Finally got my tush back in gear and back on WW and lost 5 pounds last week. I know a good 3-4 pounds of it was water weight, but hey, whatever brings the number down. Now I've got about 9 months to lose the other 34. Hopefully, it will come off as quickly as it did my first time on WW (20 lbs. in 2.5 months).

Just wanted to share and make sure it was out there so someone can remind me of this when I'm feeling all hope is lost in a few weeks or months!

I'm up half a pound this week, which really isn't so bad considering everything I ate over the long weekend. I'm going to the gym tonight and I'm back on track. I've got to get this weight off!

Considering the long weekend I say thats pretty good!!!

I have to go to my PT tonight so think of me while you enjoy your workout. Think of how I'll be sweating like a pig on that stupid machine of their's and not losing a single ounce.

Oh, I totally deserved the gain. I'm surprised it wasn't more.

However, I did force my butt to go to the gym today, even if it was for the sole purpose of being able to eat more tonight (I was starving all damn day!). Gotta love WW!

Sorry, didn't weigh this morning. Dad's been in the emergency room since 9 last night. Been at the hospital all day.

Thanks, X. They finally got him a room last night after 24 hours in the ER, and he seems to be OK (they ruled out a heart attack, which is what we were most worried about), but he's still there.

The good news is that I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 2.5 pounds!

Well A) Im glad you're father's clear of that (heart attack) I hope he gets back on his feet soon. You should get some rest. Being in an ER is always draining.

B) WOW total loss fo 11 lbs. I seriously need to rethink this WW stuff. Way to go!

Thanks, ladies. I'm trying!

Re: 12 down, 27 to go (-1.0 this week)

Down another pound this week! This is taking way too long for me, but at least it's moving in the right direction.

Xelindrya Posted: Mar 02, 2004 09:57 AM

Re: 12 down, 27 to go (-1.0 this week)

Congrats!
12 lbs is actually a good amount of weight. I'd drop a dress size if I lost 12 lbs. !!!

Slower is better.. it stays off longer.

Hang in there!!!

Just wanted to back Xelindrya - she's right!

A nice, Steady weight loss is healthier, as annoying as it is!

Keep up the good work!

Re: 12 down, 27 to go (-1.0 this week)

I know it is. I've done it before, but it always came off a little quicker. I guess it's just getting older that's making it slow down a little. Either way, my problem is maintaining once I get it off, so as long as I learn how to do that once this weight does come off, I'll be OK.

I'll probably go down another size in a bout 7 pounds. I was squeezing into my higher size 12 pounds ago, so I'll be back and comfy in my regular size soon and then hopefully will go down from there again.

Thanks for all the support, ladies. If I didn't have to check in here, I may not hold myself as accountable as I should.
