My weight loss in Watermelon

Not only did I want to share my layout - which I am very proud of... I also wanted to share the story behind it. 

I started dieting on March 21st - and then 10 days later joined Weight Watchers.  On May 2, 2010 I had lost 14 pounds.  Niko and I were at the grocery store - and he wanted to buy a watermelon.  When I picked this one up - I noted how heavy it was.  Niko suggested we weight it.  It weighted 14 pounds.  There was no way I couldn't buy that one at that point.  As a true scrappinpsycho - I was already thinking this would make a great layout. 

Of course when we got the watermelon home - I had to have Niko take a picture of me with the watermelon - and I also had everyone who came in contact with the watermelon - pick it up and see how heavy it was!

My next leighout (get it) - is me with my youngest grandson - I've now lost my weight in Jonathan. 

This was my Show N' Tell Sunday at Scrap our Stash. Check out all the details on how you can share a Show N' Tell at SOS.

Whoo Hoo for Weight Watchers

Down another 3.2 pounds last night! So since WW that makes it 24 pounds. From the start and per my scale I'm officially at 29.5. I'm just now getting to the point where people are noticing. It's a great feeling!

10%

I finally got my 10% key chain from Weight Watchers. It seems like it was a long time in coming. According to WW I have lost 20.8 pounds. I have actually lost 26.5 pounds... YEAH!

I'm about 1/3 of the way to my goal!

Finally a STAR!

No, not me... I received another 5 pound star at Weight Watchers. Since starting WW I've lost 16.8 pounds - altogether I've lost 22. Once again Bob had something brilliant to say! He said, I'm so proud of you - that your still loosing - - - I said what do you mean still loosing - I better be. His response well you could plateu right - - -. He decided the conversation was over and walked away! Smart man! :D Gotta love him! His heart is in the right place.

Note to Self!

Last night was Weight Watchers. I had a good feeling about the weight in! I lost 2.6 pounds which put me at 14.8 (per WW). So I was .2 short of getting my next 5 point star... Okay, no big deal - right!

I'm sitting in class and my cell phone rings! I'm usually very good at making sure I turn it off before class. Hmmm maybe I had too many thinks (yes, I meant Thinks) on my mind. So, I quickly silence my phone - and put it in my purse.

When I got in the car, I turned my phone back on and checked my voice mail. Later, as I'm driving away I realize - that when my phone had rung - it was in my pocket! How much do you suppose a cell phone weights? Probably .2 pounds!

Oh well! Next time I'll be sure to check my pockets before weight in - and turn off my cell phone!

I see STARS!

I actually got a 5 pound star tonight at Weight Watchers. I have lost 6.2 pounds since I started WW. Tonight was my 4th meeting. According to my scale I have lost 10.5 pounds since I started on March 21st. I talked to one of the ladies that celebrated 25 pounds tonight - I asked her if she actually eats all of her points. She said yes, and that she suggests I let myself eat all my points per day and even go into my reserve - that otherwise my body could be holding on to calories because it's afraid it won't get more. I think she is actually right - the week I did the best was the week I went into my reserve points. I'm going to try harder to eat at least my points everyday.

I'm less than 4 pounds from my 5% goal. I also lost 1 point because of my weight loss.

So, I'm off to keep earning stars!

Weight Loss update!

I had Weight Watchers tonight. I lost 3.4 pounds this week for a total of 4.4. You get a star if you loose 5. So, no star for me tonight. I should get one next week though. According to my scale I have actually lost a total of 9.5 pounds. It will probably take at least 9 more before anyone will notice.

Old habits die hard!

My old "diet" mindset had definitely set in yesterday. On any other "diet" I would have to starve myself the rest of the week to make up for eating almost 1000 calories at one meal - but I really only used 10 of my extra points. I still have 25extra points to use - and my activity points - so it's not like I'm bankrupt.
Also, today I started over with my 24 points for the day. I'm really liking this - but it is definitely not what I'm use to! YEAH!

Now I really did it!

Bob and I went out tonight - how bad could a buritto bowl at Chipolte's be! 949 callories, 39 grams of fat and 5 grams of Fiber - ONLY 20 POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also ate 12 chips - according to my WW points they were suppose to be 1 point for 12. I only ate 12. Turns out they are actually 490 calories, 19 grams of fat, and 5 grams of fiber. So I ate about 1/3 of the bag. So that means ONLY 4 PONTS!

So, for supper I ate my whole daily allowence of points. Guess I won't have to worry about eating too little today.

Guess I'll check this kind of stuff next time before I go out!

Kinda Bummed!

I just got home from Weight Watchers. I've done really well all week - at least I thought I had. I have had a hard time eating all of my points - and there have been days I have not. I have not used any of my extra points or activity points. So... I should have lost a lot, RIGHT?

Wrong!

According to WW I lost 1 pound this week!

Last week at WW I was 2 pounds lighter than I had been at home that AM - today I'm the same as I was this AM. So where did those 2 pounds go???????????

I'm confused. I guess I should just stick to the WW scale and not weight at home. Not sure I can give that up though!

My new week starts now - I need to go eat!

Later,

Down 7.5

I know I'm not suppose to weight everyday - but for now it's not discouraging... So I might as well enjoy it while I can!

Down 6 1/2

Whooo Hooo! What else can I say!

I did it!

After looking at various options - I decided the best option for me at this time is Weight Watchers. I went to my first class last night. My, how it has changed since 25 - 30 years ago. I'm excited about the fact that I can eat things that I have been avoiding (as long as I stay within my points allowance for the day). The extra points for the week are also very appealing. I really think this is the program for me.

Good news / bad news - my scale at home must be off. I actually weighted 2 pounds less at WW then I did at home yesterday AM. So that could mean I've lost more than 5 pounds. Not sure how I'm going to interpret that yet!

Kathy

P.S. I can no longer use that 4 letter word that starts with a D and ends with a iet!
