Well, I didn't hit the official 20 pound mark.....I hit the official 21.6 pound mark!!
That means I am losing 3 pounds a week, which is at the low end of the amount promised by Ideal Protein of 3-4 lbs. for women.
I am not fanatical as anyone who reads regularly knows so I guess 3 is good considering my imperfection! And with Weight Watchers I was only losing about .2-.4 of one pound per week, I can't complain about 3 pounds!
Soon(like by next week!) I will be under 170 pounds which I have not seen in over 3 years. The pants I am wearing today are so big, I can take them off without unzipping! I also had to toss a bra this morning. I put it on and when I raised my arms to put on a tank top, the bra jumped right up over my boobs! Well, that's not going to work, now is it?!
Next week, I want to have the nurse practitioner take my measurements again being I was at the 12 pound mark the last time we checked them.
I walked about 2 1/2 miles today, as well, which I don't do often enough. I don't seem to find the time which is nonsense because I do have time for it, if I try. I tend to make excuses. I have a cross-country ski machine which is uncomfortable to do right now because my neck has been bothering me for the last week and a half and the arm movements put stress on it.
I need to just get in the car and go to the park and walk but somehow I don't. I have to make it a habit. At least today it was my idea and I asked my fiance to come with me. If he said no, I was going anyway, which I never do alone. I have to get over not liking to walk alone! Once I try something a couple times I am ok, but have a hard time getting started.
Gotta go, I am missing Jeopardy! We love calling out the answers and we tend to know different things so it makes it fun. My sweetheart rocks the history and I am better with science and pop culture.

YAAAAAY for Linny, who actually IS getting skinny! Over 20 Linny!!! Can you believe it? I remember when you started it seems like that was yesterday, but now you've lost 4 bags of sugar (5 lb bags of course)! That's great. Keep up the good work. I'm going for WI# 4 this morning. Keep your fingers crossed for me. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa!
ReplyDeleteLet me know how it goes!
Last time Roy & I went to the supermarket, I held up a 5 lb. bag of potatoes and handed it to him and told him I had lost 4 of them. I think that brought it home a bit for him b/c of seeing me every day he doesn't see the loss so much. I am not a fast loser but am happy w/ the 3 per week I am losing.
Write me when you get back to bring me up to date w/ your loss!
HI! Down 4.5 more!!! :) That brings me to 18.25 in 4 weeks. I'm so happy! I just might make my "mini goal" of 22 lbs by my cruise (May 2nd). I love this diet. It really does work. Hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! You are putting me to shame! Wow-now you are motivating me to do better!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna start trying to stay in a 19 - 23 grams of carbs per day restriction. I'm using FitDay.com to track everything. I hope that will make even a bigger difference. :) WE can do this!!!
