Post Christmas update

Christmas is over... and I am so excited to get back to the straight and narrow after all the crazy Christmas eating I did!

We had a great time with family and enjoyed it completely! Despite all the crazy yummy food we consumed, my weight this morning is 214.2, only 0.2 pounds up from where I was prior to our anniversary two weeks ago, the start of the downward spiral food wise! Very pleased with that number.

I am looking forward to starting a new year already having lost a significant amount of weight-we're already ahead of the game! : )

Oh, and made a surprising discovery this morning that Cocoa Krispies are only 3 points plus per serving, which was very exciting for me, as cereal is usually my breakfast of choice and I was getting tired of only eating total raisin bran and shredded wheat. Yay for more choices!

Progress:


Steph:

Starting weight: 237.5 lbs
Current weight: 214.2 lbs

Total weight loss: 23.3 lbs

Jake:

Current weight: 259 lbs

Total weight loss: 31 lbs

Quick update

It's been a while since I updated our progress, and for good reason-the Christmas season has made it very difficult for us to keep our weights stable!  I'd rather not post when my weight is constantly going up and down due to the many get togethers and special events that make it hard to eat the way I want to.  I am up 2.6 pounds to 216.6, but that's okay since we haven't been eating very well and have been enjoying ourselves during this month.  After Christmas, things should be back on an even keel again.  This week we are hoping to lose a little bit of weight in between this last weekend and Christmas weekend so that the carnage from Christmas won't be too bad.  Overall, I'm still pleased with where we are.

Weekend update

Despite indulging last night in some delicious Gorgonzola pasta, which I was sure would destroy the day for me, this morning I am down to 214.0, nearly 2 pounds less than Friday! Yippee!!  Jake is also down 0.4 pounds.  Happy dance!  This brings our totals currently to 23.5 pounds lost for me and 32.5 pounds for Jake!

Daily update

Today's weigh-in is 215.8!! I am down 0.6 pounds from yesterday! So excited! And Jake is down to 258, bringing his total weight loss to 32 pounds and mine to nearly 22!

Daily update.....Big news!!!

Morning all........big news on today's update........Jake has hit the 30-lb mark this morning!!!!!! I am so proud of him I can't stand it!! He looks fantastic, and I can't wait to see how he looks in another 30 pounds!

As for me, I am down to 216.8 this morning, down 0.6 pounds from yesterday! 217 didn't last long, that's for sure! Good day for both of us! : )

Daily update

This morning I am proud to say I am at 217.4! Hit the 20-lb mark and passed it by 0.1!! Feels so good to finally get to this milestone!! My next goal is to break 200...I am getting closer every day!

Two months on Weight Watchers!

Today marks two months on Weight Watchers.  I am so happy that we decided to start this journey together, and so pleased with where we are today!

I almost don't like weighing in after the weekends because I'm almost guaranteed not to lose any weight, and this weekend did not disappoint.  It was a busy weekend, so we ate out quite a bit.  However, I am still at my weight from Friday, which is good.  Not losing is so much better than gaining!

Daily update (Or.....so close I can taste it!!)

Today's weigh-in is 217.8!!! I lost 0.6 pounds from yesterday, bringing me 0.3 pounds away from the 20-pound mark, which I briefly experienced Thanksgiving morning before the massacre! : )

Realizing that it's taken me a week to get back to where I was has really stressed for me the importance of not overdoing it on holidays.  I don't want to have to do this every time I decide to indulge! It's just not worth it.  I'm going to be much more careful on Christmas food-wise, although the wine will probably set me back a little, and I can't have Christmas day without Liebfraumilch and Jennifer, my lovely sister-in-law! <3

Daily update

218.4 this morning!! Lost 0.6 pounds, my biggest daily loss in about a week! Finally broke the horrible 219 purgatory I've found myself in since just after Thanksgiving. I'm not going back there again!

Thanks everybody for your awesome encouragement as we keep going with this.  We are so thankful for your support!
