Four months

As of today, Jan. 13, 2012, I have been on WW for 4 months. Four TRUE months, not just the 16 weeks like I got a while back.

Where am I now (two weeks in Jan used as average):

	Then (Sept)	Now (mid Jan)
Weight	227.8lbs	194.8lbs
DPA	38	33
AVG Water Drank	5.5c	9.9c
Exercise	none	sporadic

Here are somethings that are making me happy:

• I see the difference in pictures.
• My clothes are fitting better.
• I haven't had to spend money on new clothes yet.
• I've got time to lose more weight before I get pregnant because it just isn't happening for me right now. (pro)

Here are the things that aren't making me happy:

• People aren't noticing my changes (except those who know).
• I'm finding myself so bored with my computer but I don't know what to do. I know I won't feel rested enough for work if I go out nightly and socialize and just get away from the computer and it's so dark at night so it's hard to be motivated to go out.
• I've got time to lose more weight before I get pregnant because it just isn't happening for me right now. (con)

Here are some activities I'd like to try this month:

• bowling
• jazzercise or another exercise class
• ice skating
• roller skating (if we have a rink)
• taking the dog to the dog park

I know it's just January but for some reason Jan. to June seems to fly by. I'm trying to think of things I can do to get outside with friends during the summer. I know Meg probably won't be working so maybe her and I can do things with their kiddos. Baby "I" should be crawling easy by then (at 10 months) and I'm sure he'd love the kiddie water parks and Toddler "V" would love them too. She'll turn 2 at the end of July.

Summer 2010 I got into a gym daily on a guest pass with a friend and we worked out together every a.m. almost. I wonder if there's a good deal on a summer pass I can get. I'm determined by my first day of work in the 2012-2013 school year to be below 177lbs which is where everyone saw me at my lowest. I'm about 20lbs away from that and if I manage to make my 5lbs a month, I'll have that in 4 months easily which should be May-ish so I should have no prob being below 177.

I'd love to have a 2012 baby, and I know my chances of that run until about mid April but at the same time I'm not sure I'm ready to gain weight again. I'll be really happy if I get pregnant and I know there's no guarantee that the pregnancy will result in a baby but I'm torn. This is literally on my mine 80% of the time when I'm not working and probably still 50% of the time at work. Oh well, there's nothing I can do at the moment so it's out of my hands.

Sixteen Weeks

Where am I now:

	Then (Sept)	Now (Dec)
Weight	227.8lbs	198.0lbs
DPA	38	33
AVG Water Drank	5.5c	7.8c
Exercise	none	sporadic

Keep in mind, some habits changed RIGHT away too like the amount of food and water I consumed. So my now and me before Sept are even more radically different.

Three months

I've been on WW for 3 months!

Total weeks: 13
Total weight lost: 26.8lbs

That's just over 2lbs a week average. I'm so happy with myself and I feel so great. I don't notice many differences in my appearance but today I wore a shirt I haven't worn since I started gaining back my weight last year.

ONE MORE POUND until I'm out of the 200s!!!!

Two months

Woohoo! As of November 13, I've been on WW for two months. I'm happy with my progress and still going strong. I hope to lose 7.2lbs by Jan 3 (first new years WI) that's 7 weeks and that will put me at 200lbs and let me start the new year in ONEDERLAND! :)

One month

I've been on weight watchers for just over a month now. I feel good, I've lost 13.4 lbs in a month. I wish this had made noticeable changes in certain ways so that we could be trying for a baby, but so be it. I'm still very happy when I'm not thinking about the baby situation =P

These are the things I like:

• feeling great at the scale when I lose more than I thought
• eating healthy
• feeling happier
• treats like candy/chocolate/chips, really are treats, not every day occurrences
• getting excited about new low point items I find
• being so picky that fancy holiday dinners just don't appeal and it's like a regular week for me :) see Thanksgiving
• being motivated

These are the things I don't like:

• Canada has a terrible selection of low fat good for you versions of classics like pillsbury dough, hot dogs, frozen dinners, ketchup, etc.
• being so picky that new veggies and stuff don't appeal to me
• time moves too slowly. Why isn't it Tuesday every day?
