I have been on WW for 12 weeks now. At weigh-in last night, I was down 2.6 lbs, for a total of
25.4 lbs gone! Another 20 sticks of butter!
That means I got another gold star for my bookmark and a charm for my key chain that is shaped like a 25 lb weight. I haven't actually gotten the key chain yet, but with any luck I'll have that next week.
You get the key chain when you lose 10% of your body weight. I need to lose another
.6 lbs to get that. Even though I hadn't planned on divulging my starting weight, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that I was up above the 260 mark! I shudder even typing that. I'm so glad I got started on this weight loss journey when I did, I still weigh a lot...but at least I feel like I'm doing something about it.
My challenges are going to come with the upcoming weekend. We will be camping with a group from church. That should be fun, but I'm sure I'll have to have at least one "S'more", and who knows what other temptations will come along. The other challenge will be Sunday evening when my family is throwning me a "surprise" birthday party. Do they really expect me to be surprised?? I had no idea I was turning 50 this year!
However, it does make me feel better knowing all the "cake rules".
My plan is to get in as much walking as I can the next three days, and then while camping, go for walks and do a few laps in the swimming pool. There is another lady camping with us who is one of my WW buddies too which should help. Also, while I've lost these 25 lbs, my husband Ray has lost 30+ too. He's not officially doing WW, but is coming along for the ride. We are trying to plan some "lite" meals for the weekend. Does anyone have any great ideas??
