ONE-DER-LAND

So a couple of times in the past two weeks, I actually hit the magical land of ONE-DER-LAND i.e. under 200 lbs! I took a photo of the scale the first time it happened (which turned out to be no easy task because the darn thing kept timing out before I could get my camera ready so I had to weigh 3 times to get the picture! *LOL*)

However, my official weigh-in this week was 201.5 so my body is playing games with me. I like the feeling of "one der land" and hope I get down to the point where I never see 200 lbs.

I measured and found that I have lost 8 inches in my butt and 7 inches in my waist (well not being a young thing, my waistline went the way of the nickle beer).

Nothing fits me, not even my undie panties and I don't have a clue what size I am. I haven't been this small forever... (at least 25 or more years). I now weigh 8 lbs more than I did when I had our son in 1969 (of course, I thought I was horribly fat then because I started in the pregnancy at 149 or 150 lbs... my low weight is 198.5.

In looking at some summer photos, I realize that last summer I weighed like in the low 240's or high 230's so this summer might be fun as far as skimpier clothing etc. Right now, it's warm clothing cover up time... :(

down and STUCK

I'm down to 203 (that's 64 lbs lost) and STUCK. The old plateau. Well, I knew it had to happen and I really am pretty happy at this weight so will hang in there... :)

63 lbs down

Weight this week was 204. 63 lbs down and 24 from my doctor set goal.

This week, with hubby home for the holidays and busy-ness, I didn't have time to eat a lot so have had low points which is NOT good because can injure the metabolism.

Rode the new light rail and took photos. Like the look. :)

Found out I have been made a "poster child" for weight loss on one of the message areas.

Pretty cool.

61 lbs down

This week, I didn't weigh as much as I usually do because I've sort of reached my goal (although staying totally "legal" on Weight Watchers and intending to do so for the rest of my life because I do not want to regain the weight).

The weight was 206 - loss of 1/2 lb which is much more what I'd like to lose each week (more healthy to lose more slowly). Last week, did not deplete my flex points and since WW is no longer minusing exercise points - well only AFTER flex points were depleted, I had a "light eating week". Things are getting busy now and sometimes just don't have time to eat a lot during the day so grab a balance bar and a milk and call it "lunch". :)

I did have fun holding my great granddaughter (who is ADORABLE!) though. (photo) Life isn't all about dieting! :)

my all time low!!

As of this morning, I weighed 206.5 which is my all time low. I stood there and stared at the number for a while. It looked BEAUTIFUL. Because I have now taken off the 60 lbs I gained after I stopped attending Weight Watcher meetings in the end of 2004 and I am actually at an all time low in 25 years.... This time I'm not quittin' - staying with Weight Watchers on line and I hope to keep going with my weight loss!

Hit minor Nirvana

This week I weighed 208 three times so can take that to the bank, I think. And that is only ONE POUND from my lowest in 2004.

Now, ideally to keep going and get under 200 would be nice! :)

Slowly....

Last week with the stress of the election (which is OVER [for better or for worse] THANK HEAVENS) I got ill on Friday and couldn't eat. And Saturday I weighed 209 which is only 2 lbs from the magic 207 that I was in 2004. However, after Saturday and Sunday when I ate normally (my right amount of points) I was back up to 211. Well, that's only 4 lbs from the magic number but it's going slowly.

And even with days off from exercise (2 last week) my hamstring injury doesn't seem to be much better.

Can stress interfere with weight loss? :)

Onward and upward...
