Drum roll Please............................... I lost. 2.2 lbs!!! That's 5 lbs this month for me. Since Sept. it is 13.2 lbs. I was really hoping for more this week cause I worked so hard but I'll take it. Also that is a total for 2 weeks b/c I didn't weigh in last week. They talked in W/W today about not eating enough and how sometimes your body holds on to the calories cause it thinks its starving. I usually don't use my 49 extra points throughout the week and just use about half of them on the weekend. This week I'm gonna do a little experiment and use 5 extra points on top of my daily 29 each day which will still leave me 14 extra points to play with on the weekend. Now I know that 2.2 isn't terrible but it was so much easier to lose weigh when I was in my 20s and 30s I would have easily lost 4 to 5 lbs with all the work I put in these past 2 weeks. Damn you menapause and slow metabolism!!! But I'm still happy that the scale is still going in the right direction!! Just a little slower than I hoped.

I am a "Lifetime Member" not only of Weight Watchers but in my real life also. I have always struggled with weight issues and gone up and down on the scale many times in my adult life. It is a lifetime struggle for a lifetime of good health. I hope to hear from all of you "repeat offenders", as I call myself, and also those of you who are just starting out on this journey. I don't have all the answers but maybe together we can find them.

ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard of the Wendie Plan? It's WW but shakes it up a bit by varying your points. I have had success with it in the past.
