I've decided that I am going to put on some recipes, and some websites that have good recipes as well. First for the websites, these are some that I have found to be helpful since it includes serving sizes and points values. I will keep coming back when I find more.

January 29th, 2010
I lost another 2.5 pounds this past week. That brings my total up to 10.5 pounds lost. This is getting easier in so many ways. The more people I tell, the more I want to make sure I succeed. So if you are trying to lose weight, do what I am doing, and make it as public as you are comfortable. It does help. So with my latest weight loss, I am down to 204. I know it will still be a long hard road, but with so many people supporting and uplifting me, I know I can make it.
One thing I am trying to focus on this semester is staying calm, and unstressed. Every semester I get stressed and either start eating too much, or my body will just make me either not lose weight, or gain weight.
Oh and an update on trying to cut out soda, I have only drank one can since Monday- Jan 25, and today is the 29th which I think is pretty good compared to what I use to drink. I think it helped me lose that 2.5 pounds this last time. Now my next goal along with finishing up that not quite pound until I reach %5, is going to start exercising more. I do have that little machine in my room which is easy to use, and easier to use it while I watch one of my favorite shows, Yes Dear.
Eventually I will start putting up recipes that are good and low in points. I hope to be able to do that when things slow down... so that might not be until this summer :) so be patient. In the mean time I do suggest going on google.com and just typing in weight watcher recipes, or something like that and lots of them will come up.

Another week gone
Well another week has come and gone in this new year. Every week brings me that much closer to my end goal. It seems to get harder from week to week as well. The longer you go, the longer it seems it will take to get there. I wonder sometimes if I will get there, or if like so many time before I will fail and quit. However I do know that is why I bought the 12 week commitment plan. So at least for these next 10 weeks I will keep going... then after that I'll buy another 12 week plan. :)
Well now for my results for the week, I lost another pound. Losing this pound brings my total loss to 8 pounds, and bring me down to 206.5. I was pretty disappointed, however I had lost 7 pounds the week before, which is good. I was thinking I do drinking A LOT of soda, even though it is calorie free, that might be getting in the way. So one of my goals for this week is to slowly cut out soda, adding more water. Now my other goal has to do with the points I am alloted every week. Along with my 28 points I am suppose to eat every day, I am alloted 35 points through the week, extra points, that I can use or not use for anytime, anyday and so on. However I think this week, I am going to try to not use one of those points.
For this next week, I will just endure. :)
Oh and as a little side note, I figured out that I should have taken away a point for the last week... I don't think this made a difference, but maybe with not eating that, not eating the flex points, and cutting back on soda I will succeed.

A great week!
I went to another weight watchers meeting this morning. I lost 7 pounds since the last time. Of course the last time was 10 days ago, so that does make a little bit of a difference. And the first week on weight watchers, you always lose the most weight in a week you will lose. After this week, I should lose between 1-2 pounds a week.
Losing so much the first week really makes me feel good about this, and makes me know it is worth it. I am so excited about losing weight now! Plus weighing in every week will make the weeks go by faster.
So like I said I am going to put on here every part of my weight loss, so with simple subtraction, I am down to 207.5. Still NOWHERE near where I want to be, but closer. :) Well I'll update next Thusday!

It's started! :)
So my first weight watchers meeting went really well. It was like I remembered from the last time I use to go. It also made me feel better seeing someone that I have known my whole life working behind that counter. I didn't feel weird about stepping on that scale, knowing that she also went through weight watchers.
And now I am going to do something I never thought I would do. I am going to put on here every part of my weight loss, so as to really encourage myself to keep going. Starting with how much I weigh now.... which is really hard to admit to everyone and anyone who might read this. I am starting my weight loss journey, as I will call it, at 214.5 pounds. My first small goal is to lose 5 pounds, followed directly by my next goal of losing 5% of my starting weight, 10.725 or basically 11 pounds. :)
I haven't decided if I am going to update every week, or just everytime I get each of my goals and then pick the next goal and so on.... If anyone who cares to read this cares either way, let me know. If not I will just get on here and update sometime :)
I decided to include a link of my tracking of everything I eat, how many points it is worth and so on. http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AgRsf3Rt-jYVdFplbExQLUFDYTYteWh0VGViSU9JWXc&hl=en tell me if it doesn't work or you can't open it. You just need to copy and paste it on a new tab.
