My First "Thursday Weigh In"

If you've been following my blog, you'll remember last Thursday I joined Weight Watchers (if you want to read all my reasons for joining - again - and what I'm going to do different, you can get caught up HERE).  And I decided that I would report each week on my "weigh in day" how I did.  (I figure I could use the support of you guys either cheering me on, or wiping away my tears, or talking me down from going to McDonalds...)
  
So, here goes.  Drumroll please........................

I lost 4 pounds! Woot!!!

Now, I know I can't expect to lose 4lbs every week - I know according to Weight Watchers that's more than they want you to lose in a week, but I ate all my "points" - I didn't starve myself or anything.  (And it's not because I'm suddenly drinking more water because I always drink a ton of water all the time, diet or no diet - I know for a lot of people that's why they have a big loss the first week.) (And no, I didn't sneak in a diet pill either!)  Oh well, I know there will be weeks when I don't lose anything at all, so you will have to remind me of this extra good weigh in! :-)

I was actually really curious to see how I would do.  In the past when I've done Weight Watchers I have focused a lot on exercise and earning activity points that I could "eat".  But I don't regularly exercise when I'm not on Weight Watchers, so this time I decided to try to be as "normal" as I could (HA HA) so that hopefully once I lose the weight (AGAIN) maybe I'll do better at keeping it off and not rely on exercise I don't do, or Boca Burgers that I don't eat when I'm not on Weight Watchers.  So, I was curious to see without really exercising how I would do.  Clearly, the results show this strategy is not holding me back, so, yay!

And I didn't have much trouble "getting back in the saddle" with Weight Watchers - it was pretty easy to slip back into doing it.  21 lbs to go!

(I'm eating a Lean Cusine spinach & mushroom pizza while I type this. All the pizzas are pretty bad to be honest. And the "paninis" are even worse. I know a lot of people like them, but they honestly make me gag.  My two fave frozen entrees are the Smart Ones 3 Cheese Ziti and the Smart Ones Lasagna.  I had some Thai one the other day with noodles and peanut sauce that I think may become one of my new faves, it might have been Lean Cuisine.)

Anyone else have any news to report on your quests to get healthy? I'll be happy to cheer you on, wipe away your tears, or talk you down from McD's if you need it! :-D

The end.
 
P.S.  Cindy informed me in the comments that she is doing a Wednesday weigh in...well Thursday is close enough to Wednesday, isn't it?  So I'm joining up with her, and you can see how she's doing too over at Fenced in Family's Wednesday Weigh In. 
 
Ok, totally never thought losing weight could be anything but torture, but this could actually be fun!
