WW Week 12

This week: Three months in and still going strong. Had a GREAT loss considering it was Rob's and my anniversary on Monday and we celebrated all weekend (a big apology to Sandra because I forgot to respond to her fun request for Friday). It is really frustrating finding restaurants to go to. I refuse to eat at places that refuse to share their nutritional information with the public. So there were some tears on my part as we had to leave the first place we went to (where Rob's parents had given us gift cards for), and then the 2nd (Olive Garden) because we hadn't planned anything from online since we thought we were eating at place one. You'd think with so many people watching their weight that places would be glad to show their calories/fats/etc.. but no, so many places are off my eating out list.
     But we made our anniversary about being together and doing fun things together- besides eating huge meals. If I allowed myself to eat whatever I want on birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. I'd be sure to gain all the weight back. And knowing how long it takes to lose weight as opposed to gaining weight, I think I'll pass on the over-indulging from now on.
     It's really great that every time I lose some pounds, I'm a new weight that I haven't been in over 5 years or more. It feels great! I can't wait to reach my goal, and I wish it was easier... But I realize that I'm learning so much about myself and my relationship with food along the way.

Height: 5'9"
SW (starting weight): 320.8 lbs
CW (current weight): 284.4 lbs (-2.4 lb)
Total Loss: -36.4 lbs
GW (goal weight): 160/265 lbs (ultimate/short term)

PS> My hubby got me a new pair of Vibram FiveFingers for our anniversary!! He said he was able to spend a little more on my gift because we haven't been eating out hardly at all! :)

Edit to add: My new Chili Classics!

WW Week 11

This week: An average week. Ate pretty much all of my weekly flex points. Spent some time 2 days this week doing my dance/workout videos. I just can't do regular workout activities- I need my exercise disguised as games.. AKA fun! Other than that, I didn't do a whole lot this week, even though it was a busy one. Rob has been working a lot and I've been alone a lot and it's been help push me into depression again. Not good. But, I am not going to give up on my weight loss.

Height: 5'9"
SW (starting weight): 320.8 lbs
CW (current weight): 286.8 lbs (-1.0 lb)
Total Loss: -34 lbs
GW (goal weight): 160/265 lbs (ultimate/short term)

WW Weeks 9 & 10

These weeks: I know, I know, I didn't post last week. I was not happy with my weigh in and I avoided posting because I was mad, embarrassed, and just ticked off about it. It seems like it was my own fault for eating a heavy dinner the night before weigh-in, and also having those heavy left overs for lunch before weigh-in. Thankfully this past Tuesday's weigh-in made up (PLUS SOME!) for last week's pitiful loss. As of this week, I have hit my 10% goal! I have lost 10% of my total starting weight! I am under 290lbs.. which I haven't been under for at least 4 or 5 years. I have to say it feels awesome! I went to an appointment the other day and took the stairs like I usually do, and I sort of ran/hopped up them- and when I got to the top I wasn't huffing at all. I can do this, I will do this, and I will never gain this weight back. EVER!!!
