was more I could drink that had no calories.

Weigh In - last 2 weeks
I shouldn't really have to write anything. I lost .4 then I gained it back. :( I didn't eat that well, but my scale said 134.7 and their scale was up. Who knows.
I am eating better today. I ate too much yesterdays. I've had some stress going on so I eat when I am stressed. I did work out a few times and that helped, but my working out is sometimes more social interaction than working out. The weather has been cold and raining so no walking. I miss walking. I wish we could walk again.

Weigh In #25
Weigh in day is usually Tuesday. I couldn't weigh in yesterday because E had an appointment for her eye. She still had a clogged tear duct so we had it unclogged.
I did okay this week. I did pretty good the last few days but I still had a few sweets. Hubby wanted pumpkin pie and C turned 5 on Monday so I made a cake. Why do I have to be good at baking? I love to bake too! I love to eat the batter. I would be fine just eating the batter. haha. So I had no idea how I would do this week. I am back up to 40 points a day because I was just too hungry and then I would over eat.
How I feel about my body. Some days I feel great about my body. I feel skinny and lean. Other days I still feel fat. I can't see myself as slender or smaller. Hubby thinks I look GREAT! He tells me a lot how great I look. :)
And here is the shocker!
Weigh in:
At home: 135.3
Weight Watchers: 135.6!!!!
Weekly Loss: -2lbs!
Total Loss: -25.6lbs
WHAT THE HECK?!?!
I had no idea I would lose 2 freaking pounds! I really have no idea how that happened!!! I got a little 25lbs charm for my key chain. Maybe I should weigh in every Wednesday. Well except this morning they were short a person and all the little old ladies were in a tizzy because they couldn't weigh in. Also, this morning I got my first "Why are you here, you look great!". It was from a man though. It was one of my fears going in thinking people would judge me because I am not as overweight as they are. :/ I just pointed to Ella and said this is the reason.
So, 5.6 lbs until my goal weight! Toning up after that.

Measurements
It's been 6 months today that I started measuring myself. There is a huge difference. haha
The pictures basically speak for themselves.
Left: 4/17 Right: 10/17
The pictures basically speak for themselves.
Left: 9/17 Right: 10/17
There is a noticeable difference but I only lost .75
Weigh in #23 & #24
I need to start this off with the best news of all. MY JEANS DON'T FIT ANYMORE. My favorite jeans no longer fit. They fit right out of the dryer but that's it. I went to a rich area where there is a resale shop and bought 2 pairs of name brand jeans. I love them. YAY!
I failed again at updating last week. It's hard to actually sit down at my computer to type out a simple blog post. I was going to do it on Tuesday, and thought about it, but since today is my measure and picture day I decided to wait until today to post. I have some time because E is in her high chair 'eating' puffs and I am eating breakfast.
October 8:
At Home: 136.7
Weight Watchers: 137.0
Weekly loss: -1.2
Total Weight Loss: -24.2
That is 15% of my body weight! I was really excited. The walking has really been paying off.
So that brings us to this week. I didn't track much. I ate whatever some days. I did not walk because it's been raining non-stop. It was just bad. I knew I had gained.
October 15:
At Home: 137.3
Weight Watchers: 137.6
Weekly gain: +.6
Total Weight Loss: -23.6
Of course I was not happy, but it was my own fault. I am struggling to find a good balance though because E is eating more solids some days. I feel like I should take away points but then some days I am starving. I talked to the WW lady and she said if you feel hungry, eat the 40 points. If you don't feel hungry and she has eaten more solids that day, eat less points. Just play with it.
Since it's been raining my friend suggested we do a workout video at her house. She keeps 1 to 2 babies and since I have E they could just play. I didn't feel much on the first day but the video we did yesterday was awesome. I went and bought it plus 2 small 3lb weights. I woke up this morning with sore abs and arms. YAY!

Weigh In #21 & #22
I started this post yesterday, but got distracted by my motherly duties.
I forgot to post last weeks weigh in. It has been a busy few weeks. We have had soccer practice, ballet, and 1/2 of the family was sick! E is finally better, G still has the hacky cough, but I am now sick. Bleh. I have felt icky since last night.
On to the weigh in from last week.
At home: 138.3
Weight Watchers: 139.2
Weekly Loss: -.4
Total Weight Loss: -22
My normal routine for Tuesday morning are drop G off, drop C off, then drive and wait until 9 am so I can weigh in. Well they changed their hours starting this week. UGH! They won't open until 10:45am. I used to be able to not eat or drink until 9am. I now I have to rework my schedule. Bleh. I decided to eat some eggs and drink some water this morning. Also, C is changing pre-schools to one that is in town so it will be a bit easier on my pocket book, gas and sanity so I don't have to deal with a screaming E for 20 minutes.
I ate okay last week. I was worried about the different time of weighing in and the not eating well would make me not lose much. I walked Friday and Monday so I know that helped. We walked on Friday and 5.44 yesterday. I was happy with that.
Here is this weeks weigh in:
At home: 137.3
Weight Watchers: 138.2
Weekly Loss: -1
Total Weight Loss: -23
YAY! So happy that even though I ate not so awesome, I still did well this week. I also decided to reduce my points on Monday because E is eating solids more regularly. Hubby is the feeder and pretty regular with it. I think it's what made me lose so much from Sunday to today.
