Weight Watchers Weigh-In Week 2

So I am a few days late on this post, but that's because it's so depressing and I had no motivation to share in my dejection. I know I should be happy that I didn't gain, but it's super frustrating to know I stayed within my points and didn't lose very much. Plus I worked out a ton. Maybe too much since I didn't lose very much.

Weight Loss this Week: -0.6 lbs

Total Weight Loss: -4.2
Current Weight: 191.4

What I ate:
1. Grapes
2. Chicken Breasts
3. Sauteed Peppers and Onions

I need to take my measurements and post my what I wore wednesday posts in hopes of finding other measurables. I'm not gonna lie, I have not been doing very well this week. To make matters worse we are going to the Penn State game this weekend and tailgating. I will probably blow my points out of the water no matter what. Bad attitude? Yes. I need to get back on track.

Weight Watchers Weigh-In Week 1

So week one was up yesterday and I survived! It was especially tough since my birthday was on Sunday and all week long people were brining me treats and offering to take me to lunch. Somehow, I managed to stay within my points.

Weight Loss: -3.6 lbs
Current Weight: 191.4

What I ate:
1. Cinnamon Raisin English Muffins with Spray Butter
2. Asian Apple Pears
3. Adobo Seasoning- I love this stuff on beef, ground turkey, chicken or even veggies!

Only 1.4 lbs until I make my first goal of 5 lbs! Thanks for all of your encouragement and please continue to share your tips, successes, and goals!

I'm Hangry Yo!

So it's day 2 of weight watchers and I'm hangry! Ok, I'm hungry, but maybe not angry. I'm mostly cranky. Yesterday gave me a false sense of full. Today I am struggling. I just want some comfort food and it's only day 2! Although I did stock up on some 1 point soups today so maybe that will do the trick.

I'm still determined to stay on the plan, but I think the reality of how hard it is going to be has hit me. I need to do some meal planning for next week so I'm not so dumbfounded about what to eat. I think it is a tough transition to the new point system because I have been wating things thinking that they are a certain point value then I plug it in and it's way more! Oh cereal, will we ever meet again?

My First Day of Weight Watchers (meh)

I've skillfully danced around the whole weight issue on my blog for a while now. I am overweight. I'm a chub and I'm not happy with how I look. I need to do something about it and it's gonna be hard, and long, and I'm gonna hate it sometimes, but there can be no turning back from this point forward.

Today was my first weight watchers meeting. It was not off to a good start. The woman told me to put my purse down and step on the scale, which I did. Then she says,"No you have to set down your purse." I realize that she is seeing my weight and thinks I must be holding a very heavy bag because there is no way I can possible weigh that much. Not a good way to start.

I actually really like my leader Di and my two neighbors were there so I feel like I have a little support group. I have to do this. I just do. I'm tired of walking around feeling like people see me as a fat girl rather than just me. I'm tired of being scared to do things because I may look dumb doing it because I am so chubby. I'm done walking into stores and wondering if they carry up to my size.

I really really need support. I feel like this is it. Either I'm going to go balls out this time or throw in the towel. In the past I have struggled with eating disorders and ever since then I have had a hard time losing weight in a healthy way. I think the solution to this is going to be brutal honestly.

I weigh 195 pounds. I said it. My home scale says 184 so this was a bit of a shock when I checked into the meeting today. I'm sure WW is right so I am going to go with it.

I want to weigh 135 pounds.

I've got a lot of work ahead of me.

These are My Goals in order of Difficulty

1. Lose 5 lbs
2. Lose 5% of your body weight: 9 lbs
3. Lose 10 lbs
4. Lose 10% of your body weight: 18lbs
5. Lose 25 lbs
6. Lose 15% of my body weight: 29 lbs
7. Lose 35 lbs
8. Lose 25% of my body weight: 49 lbs
9. Lose 60 lbs

And here is my beloved "before" picture

I look like Violet Beauregarde from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Sure, it doesn't help my cause that I'm standing next to my gorgeous friend Takea who happens to be a model. But that would be an excuse right? And no more excuses!
