Weight Loss & Reflections
The scale is just one measure of success; changing habits, maintaining self control and making permanent lifestyle changes is my ultimate goal
Made My 10% Goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
| Date | Weight | Weekly |
Total Loss | Average Loss |
Reflections | |
| 1/4/00 | 272.5 | 1-4 Storyboarding covered in my first meeting - I have decided to focus on losing that first 10%. Prepaid 9 weeks since they didn't mention a 12 week plan - big commitment! | ||||
| 1 | 1/11/00 | 267 | -5.50 | -5.5 | -5.5 | 1-11 Excited about the results of my first week! I am very happy that I stayed within points all week but I have only exercised twice in the past two weeks and I want to do more. |
| 2 | 1/18/00 | 265.75 | -1.25 | -6.75 | -3.4 | 1-18 Honestly,
a little disappointed since I expected the first TWO
weeks to show big losses, it can't be slowing down
already?? I will double check my food journals and be
sure I am counting points correctly. 1-24 Pleased that I completed the week working out 5 days out of 7. |
| 3 | 1/25/00 | 260 | -5.75 | -12.5 | -4.2 | 1-25 Wow, last
week was good, can't believe I lost so much! I figure a
couple of those pounds were "owed" to me from
the previous week. 1-30 Been struggling all week with getting enough points, just too full most days- never thought that would happen! Exercised 6 days! |
| 4 | 2/1/00 | 260.25 | +.25 | -12.25 | -3.1 | 2-1
Disappointing to have gained since I was sooo good last
week. I think that eating under minimum was not a good
thing... but don't get disappointed since down 12.25
since starting - doing great!! 2-7 Frustrated since schedule change means I can't do water aerobics as often. Exercised 3X this week. I am going through a tough time, thank goodness for all the support I am getting from S.O. and WW forum. |
| 5 | 2/8/00 | 256.75 | -3.50 | -15.75 | -3.2 | 2-8 Yippee!
Down 15.75 in total so far. 2-14 Only managed to get 2 days of exercise in... but need to focus on good food habits during times of struggle, can't do everything sometimes. |
| 6 | 2/15/00 | 254.25 | -2.50 | -18.25 | -3.0 | 2-15 Hungry toward the end of the week... went over 2 days but had enough banked points this week... worried since going to Disneyland on Monday and will miss Tuesday weigh in. |
| 7 | 2/22/00 | -- | -- | -- | -- | No meeting - in
Disneyland! Used banked points to handle the restaurant
meals, but I still wound up going over by on two days.
Travel is a real challenge for me..... I got a lot of exercise in Disneyland since I must have walked 5 miles a day plus worked out 2 days. |
| 8 | 2/29/00 | 247.7 | -6.50 | -24.75 | -3.1 | 2-29 Very
pleasantly surprised to have such a good 2 week loss!
Down 24.7 in total, just 3 pounds to my 10% goal!!!!!!
This is feeling very real 3-5 Hurt my leg in a hiking accident- swollen and painful due to bruising and broken blood vessels- so no exercise for the remainder of the week. |
| 9 | 3/7/00 | 250 | +2.25 | -22.5 | -2.5 | 3-7 Not sure why the big increase - could it be fluid retention in my fat leg? |
| 10 | 3/14/00 | 247.5 | -2.5 | -25 | -2.5 | 3-14 Earned 25# magnet today! I really need this since I have been so discouraged about the ongoing hassles with my leg. Totally off on activity... feeling bummed. But when I got the magnet, I looked at it and just knew I had come too far to turn back. |
| 11 | 3/21/00 | 244 | -3.5 | -28.5 | -2.6 | 3-21 YIPPEEEEEE!!!!! Hit my 10% with a little to spare. I have been so focused on this goal, I am just delighted to have earned my keychain this week |
| 12 | 3/28/00 | 244 | 0 | -28.5 | -2.4 | 3-26 Has been a rough week... going over
points every day, but at least I am journalizing. I have
lost my 10%, but honestly, I barely notice the
difference. 3-28 Relieved to stay the same this week! I am not sure why this week was so difficult. |
| 13 | 4/4/00 | 242 | -2.0 | -30.5 | -2.3 | 4-2 It's Sunday, and so far I have been
totally back on track and in control. I also looked at
some records from last year and realized that the weight
I have lost since January was weight I gained during the
last six months of 1999. No wonder I don't notice it
much.... I didn't really notice when I gained it either.
My leg is finally a bit better, so I am resuming exercise
again. I worked hard to set my next goal, which I think
was part of my problem last week, feeling directionless.
Whether I lose or gain this week, I know it has been a
good week! I decided to add the total lost and the weekly average column since I tend to lose sight of just how well I am doing sometimes! |
| 14 | 4/11/00 | 240.5 | -1.5 | -32 | -2.3 | 4-11 Went to weigh in and found they cancelled our meeting due to lack of staff. Weigh in only. |
| 15 | 4/21/00 | 240 | -.5 | -32.5 | -2.2 | 4-21 Tried to go to a new meeting time, but got busy at work and didn't make it. Went to "express" weigh in only so this is the second week without a meeting. That is not a good thing since I think the meetings are very important. Still relying on my online friends for support on the weight watchers forum. |
| 16 | 243.5 | +3.5 | 29 | -1.8 | Big gain! Yikes! I really haven't done that well lately. I am feeling kinda bored, kinda lack focus. Seems like I have been tempted by sweets a lot. A little here, a little there, is really adding up. | |
| 17 | 5/1/00 | 242.5 | -1 | 30 | -1.8 | Found my new permanent meeting home! I really like this leader and her enthusiasm is contagious. I bought the "Simply the Best" cookbook since I really need some new food ideas. I am determined to stay focused! I really want to see the 230's on that scale soon! |
| 18 | 5/9/00 | 240 | -2.5 | 32.5 | -1.8 | 5-9 I am so very happy to be back on track. Was a little worried since overdid it at the Mariner's game and a couple of big meals out. I did a good job of banking points for those events though, guess it paid off! |
