You know how once is a while you have a skinny day? You have to know what I'm talking about. It doesn't happen to me very often... but today, I'm having one.
When I first started WW I took a before picture and I took all my measurements. I'm pretty sure they are on my first post.
I decide today was a good day to take my measurements again.
I haven't looked at those numbers in 8 weeks.
I start taking the measurments... i was a little scared. This was my results:
then my upper arm was 15" now its 13
then my waist was 38 1/2 " (ick) now its 34 1/2 ... 4 " is good right?
then my hips were 42" now they are 36 1/2.... holy cow!!!!
and then my thigh was 24 1/2" and now its 23"
This is still a work in progress but I'm loving the results thus far.
so this is me today...
155 lbs
13" upper arm, 34 1/2" waist, 36 1/2" Hips, 23" thigh.

8 weeks
Holy cow. I've stuck with this for 8 weeks. For me, thats amazing. I've never wanted anything so much... to be a healthy weight, and to look good in a bathing suite doesn't hurt either.
This week, I've been very lax on points. I count..and keep track in my head. I almost always do all my points on the WW web site. I love that web site.... but I haven't done points on it in the past 3 days. I pretty much eat the same things everyday. Well different, but same point value. I also never use all my weekly bonus points.. so if I go over in a day, its no biggie. I also never used my activity points. I try but its just way too much eating.
So I went to my meeting this week. I know its only an hour, but I love to get out and be around these woman... and men. I think there were only 11 of last night... its a great meeting.
so anyhow. I got weighed... down 2.2lbs this week. That is a great week for me. Thats my second highest weekly loss.
At this point, i think I'm going to start thinking about stopping WW. I think I've learned how to eat. I know how to move more... and I still want it. I just don't want to keep paying for it.
I guess at this point, I just need to keep doing what I'm doing. I'll chip away at it and hope not to plateau. That would suck. I know its going to happen.
I"m 1/3 of the way done, or even a little better then that. I'm at a total of 11.6 lbs lost and want to get to 30. I'm also only 5 lbs away from my 10% goal.
So this is me at the end of 8 weeks:
155.2
down 2.2 from last week with a total of 11.6 lost.
measurements to come soon!

Week 7
I'm so late on this post...
I've been hitting the gym pretty hard. I can start to see my body changing shape. I think the best part about that is my love handles.... one of my most hated features on my body, are actually shrinking. I swear my thighs are getting a bit smaller too. Its almost time to take out the measuring tape. Its been 7 weeks... (well actually its been 8 weeks) and I think its time to measure again.
So this post can be short and sweet.
I went to my new Wednesday meeting that I love. I lost 1.4lbs. Not too shabby.
I did hit my 5% with this loss (158) that was a great goal
so this is me at the end of week 7
157.4
thats a total of 9.4 lbs total.

6 week mark
I really though after 6 weeks, I'd be a little further along. Last weeks 4.2lb wight loss gave me the incentive to do better.
I really am doing everything I can to do the right thing. I've been keeping up with the gym. I get there 4 times a week, but I've been trying for 5 days. I've also been kicking ass on the step machine. Climbing 163 floors in an hour is exciting for me. A real sense of accomplishment and can't wait to do it again but do it better next time.
I went to the Wednesday, Hyannis meeting again. Actually I switched to this meeting on a permanent basis. Last night there were only 13 of us including the 2 leaders.
It was a pretty uneventful week. I lost .6 of a pound. Anything is better then gaining. I did go out to dinner the night before. Although I ate really well and I know I didn't go over my points... i think it was just enough. I also ate shrimp and rice a little over an hour before weigh in. That was probably a no no too but I was hungry. :)
I'm very close o my 5% goal. I just need to lose .8 and I'll be at that 5%. I guess thats something. I'm really hoping for another bid number week like last week but we'll see.
so, this is me,
end of week 6 and I've lost 8 lbs even.

its been 5 weeks
I just finished my 5th week. wow, what a week. At last weeks meeting, I gained a little over a pound. I couldn't understand why. I do everything like I'm supposed to.
They told me at that meeting that I wasn't eating enough. UGH. This week I ate more.
I felt like I was eating all the time. I didn't so much eat more at a sitting, just more often. I ate more snacks. Not really sweet treat snacks, but a granola bar here or a few crackers there.
I felt like I was eating way too much. I kept thinking all week.... I know I'm going to gain. Then I'm going to have to quit. Its too much time and money for me to dish out, not to have it work.
I went to the Wednesday Hyannis meeting this week. I really love this meeting. I didn't actually count, but I think there were 11 or 12 of us. Nice small meeting. The leaders here are great and I feel like I belong. Not like the Yarmouth meeting were there are so many people you're just another face.
I met up with my friend, who's doing great BTW, I think she's at 12 lbs or so.
We stood in line and chatted about the week we had. We talked about how we'd both been out that week and how we hope the booze doesn't make a huge impact. We also talked about how starving we were. No one wants to eat before a weigh in.
I told her about my awesome work out I did that day. 45 min on the stairmaster (90 floors) and 25 min on the elliptical.
I also told her how I was wearing the same pants I wore last week but this week I had to put a pin in them, they kept falling down. :)
So I get on the scale. She said, "well, you're down"
oh thank god. I'm so glad I didn't gain.
then she said. " you're down 4.2"
WHAT? HUH? holy crap. I lost 4.2 lbs
This is what I'm talking about. These are the numbers I wish I had all the other weeks.
Slow and steady. I know.
What to change this week: Nothing. I need to do it just like I did last week. :)
Goals for this week: Keep up with the great work outs at the gym.
Keep eating. Eat Eat Eat.
Milestones for the next meeting. I want 10 lbs lost. Thats only 2.6 lbs away. That will give my my 5% goal too!
This is me:
159.4 4.2lbs down this week
7.4 total lost in 5 weeks
