So this was week three at WW, and I finally lost something. 3.6 pounds! I couldn't be happier. I've worked hard at this, but it hasn't been as challenging as I thought it would be. As long as I stock up on the right foods, I'm almost never hungry. We had the in-laws over on Memorial Day. I served a relatively healthy meal. Hubby bbq'ed steaks, but since I'm a vegetarian I had him throw a veggie kielbasa on the grill and it was yummy. I also made a low-fat ratatouille from the WW cookbook. My mot… Continue

I started WW about nine days ago and followed it perfectly. I was SOOOO damned good. Before I ate anything I checked to see if it was on Core. I wouldn't eat it if it wasn't Core. I exercised and everything. Then -- last Wednesday when I went for my first weigh-in, I was actually UP 2/10 of a pound. I couldn't frickin believe it!! I was sure I had lost weight because I was so good. That was my birthday too. So I almost lost it. I went home and ate tortialla chips with cheese sauce. Then my husba… Continue

My birthday is coming up in two days. A little bit ago my dear sweet mother-in-law invited us over for dinner this weekend to celebrate my birthday. I love her, I really do. She is the best cook in the world, but she slathers everything in thick buttery, cheesy sauces. She herself is thin. "I'm sorry, " I said. "I'm dieting and I don't want you to go to all that work.. . .I really won't be eating much of whatever you fix." "Oh honey," she says, "You don't need to lose weight." "Yeah, well, I'm… Continue

I got the little Weight Watchers pedometer so I can keep track of activity points. I've been wearing it to work and I'm surprised how much I walk there. I logged in four miles today. Normally I do a lot of standing, but I've been parking further away from the door and using every opportunity I can to walk around more rather than just standing. I've been walking on my breaks and during lunch too. Normally my feet get so tired from standing, but the walking really makes a difference because I actu… Continue

I didn't start out so well with the first day. I didn't blow it, but got sick with the flu. Unfortunately right after the meeting I went grocery shopping. There was nothing in the store I could have since I'm doing CORE--there's a deli there, but everything had either white rice or bread on it, in it or around it--Normally I eat nuts for a snack, but that's not on the Core diet, so I got a bag of carrots and started munching on them throughout the store. I was feeling pretty good about this-- th… Continue
