Week #2 Weigh In

Thursday morning was my weigh in day, so I weighed myself before I ate.  (I'm no dummy....LOL!)  Since this Thursday was Thanksgiving I had to use my ole' cheap scale and it said down 1 pound.  I was disappointed, but I'm not sure how accurate it really is.  This Thursday I go back to the doctor and get weighed on their scale, so I'll have a better reading then. 

Week #1 Weigh In

I don't know what else to say other than Yahoooo!  Today was my first initial weigh in at Dr. Sparks office.  Well, I jumped on the scale and to my surprise I had lost 10 pounds!  At first I just stood there because it didn't register with me because their scales are so high tech.  I was trying to figure out how much I lost, when Lisa said "WOW"!  You lost 10 pounds, I couldn't believe it.

So, with that being said.  I have hit goal for this month.  Yippie!  Week #2 is beginning and I am going to keep up the momentum.  It always helps to have some healthy competition, mine being my mom!  Go team Emily...Rah-Rah!

Whew!

I can't believe it will be one week tomorrow since I have started taking the Phentermine.  So far ...... I have had no problems with it nor any of the supplements I am taking.  So, I am pretty pumped about that.  I thought for sure I would have some sort of side effects. (headaches)

The first couple days I was dieting I was super tired and had no energy.  At that time I was kind of disappointed because the Phentermine was supposed to give you a boost.  But, now I think it is due to my body adjusting to the new foods and diet.  It wasn't used to all those fruits and veggies, it went into freak out mode and didn't know what to do!  The last couple of days I haven't been as sluggish  but, I'm still waiting for that energy surge.  On the other hand, I have felt a lot better overall.  I am not bloated and my feet haven't swelled like balloons lately.

With tomorrow being Thursday it will be my first weigh in day.  I have mixed feelings.  I have so badly been wanting to weigh myself, but I told myself  "No".  I will be so upset if I only lose a minimal amount.  I am not sure what I am hoping to see tomorrow, but I want some sort of big difference on the scale to keep me motivated and moving along.  I'll see tomorrow! 

Week #1 ~ Weigh In!

I didn't lose anything doing the old school WW.  I don't know why I found it so hard.  I did weigh myself at one point and was higher than original weight, but I think it was bloating and water weight, so I didn't count that.  If I did it would be a lose of 3 pounds.  But, it's not real. 

Although, I am not terribly disappointed because I  prepared myself, but I am a little surprised that a pound or two were not shed.  I was very conscious of what I ate and I really eliminated a lot of foods that I would have normally eaten.......fast food and junk.  But, (huge sigh) what can I say!  I suck! 

*There it is said*

Revised: List of Long-Term Goals

 As mentioned in the post before, I have revised the old list.  Out with the "old" and in with the "new"!

Official Start Date : Thursday October 11, 2012
(5 pounds per month to hit goal)

November ~ Get hair extentions for the holidays - How Fun! :)

December ~ Never reward yourself with food .... Oh Boy, this is going to be hard! - Get my nails done for Christams.

January ~ Buy a Tredmill - good sales b/c of the new year

February ~ Get a Massage

March ~ New Outfit

April ~  TBD

May ~  TBD

Goals: 10/11/12 - 10/18/12

I know it's weird that I started a diet on Thursday, but I felt like it was now or never! So this week here are my goals....

1.  Be a little bit more active or less sedatary
2.  Track everything that goes in my pie hole!

So, I challenge everyone to track and be active with me!  I am still sticking with my original goal weight of 5 pounds a month as posted here. (Revision of list to come)  So, on that note, Good Luck and all of you have to help keep me accountable!  :)

Weight Watchers ~ Old School

So, I have decided to try going back to the very first time I tried Weight Watchers, which was back in 2006! For me this plan worked very well.  I actually lost weight and I felt good.  But, with all my diets, I quit.  I don't know why....but I did/do.  After that I tried three different times to get back on the program and I could not follow the new changes.  I just couldn't lose weight ! 

I usually just count my calories and I do o.k., but this time I feel like I need something to look forward to ...... something new to mess with and figure out.  In a couple weeks I will probably go back to counting calories or figure out this isn't working and I will be back to square one.  Let's hope not.   :)

Old Specification On Points:

Pounds = Points

    > 150  = 20 Pts.
150-174  = 22 Pts.
175-199  = 24 Pts.
200-224  = 26 Pts.
225-249  = 28 Pts.
250-274  = 30 Pts.
275-299  = 31 Pts.
300-324  = 32 Pts.
325-349  = 33 Pts.
350-?      = 34 Pts.

Intial Weigh-In 7/26/2010

Well, today I got on the scale for "S-day" and it actually wasn't too bad. I mean the number was still bad but not what I expected. I had lost 5 pounds since I started blogging again (last week). Maybe it is all the typing?! I am still 6 pounds away from where I was at the last time my challenge began. Ugh! If only I would have just kept it going.

Now I need to keep it going and move it forward. My short term goal that I want to reach at the beginning of October is to lose 23 pounds. I know that is sort of a odd number, but that way I will be at the weight I was when I stopped blogging. Gosh, that is really discouraging. Bummer!

My Stats:

• Lost
• -5 lbs
• Goal
• -18 lbs by Oct. 1, 2010
  

OH NO!

Tomorrow is S-day! YIKES. Enough said. My initial weigh in before I hit the dieting road.

Week #8 Weigh In

This week at the end I was really focusing on the scale and getting weighed. But, Friday night I ate Denny's fried chicken sandwich and I think it caught up with me today! Yikes........I gained 3 pounds! OOooppps! Hopefully, this week I can lose those 3 pounds. I am thinking that they are just temporary weight and not permanent yet!

Week #7 Weigh In

Didn't Exist! LOL!

I'm Back

So, I took a good long break. I have been really busy these couple of days and I didn't focus much on my weight. The bad part is that I gained 3 pounds though. But, now I'm back and ready to push forward. Pretty sure that I didn't hit my goal for February! Darn! Oh well, it was a much needed break!

Week #6 Weigh In

Ok, so I am a little behind on this posting. This is from last Monday! Yikes. Well, I lost 2 pounds last week so I am at a totally of 13 pounds! Yay! That is only 1 more pound to go till I meet goal at the end of the month!

Week #5 Weigh In

Only down 1 pound this week. But, I'm really happy with that. So far I have lost 11 pounds and I only need to lose 3 pounds for the month of February to hit goal. I know I can do it. I have to just keep motivated and keep my goal in mind!

Week #4 Weigh In

YES!! I have officially lost 10 pounds! Down 1 pound from last week. YAY!! So now I am 4 pounds away from my monthly goal of 5 pounds for February.

Week #3 ~ Weigh In

WOOHOO!!!! Down 2 pounds this week!! I am only 1 pound away from losing 10 pounds. This is definitely a good start to the month of February. So, by the end of the month I need to be 5 pounds lighter to hit goal!! YAY!! I could jump up and down for joy!!

Week #2 Weigh In ~ WooHoo!!!

So my week #2 weigh in was a total loss of 1 pound. I'm pretty proud of that. I knew it wasn't going to be much after my first big drop! Now, I just need to hang in there. I thought week 2 was going to be my hardest but I definitely think this week, #3, is going to be my most difficult.


Total weight lost: 7 pounds YAY!!!

So Excited - "Face the Scale Day"

YAY!!!! I have hit goal for the month!!! This week I lost a total of 6 pounds!! Which I have set a 5 pound goal each month. I was so excited to see that number on the scale. Now comes week #2, the hard week. I know I need to keep focused and work hard.
