WHATEVER. yeah that's exactly what I said to the scale this morning.


for the record 197...... +2 from last week. or as I like to say .... back to the beginning

Ok Back to journaling. I'm not counting as we don't do that on core, but I just am not eating enough (or maybe it's I'm not eating enough of the right foods?) I also just am not that hungry. I'm tired though too much water I'm up all night. Things gotta change.

Weigh in - Week 4

Ok Ok I'm a few days late posting this I know everyone has been on the edge of there seats waiting to hear the results. Drum roll please. Wednesday was 195.7 What a roller coaster this last month has been. I hope it was just an adjustment period. November is time for serious business, no more fooling around.

re-cap

Starting 197.
week 1 - 194. -3
week 2 - 194 -0 (tom btw)
week 3- 197 +3 that's funny! Not
week 4- 195 -2

so really it took me a month to lose 2 lbs. bah humbug. well by Christmas I should be down oh what a total of 6 lbs. the other day a lady was on the ww site touting how she lost 20+ lbs in 3 months. I don't think I like her. show off is what she is.

Still moving and grooving though. Last night I sat through 2 hours of freezing cold watch my son play 4 minutes of freshman football. How many calories does shivering use up?

TARGET - VITAMIN WATER

Are you guys/gals in on the vitamin water deal this week at target. Sorry I'm posting late this week about it but I managed to get 20 today and there was plenty left.

Deal: buy 10 vitamin waters (or smart water) for $10.00 basically 10/$10 BUT you get a $5.00 gift card back (on the spot, no forms no mail, cashier hands it to you)

Of course I still have a $5 card left from the cereal deal so

$10.00 - 5.00gc= $5.00 for 10 and got another $5.00 card. My college son is coming home this weekend and LOVES these.

Since I got 20 I'm sitting on two $5 cards. ahhhh maybe another trip this week ????

I also noticed that the sign said something like total amount must be higher than gift card. Hmmm I guess that means coupons would be out of the question. I made out great on the kashi, the general mills cereal, and pop tarts with coupons. I hope the fun isn't coming to an end

Say it Ain't so ... Weigh in Wednesday

Well the nasty scale says I'm back at the beginning. 197.7 to be exact. I say BullS*** . I've been 95% good. (the other 5 % is ok I have extra points!) and That's a fact. I have lots of extra points this week. I've been exercising alot. Mixing it up. Walking, treadmill, exercise ball, yoga, some work with the bands. My pants are saggy. I'm wearing a 16 pant but in reality I'm a 15 so I bet I could get into some 14's today. My thighs are big though, that's always been a problem. The more I work on them the bigger they get. HELP! Suggestions welcome.

I don't care what the scale says. I know I've lost inches over the last 3 weeks. Hubby noticed. (Doesn't notice much but noticed that)

I'm going to check tommorrow just in case the scale thinks it's tuesday or something.

PS weight watchers is missing me. everyday I get an email about re-joining. Rejoin a site that isn't working??? hmmm let me think about it.
**** the message boards are all lit up about it being a mess and not working.

Weigh-In Wednesday Week 2

Busy busy week. I've been on plan for most of the week. Yeah. I made a journal with check boxes. Probably make one on the computer and make copies but for now during my downtime waiting for son to finish football practice, I just wrote it all out in a little .59 cent mini notebook. Much better than the $40 monthly weight watcher fee. It's working for me. Weigh in was this morning big ceremony in my bathroom. Just me and the dog. Tada. 194.7 whoo hoo. GAINED .7 pounds. It's ok I'm in day 3 of TOM so really just .7 really? it's going to be great to see what next week is. Mr BLOAT will be gone. Can't say I feel like any weight is gone, but that is still the bloat feeling. I just got a tip about apple cider vinegar. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it. Drink it? Well I am soaking some cucumbers with white vinegar and splenda, so I'll slice some up and add apple cider vinegar instead of just white.

  • Question for the day. What does vinegar have to do with water weight?

Weight Watchers - Week 1

Well it started out great like all relationships do then wham.... it all went south. Not the diet but the software. I spent way too many hours not being able to log in with them. My first week trial I spent more time writing it all down then typing it in on other days. Made no sense. E-mails to customer service were lets say "not productive" Then one day I was waiting for the page to load, started surfing the rest of the site and the AH HA moment arrived. I'm not even logged in and I can do most everything I want. Why am I about to shell out 65.00 for this?

The good news? I saved 65.00 and lost 3lbs this last week. Yeah. I'm continuing but not at meetings or online. We shall see.
