Coming Soon – Pictures

Be on the lookout for pictures.  I am going to hav emy husband take some before pictures, face, full body and profile to track my progress.  I plan on picking out an outfit that will reflect my size and wear the same outfit each time (until it is just too big) so that i can truly track the changes.

One pound down 94 to go

Weight Watchers says my ideal weight is around 126, so according to them I have 94 pounds to reach my ideal weight, and I have 21 pounds to reach my 10% goal.  Although 126 would be nice, I am being more realistic and setting my personal goal at 140.  I told my mom that this time next year I would be raiding her closet (she is a size 8).

 Last night was my weigh in and to be honest I was hoping for more than one pound, but one pound is way better than no pounds, right?!

Eventhough I “only” lost one pound this week, I have noticed some significant changes.  First I have more energy already.  Second, since I have been drinking more water my RLS and back pain is slightly decreased.  Third, since cutting out the soft drinks (except for my daily Coke Zero for the caffiene) I have not really battled with headaches like I thought I would.  Fourth, since adding breakfast (I am not a morning person and don’t like to get up to fix anything before work) I have more energy in the afternoon than I did before.  Fifth, I am really not tempted by foods as much as I thought I would. 

 My key on eating is the points.  If I realize how many points a particular food will cost me I think twice about eating it.  I don’t want to overdraw my account.  I thought about trying the Core Plan, but I love the accountability of the flex plan.
