Weight Watchers Lifetime

I struggled the last 6/7 weeks to get my act together to weigh in. I had this to do and that to do. We went on vacation. Or my scale would say I was more than I should be to earn Lifetime. I finally sucked it up and went in for the 6 week weigh in. I wasn't sure I had done all the right things to earn it. On the WW website it said I had to weigh in twice...which I had not done. Ugh. I was depressed and really REALLY didn't want to wait another 6 weeks to earn Lifetime. But like I said, I went in. I gathered all the kids up, told them they need to behave and be patient and went in.

My scale at home said 131.2 right before I left. That morning it said 130.8. I have to be within 2lbs of my goal weight to earn Lifetime. Before I weighed in I told them I hadn't been in twice because of xyz. They said that since I was a monthly subscriber that I didn't have to weigh in, that only the 6 week mark would count.

On to their scale:

131.0!!!

I earned LIFETIME! YAY! I was so excited.

In other news I ran a 5k yesterday. My walking friend told me she wanted to run the July 4th race and so I said I'd sign up also. I ran 3 times before yesterday. Oops. But I did better than I expected. 26:06. 8:11/mile pace. I was really happy with my time and myself. I felt great the first 2 miles but the 3rd mile was the hardest. I had to dig deep for that. 

I'd really like to start toning but I have no idea how. I guess I will google that.

Until next time!

GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLL!

I finally made it to my goal weight at Weight Watchers!! Exciting!

At home weight: 128.7
WW weight: 129.4
Weekly loss (2 weeks between weigh in): -1.4lbs
Total Loss: -31.8
Weight Loss since E was born: -50

Now I need to maintain for the next six weeks. I have to be no more than 2 lbs up or 2 lbs below. Then I'll have lifetime! :)

I got my goal charm too.

I've been MIA!

I struggled for a few weeks to get my act together with eating. I ate whatever and it showed on the scale. I promised myself on Tuesday that if I stuck to my plan all week, I'd get donuts on Sunday. Well I did and it also showed on the scale! Plus yesterday was my monthly weight and pics.

I'll start with my weight today since it's the lowest I have been since I was pregnant with my 7.5 year old!!

128.6!! Woot. I really stuck to my points this week. I walked 7.8 on Wednesday and made sure to get extra moving around in also. Last week I walked 8.5 miles on day!

On to my monthly measurements:

Weight: 129.4
Waist (stomach): 34.5
Natural Waist: 31
Hips: 37
Bust: 38 (I was full when I measured)
Left Arm/Leg: 10 in/20.25 in
Right Arm/Leg: 10 in/20 in

4/17/13     05/17/14

04/17/14       05/17/14 

Visually there isn't much of a difference. But the numbers are down so I am happy.

Here is me from last night in normal clothes.

If I stick with my points until Tuesday I should make my goal weight at WW. So then I'll be in my 6 weeks make my goal weight. Yay!

One Year and One Week

One year and one week after I started my weight loss journey I finally weighed in at 130.8! Now I have to be 130.0 to be at my 'goal' with WW but that's only .8 away. Then I'll have to maintain for 6 weeks to be eligible for Lifetime...which means I do not have to pay for WW as long as I weigh in with them once a month.

Weight at home: 129.5!!
Weight at WW: 130.8
Weekly loss: -1.4lbs (WHAT THE HECK?!)
Total weight loss: -30.4lbs

I changed the where I was walking. Added hills but the distance is the same. We area also walking the same distance in less time! I am definitely feeling motivated to keep walking. My friend did a good thing in suggesting we change where we walked, not only for our safety (we did the same route and the same time but different days), but for a change in our routine. I mean it totally showed.

I even ate TEXAS BBQ on Friday night. I did not count those points. :P

Weigh in and SOOO close to my goal weight

Weigh in on Tuesday was less than exciting.

At home: 131.3
WW: 132.2
Weight loss: -0 (boo)
Total Loss: -29

I shouldn't really be upset for not losing any weight. I over ate x1000 on Sunday. I was so sluggish the whole day too. I realize when I overeat I always feel tired. I looked up why the body feels tired after eating too much. It is because once the food hits your small intestine it goes into "digest this food only" mode thus making you feel tired and sleepy. Knowing and finally identifying that feelings and it's exact cause is huge for me. I don't like feeling sleepy when I need to be chatting and being social with family. Now that I know that it's another reason to not over eat. Yay!

My friend and I changed our walking route. Since it's too hot in the afternoons now we are walking in the mornings. We still walk 6-6.5 miles but it's through the country now. E likes it because there are cows and horses. We like it because it's new and it has hills!!

On Thursday I got on the scale. My goal this week is to stay in my points and see 130.? on the scale...and IT HAPPENED! I was really excited. Eating with in my points and the new route has already helped. Yesterday to treat myself I went to Sonic and got the cinnasnacks. BUT I only ate 1 instead of all 3. I got my yummy fix and I didn't blow my day.

Today I went shopping. I went to the Gap. I found some cute shorts and I tried on size 6 and size 4. The size 6 were TOO BIG!!! YAY! How exciting was that. And my shirt is size XS! Here is a picture:

The last 2 weigh in's and monthly measurements!

Weigh in from 4/8:

I had not done the best at eating the week prior and I'd missed my normal weigh in so I knew I needed to weigh in even though I was afraid of gaining that week. I had to go in on Wednesday which was nice because they open early that day.

WW: 132.8
-1.0 officially (that was a loss from 2 weeks)

Weigh in from Tuesday 4/15:

At home: 131.3 (OMG YAY!)
WW: 132.2
-.6
TOTAL: -29lbs!

My WW year anniversary is next Wednesday. I am thinking about going in on Wednesday just so I can do it on my year. I'd love to lose 1lb this week so I can have an even 30lbs for the year.

Today is my year from starting measuring and pictures!

Weight: 131.3
Waist (stomach) -5.5 inches
Hips: -3.5 inches
Bust: -4 inches

Left Arm/Leg: 10.5in/20.25in
Right Arm/Leg: 10in/20.75in

Tuesday Weigh In

I over committed myself to too many things yesterday. I made plans for E to be with a babysitter for about 30/40 minutes. She does not like anyone other than Mama or Dada to be with her. But I have an important appointment next Thursday and hubby is going to be away from home that day. Then I needed to get my hair done. My hairdresser only works at her salon Mon, Tues and Saturday's. Those are not my idea days but it's what I have to work with if I want my hair done. Side note: I am now a brunette. I am not sure how I feel about it yet, but it's not ugly. Being a brunette makes me think of what my life was like before hubby. It reminds me of being in a different place in my life. The blonde was MY thing. It was what I did for myself. The reason I went brunette was because my roots have been growing really fast lately and it's been hard to find time to get to the salon. So I will be brown for a while and add some highlights in here and there.

With all that I didn't get a chance to weigh in. But that is okay. Just because I worked really hard and stayed within my points 90% of the time, but couldn't weigh in...it doesn't mean none of that counted. SOOOOOO what was my home weight? 132.5!! Holy CRAP!! Yay! Very exciting! I am happy with that. That means I am 2.5lbs away from my goal! A goal I have had since 2007!

We are going out to dinner tonight. Hubby owes me a yummy dinner at my favorite place. I did something I haven't done in a long time...count my points ahead of time! I actually feel more relaxed about the day. I know how many points I have for snacks. I am also walking 2 hours (6.7 miles) this afternoon.

Until next time.
