Weight Watchers week #5

Ok, so I know every week I've been saying that I thought I'd gained weight but seriously, cross my heart, I thought I'd gained 5 lbs this week. We had a big family campout and BBQ last weekend and I scarfed food down like crazy...cobbler, cookies, pasta, chips & dip, etc. Then we got home and ate out at Wendys and then the next day ordered pizza and so I ate pizza for two days and everything else in the house not nailed down (thank you PMS week LOL). Even stepping on the scale yesterday it showed that I'd gained somewhere between 3-5 lbs so I was NOT looking forward to weighing in this evening, felt like the walk of shame as I entered the building. So, I step on the scale and I announce that it's going to be a gain for sure and the lady gets a confused look on her face and she says, "nope, it's a loss of 1.2 lbs" and I seriously told her to shut up! LOL Ok, not in the rude, I'm yelling at someone to shut up way but more of the confused and excited and baffled kind of joking shut up but it threw her off! Oops! I was totally shocked and even though it's barely over 1 lb, I was soooooo excited! So, I'm down 11.6 lbs in 5 weeks and only 1.4 lbs away from my 5% goal! WAHOO!!! One of my husband's best friends is getting married on November 7th and my goal is to lose AT LEAST 20 lbs by then so I can get a cute dress and be feeling all good and get to dance with my handsome hubby in his tux (he's one of three best men)! My hubby is doing awesome with weight loss too! He's lost like 15 lbs in the 5 weeks and he is looking GOOOOOOD! Yes ma'am, my honey is a fine lookin specimen of a man! :O)

So yeah, anyways, not too shabby, not too shabby! Now I just think how much weight I could've lost had I not eaten all that garbage this week! Tomorrow begins a new week and I'm vowing to do better and throw in some 3 mile walks while I'm at it!!!

Goodnight bloggin buddies, thanks for all the support and cheering me on...again, you guys are THE BEST!!!!

  2. I agree with Teresa. When I did WW 6 years ago, eating everything in sight for a couple of days or sometimes the week really messed up my metabolism and gave me a good weight loss week. Yes, eventually it will catch up to you. I am down 4.4lbs in 4 weeks. Sounds good, but the last 2 weeks, I went up the first week by .4 and then maintained this last week. I am hoping next wed. will be some sort of loss. The devotional we found is Today is the first day by Carol(e) Lewis. My sister in law got hers off of Amazon.com. It is food related, which we like. I may have mentioned that in the last post. Good Luck this week!
