Week 5 on Weight Watchers Completed
I started Weight Watchers on Sunday, January 2nd. It's interesting that the day I joined, all the New Year Resolution folks were joining and it was standing room only. While the timing of my joining fit in with New Year resolutions, for me, it wasn't - it just coincided with me being ready to start again. Today, week 5, I noticed that our meeting no longer has standing room only attendance, but is still pretty full.
Each week I go in knowing I've followed the plan, but feel like I'll register a gain (poof body self-image, I suppose). But each week I'm stunned by how well I'm losing on this new Points Plus plan that Weight Watchers rolled out. I'm eating cleaner than I've eaten in a long time, I'm never hungry and I'm genuinely enjoying the plan and feel empowered.
So, today I lost 3 lbs for a total of 18.2 lbs lost in 5 weeks. The online tracker has "yelled" at me for the past two weeks that I'm losing weight too quickly and that I need to eat more. I joked about it with my leader and we agreed that eventually my weight loss will settle into the .5 to 2 lb a week loss that WW recommends. I eat all my daily target points, all the activity points I earn and about 1/2 to 2/3 of my weekly points (it's a "bank" of 49 points a week that can be used daily, or saved for a special occasion event - like going out to eat with friends).
I can't see the loss yet in the mirror, but I can now pull my jeans on and off without unzipping or unbuttoning them! LOL Thank goodness for hips to hold them up!

Well done.
Body image is a rough one. Especially out here in LALA land. I find it hard to believe what is done in the name of beauty out here. Talk about in the eye of the beholder, whew.
Keep up the good work.
I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

Re: Week 5 on Weight Watchers Completed
Thanks Skip and Wes! Tomorrow is another weigh in, it will be interesting to see if my weight loss has slowed any. Every week I expect it to, and every week I've been shocked to see the loss. I've probably just jinxed myself! LOL
Today I did a major de-cluttering with the help of a good friend of mine, and wow my home looks so nice now, but I'm mentally exhausted, and we worked straight through lunch. By dinner I still didn't have an appetite. No telling what that will do for me tomorrow. I'll be sure to post my results though - good, bad or ugly!
