This is my third WI. I lost 5 lbs. this week. yay......but i understand where Chelle is coming from! I know how frustrating it can be! I have been losing everyweek and i know my week of not losing is coming up! I dreed it! BUT Chelle look at it this way they say muscle weighs more than fat so your working  so hard and gaining and toneing muscle! LOOK HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME GIRL!!! IM HERE FOR YA! Oh and im sorry I have not been logging on this week but i have been pretty sick!! Im feeling a lil better now! I have 6 more lbs. to lose to get to my 10% body weight!

So they say but it sure is a bummer when you work hard all week and stay within your points and only have a .2 loss!  My WI was today and that was my loss...I'm guessing it's because of the exercise, I'm sure I'm losing inches and toning which is causing me not to see any loss on the scale.  I am going to continue to work hard this week and hopefully next week will be extra special for me:) 

 IM WITH CHELLE. THE WEEKEND IS VERY TOUGH! BUT I MADE IT THROUGH IT! I HAVE REALLY COME TO LOVE RICHARD SIMMONS! HIS AROBIC VIDEOS ARE AWESOME! THEY REALLY GET YOU GOING. AND THEY ARE 45 MINS. LONG SO BY MY WW IM DOING I EARN UP TO 3  ACTIVITY POINTS. SO IM DOING GREAT AND IM FEELING BETTER THAN EVER. ITS AMAZING HOW YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF FEEL SO GREAT!

Hope everybody had a wonderful weekend!  We had a weekend at home, watching lots of football games....socialized with friends, ate great food and had a wonderful time!  By the end of Friday evening, I had 28 flexie points in my "bank"...by the end of Saturday evening...they were gone!!!  Poof!!  They are there to use but the foods I chose to use them on..made me retain some water retention come Sunday morning:(   However, I told myself yesterday morning that......I was going to be absolutely GREAT and that I was!  Stayed within my points, drank 96 ozs. of water and this morning...being my WI day, I am 4lbs. lighter!!!   I continue to feel better and better each and every day!!!  Can hardly wait to see what my new WI brings me:) 

This is a question I ask myself each evening and it's such a great feeling to know that I can say I have had another successful OP day and for this, I am oh, so proud!  Just a thought, thought I'd share:) Hugs!

OK TODAY IS THE DAY I WEIGHED IN. I LOST 3.5 PDS. I THOUGHT I WOULD LOSE MORE BUT I DIDNT. I KNOW 3.5 IS ALOT BUT FOR MY FIRST WEEK? I GOT TO SAY I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED.I DIDNT GET ALL OF MY WATER INTAKE IN SO THATS GONNA BE MY MAIN THING TO WORK ON AND ALSO WALK AT LEAST 2 MILES A DAY PLUS MY EXERCISE IVE BEEN DOING! SO IM UPING IT LOL. I ALSO LOOK AT IT LIKE THIS.... ITS GONNA MAKE ME WANT TO WORK HARDER FOR NEXT WEEK!! SO LOOK OUT WORLD IM GONNA TRY TO HIT AT LEAST 3 MORE NEXT TUESDAY!!

My name is Michelle but hubby calls me 'Chelle' and this is my journey! Journey meaning: My weight loss journey:) In 2003, I began this life-long journey and I can hardly wait for the day when I reach "goal", I am so anxious to "meet" the person in which God created me to be! I began this journey when I reached my highest weight of 238.6 and after two lower back surgeries, I realized in order to live my life to the fullest extent possible, I had to do something! I didn't want my weight being an issue or holding me back from doing the everyday things my children and grandchildren do. I no longer want to be left behind because I can't make the trail or because of over exertion....I want to be in the front of the pack with everybody else:) I want to be on this wonderful earth for as long as possible without my weight being a health concern:) I simply want to be happy and healthy:)

 

2008 is going to me my year!  I plan on reaching and achieving my "goal" but will be taking one week at a time!  I know there will be ups and down, road blocks and detours along the way but I am confident with the support, motivation and encouragement from Trisha, my family and friends, I know that I will be nothing short of a complete success.   The weekly numbers can play lots of "head games" but no matter what, I am going to stay focused, on program and positive.   I am following the weight watchers "flex" plan and this week, I am going to work exceptionally hard in staying within my points as well as consuming all of my water intake.  The water intake is the hardest for me but I am going to make certain that I at least drink 64 ozs. of water each day.  I am also going to make certain that I journal, journal, journal!!!!  As far as exercise goes, I am going to walk 2 miles a day during the week with the weekends "off".  I look forward to my next weigh in!  Big Hugs!
