Slow week for me...

At my weigh in last week I was down 0.6lbs, which just about balances out my gain from the weigh-in before that! LOL! This next one should be better, though, because I increased my days at the gym last week. I had a really good workout yesterday morning, nice and early while the gym was quiet. A good start to a Sunday, right? Have a great week!

Disappointing Day, BUT

This week's weigh-in isn't good :( I ended up gaining .2 of a pound this past week. I just know that popcorn at the movies on Sunday did it to me again! When will I learn???

BUT......I just did my monthly measurements & I've lost another 4 1/2 inches this past month!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!! :)

I'll get over this road block.....I WILL!!! I refuse to quit! The word quit isn't even in my dictionary anymore :)

Till next week (and hopefully a better week!),

36 POUNDS GONE!!!

I couldn't believe it when I got on the scale this morning.....I am now down a total of 36 pounds! 36!!! I've lost 3.2 pounds this past week :) So here's hoping that I did indeed break my plateau & hopefully, for good!

The other day, I received an email to do a 'virtual belly flattener' where they take up to 50 pounds off of a picture that you submit. I submitted the above picture taken of me last month & this is the results.....what I hope to look like another 50 pounds from now:

Talk about motivation!!! I printed the photo & have it hanging on my fridge :) The only thing I didn't like about the picture is how flat my butt is, lol.

You can do your own virtual belly flattener by going to this site:

Have fun & I'd love to see your results.

In other news, I had a job interview yesterday at our gym & just got a call this morning that I got the job :) I start next week & although it's only a couple of days a week that I'll be working, I think it'll be a LOT of fun!

Have a wonderful weekend & keep movin'!

One of those weeks for me...

I was up 0.8lbs this week - ugh! It's OK, though - at least I can put it down to not getting to the gym as much as I should have :) I'd feel worse about it if I had worked my butt off all week long! LOL!

So...I'm back on track, better so far this week. I'm still getting used to being so much busier with work, school, house, etc., but I'll get there! I'm in this for the long haul! I refuse to go back to shopping at Lane Bryant!

Just A Little Loss

Not much of a loss this week.....only .4 of a pound. But it's still a loss, right? I guess that birthday dinner didn't help afterall. And then on Tuesday night at bowling, one of my teammates brought in a birthday cake for me so I'm sure that didn't help much, either. But it was SO good :) And sometimes, we need a little treat once in a while.

So, to date, I'm down 32.8 lbs. Hopefully next week I'll have a bigger loss to report.

Until then,
Benita

Update from me :)

No weigh-in at WW for me this past week due to Labor Day, but I did hop on the scale at home and am down another 0.6lbs, making my total 17.1lbs down :) I'll take it!! I went to the gym 5 days this week, and 2 of them were to work out with my trainer ("getting my butt kicked", as I tell Iain). Man, was I sore the following day - but it was a good kind of sore!

Weekly Weigh-In

This past week has been a hard one for me, having to deal with the anniversary of losing my sister & brother-in-law 4 years ago on the 29th of August. But somehow, even with all the depression I've been going through, I still managed to lose 1.6 lbs. this past week for a total of 32.4 pounds gone. But I'll probably gain that 1.6 lbs. back & then some tonight as it's my birthday today & I'll be going out to dinner. I told my dh that I didn't want a cake this year.....that would have really thrown me off track! Plus I just haven't been in the mood for sweets that much anymore, which is a good thing :)

Have a great weekend!
