Weight Watchers Weekly Weigh-in #9!

The past few days, I’ve been writing this big long detailed entry (in my head) about how this works for me, why I think it’s successful, and what it really takes to make the changes I’ve made and not fail. It’s still in my head, of course – because I have blog designs to finish, and a faucet that decided to rain on my morning, and I have a post-it pad in front of me that I’m jotting more “to-do’s” on as I think of them. I am not even finished with my first cup of coffee this morning, and the day is half over. Happy Monday! heh!

First week: -4.6 lbs.
Second week: -4.2 lbs.
Third week: -1.6 lbs.
Fourth week: -2.4 lbs.
Fifth week: -.8 lbs.
Sixth week: -2.6 lbs.
Seventh week: -1.2 lbs.
Eighth week: -2.2 lbs.
* * Ninth week: -1 lbs. * *
Total to date: -20.6 lbs.

I’ve hit my 20 pound goal, and I set my target this morning, and have just 8 pounds to go to reach it. Then it’ll be whatever it is – if I keep losing, then great! I’m not going to change anything about what I’ve been doing, because I don’t really want more fat cells than a normal person should have.

Shopping did commence one afternoon last week, I was amazed to find jeans 3 sizes smaller and shirts 2 sizes smaller were a perfect fit for me. Of course no shopping spree is complete without a (couple) pair of shoes, and a belt – to hold up my pants if they start to get big again! It was a bit surreal, so I had to stick the sticker from the leg of the jeans on my desk nice and visible so it sinks in. Really. I did.

Much to do, and I promise that within the next day or two, I will detail out what I’ve been doing so that if you’re inspired, you can make the changes you need to make to start reaching your goals, too.

Congratulations! That is not an easy task, so give yourself plenty of accolades (i.e. new clothes!).

Oh you should be all silly with pride. I think weight loss diets like this – slow and steady – are the best. Certainly they are healthiest. And I suspect your odds of keeping the weight off are better. But it takes a lot of will power to keep at it, so you should be all proud of yourself.

Cheers!
