Pounds lost in Week 40: .4 pounds
Total weight lost so far : 26.0 pounds
Not a great week, but no gain, either. Works for me and I’ll take it. I have almost recouped the weight I gained back. 2.2 pounds didn’t seem like much, but my best weight loss so far was 26.2 pounds and I’m almost back there with more weight loss to come! I also am donating more of my fat clothes that are now too big, so there is no going back now – not that I’d want to!

Pounds lost in Week 39: 1.4 pounds
Total weight lost so far : 25.6 pounds
This week was a wash of last week. I lost the exact 1.4 pounds I gained last week. I don’t know if that was because I was good and tracked and even took a walk this weekend or because it was my body normalizing out after last week’s hormonal debacle. Needless to say, I started this week off well with a mile walk this morning. I’m hoping to continue a new exercise regime (at least on the 3 days I go to work) because I know this is the kick-start that my body needs to get out of its rut.

Dear Body,
Have I told you how much you SUCK lately? Let’s forget about the fact that I gained weight this week, which I believe is largely in part due to the fact that I have massive bloating, unbearable migraines and sweet/salty cravings from having my period for the SECOND time this month. I’ve also put aside any bad feelings about the acne/allergy mess you’ve dumped on my face for the past 20 years. Um Hello? I’m 34, not 14! I take good care of you. I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I more or less eat healthy and I try to get some exercise. But, you continue to throw me curveballs. I’ve seen every specialist under the sun and while they all tell me I look great on paper, my outwardly appearance would suggest otherwise (Was I some sort of vain bitch in a past life?). Can’t we come to a better arrangement? Pretty Please?
Sincerely Yours,
The Management

Pounds lost in Week 37: .2 of a pound
Total weight lost so far : 25.6 pounds
I totally have to laugh at this week’s weight loss. A bit of a TMI here, but I honestly believe that had I not taken a big ole crap before I went to WW, then I wouldn’t have been so lucky. But, as I always say, ANY loss is a good loss. While it is but a VERY small step toward my 35 more pounds goal, it is still a step in the right direction….DOWN!

This week was a good one. It didn’t quite make up for my gain last week, but almost! Last night we had a substitute WW leader and while I didn’t find his presentation as uplifting as my usual WW leader, I did like that since there weren’t many people at last night’s meeting, he went around to the familiar faces and asked how they were doing. We chatted for a few minutes and it was nice to get some individual attention, something that I think is lacking with the WW program. He was very inspiring in his words.
I’m going to Florida on vacation and I’d like to be able to wear my pre-children clothes by then. That being said, my goal now is to lose 35 more pounds by mid-November. That would put me at the exact weight I was before I had children AND into all of the clothes still in my drawers and closet. It is doable. I would need to lose 4 pounds a month. A very realistic goal. I still won’t be at “goal” according to WW. But, frankly, I don’t think I will ever hit “goal” for my height. The last time I weighed that weight, I was chock full of food allergies and literally starving. I honestly would be REALLY HAPPY to hit this 35 pound goal by November. I truly would be happy at that weight.
