Okay, so my "weigh in" is on Sundays. But since I am using my house scale for my weigh in I have a bad habbit of checking my weight a few times a week. Well yesterday and this morning my weight was 231.5, which means I'm down 10 pounds. I guess I did lose weight last week. I can't wait till I can see some of the weigh loss. I have a few shirts that I like that were getting a bit too tight. The buttons slip open when I move. I have been trying them on every week to see if there is any change. I'l… Continue

Well I finished up my 3rd week of Weight Watchers. I weighed in yesterday and didn't lose any. This wasn't a big surprise. I had a rough week. My sister was visiting from out of town and I had a wedding full of very yummy bad food.

I know that eating healthy can also help. My question is how much? Can it help a lot or just a bit. Which brings me to another question. How much of my mood swings ar… Continue

Well I weighed in this morning. For me that involved going out to my garage and calling my husband to read the scale for me. Sadly my neck and shoulder are not feeling better today like I hoped. I can't move my head up or down or to the left without lots of pain. So I and to pull my husband away from his riveting new D&D book to tell me what news the scale had to share. My first week results are in. I've lost 5 pounds. :) Part of me wants to be sad I was crossing my fingers for more. But rea… Continue

Well I started Weight Watchers on Sunday... Again. I've been on and off Weight Watchers for 8 years, okay more off than on. Sometimes I would struggle through the diet in a week or two. Then the stress and depression would get to be too much. Sometimes I would only make it about 6 hours. Half way through the day I would be so angry and cranky that I would go into binge mode. I have 4 wonderful children. My oldest is 9 years old, my youngest is turning 3 in a month. (And just potty trained!! Yay!… Continue
