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...]
Superior Salads
So, I mentioned a little while ago that I'm back at Weight Watchers. Yeah. That's been a long time coming. You know, I've been through a year and a half of rough times, and every time I would soothe myself with food I'd know it wasn't the best thing to do, and yet I'd keep right on doing it ... … [Read more...]
At Last. And on Track.
Whew! After two straight weeks of weight gain, I am back on track...and in a really good way. After last week's weigh-in (which I couldn't even bring myself to write about), when I gained 0.4 pounds (and yes, I know, that's not very much) I was so discouraged. You see, I'd felt so positive about my … [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...]
So Saucy
So, the daily battle rages in my current weight loss journey. See, the problem is: I really, really dig food. When I'm eating, I love all the wonderful sensations - the textures, the tastes, the temperatures. I love the way I feel after a particularly satisfying meal. And I don't just love eating: I … [Read more...]
Shooting for 5%
Look at me go! I lost weight again last week: I was down 1.2 pounds at Saturday's Weight Watchers meeting, for a total loss of 8.6 pounds in a mere two weeks -- still well ahead of the 1-2 pounds per week guidelines. I hope that I can lose another 1.4 pounds this week, so that I can hit the ten … [Read more...]
Go, Me!
Yesterday was my second Weight Watchers meeting (for this go-round, anyway). I knew I had done pretty well: I'd stayed on the program (despite a road trip to Edmonton to visit my BFF), and usually you get a pretty dramatic result the first week. So I had a figure in mind, around four or five pounds, … [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...]
It’s that fat time of year again.
You think I'd learn. You think that I would maybe, at some point, figure out that I get fat in the winter. And you think that I'd actually do something about it. You think after all these years I might even have the willpower to prevent it so that I don't have to go through this yet again.Especially … [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...]
