A Little Weight Loss Update

The pounds are not exactly flying off, but I've lost 7.5 lbs this summer (4.8 lbs since I started going back to meetings).  So that's at least heading in the right direction.  Katie and I have been attending Weight Watchers meetings faithfully, and I'm sure Pia will join us as soon as she wraps up her camp job.  And I'm getting out walking at least a couple of times a week.  So improvements are being made, a bit at a time.

I am going to see if I can REALLY do a good job this week in keeping track of everything (like a good WW is supposed to do).  Keeping my food and activity journals accurately every day, taking a vitamin daily, drinking liquids (esp water, although WW lets you count everything except pop and booze as a liquid now), and getting in 5 fruit and veg servings every day.  Will report results next Wednesday after my weekly meeting.

And I'm thinking if I actually follow the program like I'm supposed to, I'll see a pretty significant weight loss :-)  Imagine that!

Juice doesn't count against?! Weird. You have the touch right? Kip downloaded an app that keeps track of the food count. I bet WW has an app too!

And yay on 7.5 pounds. That's awesome

no I only have a really ghetto Cricket phone now bc I am a poor. :-( But WW has the tracker on line so it's easy to keep a journal. No excuses. And juice DOES count as points, but fruit is zero now which is great. Zaids, remember how furious I was when WW said carrots were a point? LOL, but those kinds of things make you cray-cray when you are dieting.

Thanks for the encouragement gals! I need it. The pounds do NOT come off so fast when you are old and a sluggo.
