Just got down with this weeks meeting, and while the results aren’t as good as in the past nor as much as i wold have liked to see, I am still losing weight. From last week I am down another 0.4 pounds. This brings my total weight loss to 5.8 pounds. Some progress is better than no progress.

Just had my weekly weigh in, and this has been my best week yet! I am down 2 pounds this week for a total weight loss of 5.4 pounds! This puts me 1/6th of the way to my 10% goal of 29 pounds of weight loss. I am really excited about this and hope to keep the momentum going in this direction. I am clearly not expecting each week to be this good, but any weight loss is always better than any gain. Let’s hope next week is a loss also.

Just had my weekly Weight Watchers weigh in, and I am happier with this weeks results than I am with lasts. This time around I am down 1.8 pounds for the week. This now brings my total loss to 3.4 pounds. I know that really isn’t a lot in the grand scheme of things, but every little bit brings me closer to my overall goal of weight loss. While I haven’t set a hard goal I have thought that losing 50 pounds would be nice. I know this is going to take a long time and so I am going to be patient. In addition my current Weight Watchers goal is 10% of my starting weight, or 29 pounds. So I am clearly on a good start to reaching that goal.  Hopefully next week will be another good weigh in, all in all I am still happy with my progress!

Well I guess I didn’t do so well while I was in Philadelphia the begining of this week, as I just got weighed in and it turns out that I have gained 1.2 pounds. Though my group leader says this may be due to the fact that I just got off the plane. Apparently when you fly your body retains water and this could be part of the reason that I have gained some weight. I tried to watch what I ate while I was in Philadelphia, but it was difficult due to eating out for every meal. Tomorrow we leave for New York, so I will try to do good and stay on track while I am out there as well. On the positive side though, I am still in the negative for weight lost as a whole as I am down a total of 1.6 pounds so far.

Today was my first weigh in for my Weight Watchers plan, as I have been on the plan for 1 week today, and I have to admit I was a little nervous. I have been doing my best to follow the plan and to be faithful to it because I really want to lose weight. I have not been able to be as active as I was hoping to be, but I have tracked what I am eating and been staying on track points wise. Though I have been having issues eating enough food to fulfill all my points. Even with all that I am glad to say that I have had some positive results and I have lost 2.8 pounds! I am not expecting these kinds of results each week, but it does give me some reasurance that this is working. Now I just need to keep it up. My plan is to continue tracking what I am eating and to try be more active.

Today was my first weight watchers meeting. The meeting startedvwith my first weigh in, and I am a little embarrased to say that I weighed in at 295 lbs. Using my weight and a few other pieces of information (age, height, gender) I calculated that I get 42 points a day. I am a little worried about this, as that doesn’t really sound like a lot of food. I have a little book to keep track of what I eat during the day and to track the points, which I keep in another little book that has a listing of foods and their point values. It also has a little sliding card scale in it to help me figure out a foods point value based on its nutrition label. I think, this first week at least, is going to be tough, mainly because we have no food in the house and no money to go shopping. I fully plan to give this my best attempt and try to follow the plan, I am hoping to make it work, lose weight, and change my eating habits and life style to help maintain any weight loss I do achieve. I am also going to try to find the time, hopefully each night, to do some exercising via Wii Fit. Finding this time is also going to be very difficult, perhaps even more so than tracking my food and learning to eat better. Wish me luck!

A little over two years ago (I can’t beleive it was that long ago!) I started Operation Fat Ass and I have to admit, it didn’t go as well as I had hoped. I’m not going to lie, it was my own failure. Dieting is hard, not so much because I eat a lot, because I don’t do that any more, but becasue I don’t eat right and I definitly do not get enough exercise. Both of these issues are due to both time and money, two things I don’t have enough of. Well, today I am reinstating Operation Fat Ass! I joined a 13 week Weight Watchers at work program. Once a week we will have meetings in the office and have our weigh-ins and discussions. It cost me $150, but hopefully it will be worth it. With this course, and an honest attempt to be more active when I can, I am hoping to finally start losing some weight. The program starts one week from today, and I am going to do my best to follow its guide lines, and hopefully, learn to change my life style for the better. In addition to wanting to lose weight and improve my life, I also have a monetary investment in this, so hopefully that will also be a driving force to keep me motivated and on a positive track, because I hate to waste money! Here’s hoping for a good change!
