Congratulations, Kim! You're taking the first step in an incredible journey and you know we're there with you … [Read more...]
Challenges? Ha! I’ve got Tools for That…
Okay, so it's been a little over two weeks now that I've been following the Weight Watchers 360° program, and I'm sure all you want to know is, how much weight have I lost so far? Well, I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm going to put you off a little. It's for a really good reason, though! You see, … [Read more...]
One Down…
Um, wow. It pretty much never happens but you guys have rendered me nearly speechless with your outpouring of support and encouragement on my last post. It's always kind of nerve-racking when you sit down at the computer and prepare to open up about what is pretty much your most shameful "secret" … [Read more...]
Week Two Results
Well, two weeks down and things are still going well. I'm absolutely loving all the "free" fruit and feeling better than ever. AND. The best part? I'm still losing weight. It's not exactly coming off at a fast pace, but it's a reasonable pace. And I have to remind myself: it took nearly two years to … [Read more...]
Dare I?
Dare I even say it? When the whole raison d'être of my blog, Losing It! was to track my original 50 pound weight loss?Ahem. About that. So yeah. I gained it all back. It took several years and a year and a half of personal crisis, but every last pound has been laid back on and I feel absolutely … [Read more...]
BLTs; or How I Gained 0.2 Pounds Last Week
Yes, it's sad but true: when I weighed in at Weight Watchers on Saturday morning, I had actually put on 0.2 pounds. Argh. But, actually: whatever. I've still lost nearly 9 pounds over three weeks, and any way you slice it, that's not too bad. So I chose to take the long view, and I didn't let the … [Read more...]
Here I Go Again
Last Saturday I joined Weight Watchers (I know, again!). In fact, that's how this blog got started and where the title - Losing It! - came from in the first place. See, way back in May 2006 I joined Weight Watchers and started blogging about it. I faithfully chronicled my weight loss journey, … [Read more...]
Oh, I’m Losing It, All Right!
First things first: I lost 0.6 pounds last week, which puts me under 180 lbs, which is where I wanted to be. Well, if you want to get technical, I weigh 179.6 which would actually be 180 if you were rounding up, but I (and Weight Watchers, incidentally) am not, so there. So, whew, that's just over 7 … [Read more...]
Yo-Yo, See-Saw…Call it What You Like: I’m Along for the Ride
If you've been following my progress for a while, you'll know that I originally lost fifty pounds. Then I sort of evened out, and found a good groove. Then, slowly, more and more came creeping back. Until I was back up to 188 and really needed to drop a good twenty pounds. And so I re-joined Weight … [Read more...]
