While I was gone

One thing hubby and I did was join Weight Watchers! Seems to be working.. Hubby has lost 28 pounds and I have lost 21... all since the end of February. Of course we have been very strict with following the program.. Hubby has only 7 more pounds to lose until he gets to his goal.. I have a bit more with 29 to go. It's a struggle, but with my 50th high school reunion coming the end of September, I've been motivated!

Wow! Well done both of you!

Very good, QS, I lost 30 pounds on WW a few years back, it is a good program.

Kudos to you and hubby, good going!

Well done QS and is it now time for a new avatar?

 

[Shalimar]

Well done!

Thanks... I have a really long way to go though.. 29 pounds by September 24th is the goal..

You can do it! You've proved you can already! Congrats!

Congrats QS! I have also heard that it's much harder for women to lose weight than it is for men. Hormones or something so if so, you deserve even more 'kudo's' than your husband!

I weighed in last night with only a 0.2 pound loss... and I was very very "good" this week even consuming less than my allotted calories.. I think my body has slipped into starvation mode and is conserving weight.. I need to follow the program and increase my intake.. at least that's what the leader told me. I find it hard to believe but I will.. if only to prove them wrong. I will BET you that if I eat everything WW says I should I will have a gain next week.. We shall see. I'm a bit discouraged at this point.

When you don't drop weight it can be useful to see if you have dropped any inches. Take your waist measurement weekly and chart it. You can do the same with your thigh and neck.

Hi Warri! Nice to "see" you again!! I know that I have dropped lots of inches.. I feel it in my pants and how easy it is to zip them up.. I also know that I have lost a lot of weight in my "chest".. (read boobs)... Which is a really good thing because the girls were way too heavy.. lol!! I can feel the weight coming off there and the improvement in my back.

Good to see you active again too.
