Laura's Log

So happy to see this--I have wanted to lose weight for a few months now and it wasnt until right after christmas when I saw my SIL's SIL and she looked amazing--had lost 48 lbs on WW--that is when I said ok I will try--
I joined last Friday (1/3) and my Wi date is on Mon-- I did great that first weekend and was 1 lb lighter by Mon--well as of yesterday(Fri) I am down 5 lbs--
In just one week I am eating more fruits and vegetable--which I like just never choose to eat them--
and I feel like I am changing the way I think about food--- I have survived thru DH's 30th Birthday party and tried everything I wanted without going overboard---Today was another test--my goddaughter's 4th birthday-- again I tried but only had a bit of everything and still stayed under points--
had heard for some time how WW works--and now I feel like I am living the testimonials that i have heard so much about---
Now the big reason for the weight loss--aside from me not feeling great about myself---is we are going to TTC in a few months and I want to be in a healthier state---
looking forward to the support on here--you guys have always been great and I look forward to read how everyone does

Hi Laura -

Congrats on starting WW - that's a great loss!!

I also noticed that once I started writing down everything I eat - that I can go days with a fruit or veggie Writing it down has really been eye-opening for me - I love it!!!

Best of luck tomorrow - post how you do!!

We went to dinner tonight (bennigan's) havent been there in ages and was really happy with my dinner selection-- it was a chicken platter (2 pieces of marinated grilled chicken, rice and brocoli--really yummyt!!)that was listed on Dottie's site for 12 points-- I could only eat half (after having a dinner salad)-- cant believe I ate out for about 9 points !!!!
I weigh in tomorrow morning-- hoping I stay at the 5 lb loss that was on the scale all weekend!!!
I think this might be rubbing off on DH a little--he offered to make Turkey chili and said he would try it too!!! baby steps --maybe in a few weeks we will be eating the same meals together---

Laura it sounds like you are off to a great start! Good luck at your WI today!! Your SIL's SIL must look amazing - talk about a living testimony??

Good uck! You can do it!!

YEAH YEAH YEAH-- I WI this morning and lost 5 .5 lbs for a total of 6.5 in the last 10 days..
The odd thing is I started on a Fri but my WI is on Monday---
Either way I am completely amazed at how easy it has been--
I can't wait till others start noticing--some people at work have--and I am trying to get others to join as well

Good Job Laura~
That is great - I am off to a slow start but am convinced this is going to work!

Glad you joined us over here!

I haven't written in my in a few days because I was in a slump--I stupidly jump on the scale every morning and for the entire week it was reading the same thing so I really was getting aggravated--no i dont expect it to go down every day but was very frustrated--- well the advice I was getting was I have to eat my points----I def wasnt starving myself BUT I was banking 5 points a day-- so yesterday we go out to dinner I don't go crazy---but had fried calamari(10 piece) chicken marsala with vegetables and a baked potato with nothing on it---and a salad--so all thru dinner I really enjoy it etc--until I come home and figure out the points--so now I am feeling guilty--although I still had banked points, etc----so this morning I get on the scale and guess what I am losing this week---so now I am believeing the whole starvation thing-- that my body wasnt burning because it thought it wasnt getting enough--well it got plenty last night and jumpd into overdrive---
So I vow to really start listening to the WW veterans--they do know what they are talking about DUH!!!
Thanks for listening---I am now looking forward to my WI on Monday--although it is my TOM so I am not sure how it is going to go but at least I know WW is working---
Laura
Good luck to everyone

Had my WI today and lost 2 lbs I am so happy because I want to lose at a healthy rate--thought I wasnt going to lose because it is almost TOM and wasnt sure if that was going to affect it--
the best part is I had to measure my self a week or so ago for a wedding and today is the day to submit mesurements to bridal store so I decided to do it again---well guess what they have changed--and acoording to measurements I am smaller than when I got measured for my bridal gown--although I def weigh more---I think I am going to call my dr so I can get the weights off my chart for the last few years--I would never get on a scale at home until now I cant get off of it!!!
Also my points went down today which I was really happy about because I have been having trouble meeting my points
Hope everyone has a great Monday

haven't written in a while--cause I didnt think anyone was reading-- but I am so happy about my progress that I wanted to share---I had my first NSV last night at at superbowl party--I hadnt told 2 close friends about WW ( I think because secretly i was waiting for a moment like this)
they totally noticed that I had lost weight--so of course after one of them commented I spilled the beans and as of this morning's WI I have lost 11.5 lbs in 6 weeks!!!!
I cant wait to see my fmaily this weekend and see if they notice!!!!

I have been using the WATP videos and I really enjoy doing them--the 2 mile tape is great--although I wish the dialogue would change each time!! I even told DH that we need PIP on our tv so I can watch something else while doing the tape!! and of course he thought I was crazy!!!Rightfully so!!!

It has been a while but just wanted to post that after yesterdays WI--I am down 13.5 lbs-- I am def happy with the lose although the last 2 WI's I have only lost 1 lb each--but at least I am losing right!!!
I def feel this is the program for me---
Keep up the great work ladies
