Howling Tuesday

It is almost Halloween! I love Halloween! All holidays, really. Of course, I love Halloween candy. Last year, I started WW 11 days before Halloween. Of course, I had a lot more points than I do now, so I was able to still indulge in some candy and have good losses. Last week, I did have some candy. Only now, I try not to have more than two fun size bars in a day. I did have three Reeses one day, spread out through the day. Before WW, it would have been at least three times as much. Still, I lost two pounds this week. Down to 177. I am pretty happy with that. All the exercise I am getting at work is paying off.

WW Anniversary

On this day last year, I signed up for WW online. It was a Monday night, and I had been getting desperate about my weight. So much so that I had been talking to my hubby about weight loss surgery. He was very much against it, and it was something I had always said I would not do. But I had been off work for over a year, and had gained 10 pounds. The year previous to getting pregnant, I had lost 30+ pounds. I gained 15 while pregnant, and quickly lost 22. Then it crept back on. So when Sophie was a year, I was 10 pounds heavier than before I got pregnant. And then a year later, I was 20 pounds heavier than before I got pregnant. I was only about 12 pounds or so below my highest weight. I had sworn I would never see 250 again. The next morning, I weighed in at 255. That was 10/20/2009. This morning I weigh 179. I am really hoping that next year I will be between 135 and 140. I really don't know my exact goal. I am just trying to get to "normal" on the charts, which is 155. Then I will go from there. But I am much happier at 179 then I was at 255!

75 down!

Finally, I had a loss! One pound. Since this is the week I usually gain, I am glad to have a loss. And I am very happy to have hit 75 lost. It has taken me 7 months to lose 25, after losing the first 50 in 5 months. I know, the more you lose, the harder it is. Now I have at least 25 more to lose. Next week is my one year anniversary on WW. I would love to have a good loss next week. But at least I hit 75!

Slooowww going

So this week I was still at 181. And every day since Tuesday, 181. Will I ever get out of the 180's?! Well, I am starting a new job tomorrow. Said job will involve lots of walking, standing, and lifting. So I am thinking this may kick start my weight loss. That is if I don't start overeating to cope with the trauma of going back to work and leaving Sophie.
