Allison's Getting back to pre-pregnancy weight

Had my official weigh in this morning, and I lost 3 pounds. :hurray:
I actually think it's a little more, because we had Chinese food last night, and I always retain water after chinese food, but I'll take the 3 pounds!!
 
I have not cheated even once on my WW points. I feel really good about myself and my program. When I'm hungry, I have a small 1 or 2 point snack, so I never let myself starve. I can see the difference in my clothes already.
 
I haven't been writing much becasue nothing bad has been happening. I've been on points everyday. Staying active, not cheating. I don't have anything bad to report.

Tomorrow is weigh in day.
 
I weighed in this morning and even though I did lose 1 pound, I have to say I am really disappointed with it. I syated on points all week, never cheated once, and I didn't even use all my flex points. I had about 26 flex points left for the week.
Plus I took an Alli pill before every meal.
First of all, if I'm only going to lose 1 pound, why bother taking the alli pills? I can lose 1 pound by myself on Weight Watchers, so why would I spend all the money on the Alli? It seems like it's not worth taking them.
The one thing I ddn't do this week exercise. I only walked one day and I only did my pushups 1 or 2 days this week.

I used to be able to lose more every week by just doing my points and not exercising, but I guess now I'm at the age where I'm going to need to exercise to see better reuslts.
 
I had a set back last night. :(

I had the munchies really bad. I must be coming up on PMS week. I was really hungry, so I had a small snack, but after I ate it I knew I was going back for more.
It could have been a lot worse than it was, so I'm not beating myself up or anything. After it was all over, I had only eaten 13 Weight watchers points worth of food, because everything I ate was relatively low points.

I kept track of all the points I was eating, and wrote them in my food journal. I ate 4 ounces of Lays Fat Free potato chips, 8 oz of reduced fat sour cream, 2 reduced fat string cheese sticks and 2 hershey's minitures chocolates.

I still have 25 flex points left for the week, so I'm not upset or worried. I just have to make sure it doesn't happen again this week.
I need to stay in control of it.
 
Even with my munchie attack this week, I managed to lose a pound. I was really good the other days.

Today we are leaving for Disney World, so I have to try extra hard to eat right this weekend. The good thing is I will get lots of extra exercise walking around the parks.
 
I had a great weekend at Disney. We brought our lunch in the park with us, so I ate good for lunch. For dinner we went to my husband's brother's house and got there and discovered he and his wife are on Weight Wathers too! I was so happy. I knew then that we would be having a low point dinner, which we did.
Sunday I had cereal for breakfast and had to buy lunch at the park, but I had a small dinner when I got home, and got lots of activity points from all the walking. I ended up only having to use 1 flex point all weekend.
 
It's weigh-in day, and I'm SO happy today! I lost 2.6 pounds this week. :hurray: I've been only losing 1 pound every week the past few weeks, so this makes me feel really good! It didn't do anything different. I stuck to my WW points, and even had a couple of snack days, but I never went over my points.
Thrusday night I went out to dinner and ordered a Cobb salad instead of bad fried food.
Hitting 165 really gives me the motivation and hope that I needed to go the rest of the way! Another 5 pounds and I'll be able to fit into the next smaller size. I'm wearing 14's right now, and I have tons of 12's ready and waiting in the closet. They might even fit sort of tight right now. Maybe I'll try some on today.

:party:
 
I tried on my size 12's and I was able to get them on, they are just really tight. I would never wear them like this, but it's good to know that I can at least get them on now, because I haven't been able to even get close to buttoning them before!

I am having a hard day today (yesterday too), because I feel more hungry than usual. I'm not sure why. I'm counting the minutes until my next meal for some reason. I haven't felt this hungry in a few weeks. I just finished lunch at about 1pm, and it's not even 2 yet, and I'm already wanting my afternoon snack!

I'm not happy about this at all. I don't want my last weigh in ruined because of a few bad hungry days. For now I'm going to have my afternoon snack (1 ww point), and make sure that if I keep snacking, I only eat 1 point items.
 
It's weigh in day and I gained 1 pound this week. And honestly I'm not at all surprised, In fact I'm surprised I only gained 1. I was bad the last couple of days this week. Wednesday night I used all but 1.5 of my flex points and then Thursday I ate Fettucine Alfredo and Mozzeralla sticks and ate SIX Mrs. Fields cookies! I didn't eat the cookies all at once, I ate them throughout the day, but they are 3 points a piece, so 6 of them is 18 points, and the fettucine is a crazy amount of points, so I went over my flex points for the week by a lot!

Friday I got right back on track and didn't even eat all my points for the day. And today is the start of my new week, and I have no plans on being bad. I have 2 more weeks before my vacation starts, so I really need to use that as motivation. I don't even really need the motivation though, because gaining a pound is motivation enough!
