Friday Weigh-In


It was exactly two weeks ago that I joined Weight Watchers (AKA "The Cult"). At the time, I told you all that I would check in every Friday and let you know how I was doing - and you all could check in as well. Today is my second "Friday Weigh-In".

The Cult also makes you weigh-in once a week - either at a meeting or online. I am an online member, and I picked Mondays to be my official weigh-in day.

These two different weigh-in days have produced an unexpected benefit. It forces me to really watch myself over the weekend, the time that I'm most likely to cheat. And so far it is working.

I was not as good this past week as I was during week one. I had a "special occasion" on Saturday and pigged out at a Barbecue restaurant (biscuits and gravy!!). I also drank this week - which used to be a 3-4 times/week occurrence, but is now down to about 3 times/month. I also can't seem to get into an exercise routine. The only form of exercise I enjoy is walking, but I need to do something a little more intense to help get my metabolism moving.

So, needless to say, I didn't expect much this week. But this morning I was pleasantly surprised - I lost 6 pounds! That is 14 pounds in two weeks!!! I am beyond thrilled, and I'm starting to think The Cult may have a lifetime member.

So - how did YOU do this week?...

    i hear ya, cardio sucks!!
    except i do like walking too, which i used to do all the time when i lived in nyc, before i knew anyone in the city i used to do walking tours of the city with a guide book, and the added benefit was exercise as a concentrated 2-3 hour walk!
    its takes the omg, i got to exercise buzz kill, out of the equation
    good luck

    Charlie -

    I'm not a big dessert person. My weakness is anything between two slices of bread (or on a bun/roll/etc.).

    Hey - 2 lbs is nothing to sniff at - GOOD JOB!!

    XOXOXO

    good, good, good! :-))

    I did *not* buy candy corn.
    I did *not* find the trick or treating candy Dear Daughter has hidden.
    I did *not* force my sophomore student to eat his physics book (oops, not on topic, but an accomplishment all the same...)

    That's awesome David!

    I did pretty good this week, up until 10 minutes ago when I ate four fun size candy bars lol! That is big improvement over last year when I probably ate about 12 at a time.

    My next weigh-in is on Monday so I'll let you know.

    Yay! Great job!

    When I last checked my weight, I think I had lost a couple more pounds...but I'm not really keeping track of it. Fortunately, being a poor college student has made the whole family re-evaluate our food buying habits (now if it we can only make it stick).

    You are doing so well! I am totally proud of you with all this! You've averaged 7 lbs a week so far! Yea!!! You and WW are a good match. The Cult works for you. Maybe you can post progress pictures every month.

    I had a good week and kept my blood sugar in the normal range except for one time when I didn't do all my stuff and did do someone else's! Sin! Sin! Right now I'm working on that and haven't weighed because I need new scales. The one I have now is erratic and weird. I'm going to buy new ones and get them at the same weight as the ones at my doctor's. I'll have a report on the weight next week.

    I'm still walking around the lake and now need to add the gym to it. Just keep walking - you live in a perfect city for walking. Maybe you can add some exercises at home.
