Well dangit....I MADE IT!!!

Never ever ever did I think that I could finally stick to a New Year's Resolution.  But I underestimated myself.  I am soooo proud of my accomplishments this last year.  Once I drilled into my head that Weight Watchers IS NOT A DIET, it became easy...almost like a game!  As soon as you realize that you can eat the foods you love, the goal becomes more achievable.

BUT

It takes WORK!   Measuring, counting, logging.....If you are not willing to do the work, sticking to this will be difficult...

Well.....

This time last year, I weighed in at 263 lbs.  Today, My weight was 221.8!  I have lost more weight than my daughter weighs (she is 32 lbs...I have lost 41.2) It is just amazing to feel how heavy she seems and then think about the fact that I have lost more than that.

I survived the holidays.....gaining 3.3 lbs.

I am proud of the way I look and the way I feel.  I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for me!  I WILL HIT ONEDERLAND!!!!!

I repeat...a picture is worth a million words....

Where the heck have I been?   Well since my last post, I have lost some weight and gained a little....But right now, I stand at 217.5.

I had been losing a little motivation, not tracking everything, not exercising......UNTIL TODAY!!!!  I finally decided that I want that 50 lbs lost!!!  Not sure if that can happen before Thanksgiving as I initially hoped BUT I hope to turn things around this week.

Adding in more activity and ridding my house of all of the snacks that have been staring me in the face over the last week should help.

Yesterday, one of my patients, a 90 year old woman who I see every 4 months, couldn't get over how much I have changed.  She described me as looking 'divine' 'healthy' 'skinny'....she even said "your husband has got to LOVE the changes in you...."   Made me feel like a million bucks....

There is NO WAY IN HELL that I will EVER look in the mirror and see that before picture of myself.  I can't go there anymore.

Anyhow....here are some new pics...

Look at your girl's hips!  Loving the shape!

DON'T LET ONE DAY RUIN IT FOR YOU!

Weigh in Monday!!!

OK.  I was quite afraid for weigh in today.  Why?  Went to the state fair and feasted on some:
Fried Wisconsin Mozarella with Ranch,

Ate some of a Turkey Leg,

had a little cotton candy AND

two candy apples.

I SOOOO wanted that deep fried snickers bar but that was pushing it.

 

*Licks Screen*

After all of that, I went through the weekend wanting to continue to eat...junk!  But I didn't.  I just kept telling myself that I deserved a treat!  I am not going to overdo it.  My husband kept saying to me, its just one day!  You will be fine.  Just watch the rest of the weekend.....

And I did just that.

Well It seems that even though I ate that Junk this weekend, I still managed to lose 2 lbs!  I am 216.5!

That's 46.5 lbs total!  Only 3.5 lbs to go to reach my mini goal of 50 lbs lost before Thanksgiving!  That is TOTALLY doable!

I guess it really IS okay to wipe out those extra weeklies!

I am soooo proud!  I feel great, I look great! I can't remember the last time I was able to say that about myself.

SN: The FOOD pics above ARE NOT MINE!  LOL  Got them through google.
