Hallelujah to Bon Appetit Magazine for printing THIS ARTICLE. It’s nice to know that 1) I’m not the only freak out there and 2) people truly are aware of the potential dangers of soy.
WW Update – Week 5
July 6th, 2009
Weight lost in week 5 – 1.6 pounds
Total weight lost so far – 8.8 pounds
So after another holiday weekend, I went into Weight Watchers to be weighed with hesitation and a little anticipation. I honestly didn’t think I gained weight, but I wasn’t exactly sure that I’d lost any either. When I left for the meeting, I told my husband that it probably was going to be another .2 week. To my surprise, I lost another 1.6 pounds. I even earned a BRAVO sticker today for making good suggestions in the meeting. GO ME! Wishing you all continued success on your weight loss plans. Any loss is a good loss in my book!
WW Update – Week 4
June 30th, 2009
Week 4 weight loss – .8 pounds
Total weight loss on WW so far – 7.2 pounds
I was a little nervous to stand on the scale this week because Sunday was my brother’s birthday and not only did I eat like a pig, I ate cake. C-A-K-E – marked 9 points in the little WW bible. My dad made spaetzle, german homemade noodles, and I ate 1 cup plus a hand-full during quality control, the few more I picked out of the bowl while we were all talking at the table. I was hoping to lose a little more this week, but I think Sunday did me in because the scale Sunday morning looked a little lower than it did on Monday morning. Oh well. Any weight loss is good in my book.
WW Update – Week 3
June 23rd, 2009
Well, it was my first disappointing week. Sadly, I gained .2 pounds. I know it is trivial, but I’m so bummed. This was the first week I had to use any of my flex points and it is clear to me that I am unable to do so again anytime soon. I didn’t even use all of the flex points (though I will admit that what I ate with my flex points was pure crap). My meeting leader said that she thinks next week I will be pleasantly surprised at my weight loss and that sometimes it is hard going to the Monday meeting after you’ve used flex points on crap over the weekend. We shall see. It’s back to lettuce for me this week.
WW Update – Week 2
June 16th, 2009
Weight lost in Week 2 on Weight Watchers – 2.2 pounds
Total weight lost thus far – 6.6 pounds
I was a little nervous for weigh in last night, since my analog scale at home didn’t look like it moved very much and I spent Saturday night at TGI Friday’s and then Dairy Queen (YIKES!). However, I still lost 2.2 pounds proving that you can go out to eat every once in a while as long as you make the right choices. At TGI Friday’s, I ate one of their low fat meals which the menu states are approximately 500 calories and 10 grams of fat (11 points). Unfortunately, and much to my surprise, TGIF is not in the WW Dining Out Companion, so the 11 points are estimated and based on the chart in the WW pocket guide. I even had enough points left over for the day to have a MEDIUM Dairy Queen twist cone (8 points).
