Weekly Weigh In - October 27, 2009

First I wanted to share my meal that my mom made me for encouragement. We're suppose to only make each other our meals when we lose weight, but since I gain only a little last week, we decided to have a "Get Out Of Jail For Free" card. My dad did the delivery, he first delivered my mom's meal she made for me to me, then picked up the meal I made for my mom to bring back to her. It was fun! Here is what my mom made me:

We give each other 12 points of food
(though my mom went over just 1 point, but no big deal)
this is what I had...

4oz. Steak w/peppers, onions & mushrooms = 6pts
2/3 Cup Stove Top = 2pts
Salad w/French Dressing = 2pts
Berry Cookie Crunch = 3pts

I weighed in at 200.8 which is a 1 pound lost this week, yay!

Weekly Weigh In - October 20, 2009

Today's weigh in, I knew it wasn't going to be perfect, but I'm not to mad at myself because I ate out 3 times last week. When I eat out, I seem to always notice some weight gain. I've really got to stop eating out, it's really not healthy for me.

So this week I gained 0.4 pounds, not bad considering, but still can be better. My mom is doing better then me this week, and she said she'll still make me dinner one night even if I have gain. Thank You Mom!!

My weigh in this week is 201.8!

Weekly Weigh In - October 13, 2009

This weeks weigh in, I'm happy to report is a lost!!! My mom and I started doing weight watchers again, and we are doing a buddy system. Which has worked great all week. We've also been walking which I believe has helped both of us too. So my weigh in this morning was 201.4 which is a lost of 2.4 pounds! I think I finally found something that works for me, weight watchers and a buddy!

Weekly Weigh In - October 6, 2009

I'm going to start off by saying, Yay, it's a new week!!! Also, I have good news to report...

First, my mother and I have decided to do a buddy system. I really need another physical person to push me, praise me and help me when I fall down. I have GREAT supportive team here online, but sometimes, I just need that one person that see's me daily, who can get me to stay on track. Plus, I can help her too. We're going to be doing the weight watchers flex points and I've been looking up at a lot of great recipes at Hungry Girl. I told my mom, we CAN make this fun...so lets hope we can.

Second, I had a good weigh in...which was 203.8, which is a minus of 0.8 from last week.

Weekly Weigh In - September 29, 2009

When I got up this morning I was excited to get on the scales, but the scales were not to excited to see me. Last week I decided to make a change, and that was not to drink any soda, which I did! I'm so proud of myself that I did not drink any soda, so I really felt I should have had a lost, but nope, I actually have a gain. Of course TOM came to visit yesterday evening, so that could have some reason why I gain, but, I was hoping for a big lost, so even when TOM came to visit, it would still show a lost. I just wanted to sit down and cry, I'm so disappointed. So this weeks goal, I'm pushing my water...If I get thirsty and/or hungry during time that is not time to eat, I will drink water. I got my finger's crossed that next week I WILL have a lost!

This weeks weigh in: 204.6 (gained 0.2 pounds from last week)

Weekly Weigh In - September 22, 2009

I'm so bummed this week. I had a gain, and this really depresses me. I've been so stressed, I know I shouldn't blame all my weight with stress, though I had more stress this past week than I have in a long time, and yet I gain almost 2 pounds. Though, I have been drinking my soda again. Lately, I've been looking at the mirror, and really hate the way I look, and very disappointing with myself. So my goal this week is, to hopefully not be as stressed and NO SODA!!

This weeks weigh in: 204.4

Weekly Weigh In - September 15. 2009

I'm so bummed out. I thought I've been eating well, of course, I stopped journaling my food intake. I'm going to have to make a journal that I can easily access to. I was using the computer to journal, but I'm not always near the computer when I eat. I need to have something that I can carry with me every where I go. This is my goal this week.

Last week, I didn't write in my weight, it wasn't good news either, I weighed in at 202.8. Guess what, that's this weeks weigh in too!

Weekly Weigh In - August 18, 2009

Shucks, I forgot to take a photo of my weigh in. I was in such a hurry to weigh in, then drink my coffee that I forgot to actually take the picture. But it wasn't that great of a weigh in anyway. I know a lot has to do with this past weekend to now. We've been having temps in the high 80's & 90's which, I have no energy to exercise when it's this hot. Then, because it's so hot, I don't want to cook, so we order take out. I hope this heat comes to an end soon, because I can feel myself bloating and I don't like it. So my weigh in this morning was 202.0. I gained 1 pound since last week. UGH! Will I ever get it right?

Weekly Weigh In - August 11, 2009

I knew this was going to happen this week. I really didn't want to go on the scales. I have to say though, it could have been worse. I just drank 2 soda's all week. Need to push the exercising though. I'm going to make some changes in my life so it'll change the rest of me. I've been doing some short exercises, signed up for Break Pal that motivates you to exercise while your at your desk (or just in front of the computer at home). It randomly announces "it's time to exercise!" and you do a 3-5 minute exercise from your desk. I'm also hosting a lifetime premium membership giveaway to Break Pal on my other blog, From Pigpen To Paradise.

Weekly Weigh In - July 28, 2009

I'm so sorry that I wasn't here last week. I wasn't able to get a picture of my weigh in, plus I had gained a little bit. This week TOM is visiting again, so I knew I wouldn't lose anything, I just was hoping to gain either, but I did! Last week I haven't been to serious on dieting, so I got what was coming to me;)

Anyway, this is a new week, right? So one of my biggest issues is drinking soda and not drinking any water. So this week, I will NOT be drinking any soda and I WILL be drinking more water. That's my goal. I'm sure it'll be noticable on the scales....(I Hope).

This week I gained +0.9 Pounds...ugh.

Weekly Weigh In - July 14, 2009

Very good week this week, I went down 1.8 pounds.
I did a lot of walking last week when we were on vacation, that probably helped!

Weekly Weigh In - July 7, 2009

Finally! I'm under 200!!! I can't believe that this moment has finally come!
I went down another 0.8 pounds this week!

Weekly Weigh In - June 30, 2009

I didn't do much this week for exercise, and I didn't watch what I ate either. Was a very lazy week, but I am happy to see the scale on my side! I went down .2 pounds this week. Not a lot, but I think pretty good for not watching what I ate!

Weekly Weigh In - June 23, 2009

Started my EA Sports Active again on Sunday. I'm not doing the 30 Day Challenge, just because if I need to take a break due to my shoulder/arm problem.

Sunday
162.2 Calories Burned
25:32 Workout Time
15/15 Exercises Completed

Monday
No Workout

This weeks weigh in I kind of know I would gain. TOM's visiting and I always gain. So next week *fingers crossed* there should be a loss!

This week I gained 0.4 pounds.

Weekly Weigh In - June 16, 2009

Good news this week! The number went down. I feel so good! I had some struggles because of the pain in my shoulder and arm, but since I've been going to therapy I've been feeling a lot better.

This week I lost 1.8 pounds!

Weekly Weigh In - June 9, 2009

Today I went up, which I knew I would. For the past 5 days, I've been dealing with a lot of pain on my left arm. I went to the doctor's yesterday and was diagnoses with shoulder impingement syndrome. Which with all the pain and no ability to move my arm has made it very difficult to workout. On Thursday I begin therapy, so we'll see what happens. I still will be careful with what I eat, but I'm so discouraged about not able to workout. I felt results with the EA Sports Active. I'll have to start fresh when I'm able to do it again.

This week I gained 1 pound.

Weekly Weigh In - June 2, 2009

Yippee! I went down again! I felt like I lost this week, and when I got on the scales I was so happy to see the number still going down!

So for this week I went down another 1.2 pounds!

Weekly Weigh In - May 26, 2009

I am so happy to see the number going down after the Memorial Day weekend! Whoa, I was a little nervous about going on the scale this morning. My first small goal is to weigh in at 199! I hope to be reaching it soon. I see I'm moving at a very slow pace, so I won't be hitting my first goal of 30 pounds gone by July, oh well, some gone is better then none!

So for this week I went down 1 pound!
