After taking a small hiatus for the holiday season, I am back, and ready to continue LOSING! I have been back on program since January 9, 2006, and had an AWESOME weigh in. I am down -5.2 lbs today! Unfortunately, those 5.2 lbs are the ones that I had GAINED over the Christmas holiday up in Utah. I guess eating what you want doesn’t always bring the best results in the end.
Christmas was wonderful; had a fabulous time in Utah with my family. The weather was cold, there wasn’t much snow, but it still makes a more wintery scene than Southern California; because 80 degree weather and egg nog is just not my cup of tea.
Below is the most recent picture I have of Josh and I where we aren’t bundled up in tons of winter clothes. This was his 33rd birthday on Dec 17, 2005 at Tokyo Wako in Long Beach.
Happy New Year and many blessings to everyone for a happy and healthy 2006!

This picture was taken with my best friend Carolyn on August 16, 2002, on my wedding day. My actual weight is completely unknown. Scroll down to see my progress…
This picture was taken September 16, 2004 at my sister’s wedding. I weighed approximately 285 lbs. Keep scrolling down to see what I look like a little over a year later….

This week is my official 5th month on Weight Watchers, and what better way to commemorate Halloween than to have a weigh in with a total loss of 66.6 lbs! Spooky! My leader LOADED me up with 5 lb stars to congratulate me on my loss. I wasn’t so sure I had a good week, but after my weigh in, I guess I did okay. I lost 3.8 lbs this week, which suits me just fine!
How about a cute Halloween ticker just because…..

Really bad picture, but it’s me! I’m actually having a hard time trying to figure out what the heck I weigh now that I have begun attending Weight Watcher meetings. I have gone from weighing in at home, naked, with an empty stomach on Monday mornings, to weighing in fully clothed, food in my tummy, on Wednesdays at noon. I figured my clothes weighed 2.2 lbs today, which would have brought my weight to 221.8 lbs. My weigh in at WW today was 224.0, so it’s safe to say 221.8 is what I weigh. I must say though, that I have had an ultimately rough week since seeing the doctor on the 19th. Check my blog later for the actual saga. I don’t feel like typing it in this one

The whole reason why I decided to start attending Weight Watchers meetings…so I could get my tiny “I Did It..50lbs” magnet! Just kidding! I did earn my 50lbs lost star today, as well as 16 5lb stars for my 55lbs lost, but my real victory was my weigh in. I have decided to start getting weighed in at meetings now, and I have lost 6.6 lbs since my weigh in last week! I was so stoked! I have the most fantastic leader (thanks, Shelley) and she has given me that spark of determination that I needed to get back on track. I have been doing real well, and I decided to take the day off from work today to pamper myself. I got my nails done, and I bought some new clothes. I am extremely proud to say that I am now in Lane Bryant’s smallest size (size 14)! I started WW wearing a size 26-28. It’s amazing what a few months can do! I can now wear size XL in Old Navy clothes, and I haven’t been able to fit into their clothes in about 5 years…great NSV today! Woo Hoo!

Today was a day of negotiation and unloading… I had my weigh in today, and lost another 1.4 lbs, which brings my grand total to 60.6 lbs GONE FOREVER! Well, hopefully forever. I have been struggling this last month to get to my 60 lb goal, and finally, I did it! However, I have felt really fat lately. I don’t see as much of a difference as I did before. Sure, I am down 5 pant sizes, but I am still FAT! I am less that 3 lbs from my half way goal, but I just don’t LOOK like I have lost that much! I still keep getting the “What did you do differently with your hair” comment, and honestly, it’s getting old. I realized I was a tub, so if people ask me if I have lost weight, it is not going to hurt my feelings! Geez!
Anyways, after unloading a bit of weight today, I also unloaded the Kirby vac. The salesman showed up here about 9pm tonight, and I really thought he was going to flake, but he didn’t. He was however, a total jerk when he came to get it. He was bragging about the fact he sold 5 vacs today in Long Beach, and I replied with “Well, then you shouldn’t be acting like such a jerk just because someone decided to cancel their contract.” I assured him if I was in a position to buy the vac again, he would be the first person I would call. I told him if he didn’t drop the attitude, he would lose the deal. By the end of the deal, he had actually knocked the price of the vacuum down by 50%, which leads me more to believe that Josh and I were totally hosed from the get go. Even more of a reason to return the damn thing!
Our van decided to give us trouble again, too. I have a client who is interested in buying it, and he even showed up to my office with a check today, but no can do right now. I think there is a radiator leak somewhere, and I as an honest person, cannot sell someone a car when I don’t know what condition it is currently in. Just makes me realize I made a good decision about giving up the Kirby…the salesman proceeded to clean it up right in my living room with the intent of reselling it to some poor sucker tomorrow. I’m just glad that sucker isn’t me!

How about I throw in a ticker in anticipation for Fall……

I was so close to hitting that 60 lbs gone mark today, but it’s okay…I am only .8 lbs to go! I had a great loss this week; I was focused, and I stayed totally on program this week, and didn’t even use up all my points. I have an obsessive compusion with Souplantation (I ate there 3 times this week!), but it’s okay too, because all I eat there are salads and a bowl of low fat chicken soup. I honestly could eat there every single day, but I don’t want to burn out the love of my FAVORITE restaurant! Check out the ticker….
Have a wonderful and relaxing Labor Day!!!!
