Week 4

Today was my fourth weigh in.

Good results again this week with a loss of  2.6 lbs.  I am down 13.8 lbs in total.    I have now also loss more than 5% of my starting weight.   This week was a bit more difficult.  I ended helping a friend out which resulted in being up 21 hours straight and 9 hours of driving.  I then slept for about 3 hours and was really tired for the rest of the day.  That night Frank brought home some potato chips and decided I would have some chips; proceeded to eat the whole bag.  Note to self more careful with food choices when extremely tired since motivation will also be very low.  I did have a NSV with this as I did track the chips using weekly points and still managed to have 20 weekly points left at the end of the week.

My fitness goals started well but got sidetracked.   Only managed to hit my step goal 3 out of the 7 days, the same for 30 minutes of activity. So my goal will remain 30 min/day for 7 days and 10,000 steps. I only managed 70 of my goal 115 activity points.  So this goal will also remain the same.

Week 3

Today was my third weigh in.

Good results again this week with a loss of  2.0 lbs.  I am down 11.2 lbs in total.   I stayed on plan all week, with 6 out 7 days in the healthy range.  Used a fair bit of weekly points yesterday as went out to dinner to a German restaurant. I even usehad a beer.  I  still had 29 weekly points left.

My fitness goals continue to be on track as well.   I managed this 6 out of the 7 days. So my goal will remain 30 min/day for 7 days. I didn't hit my step goal every day just manage 5 out of the seven days.  I was over my goal several days by a fair bit so be upping my step goal to 10,000/day. I reached my goal of 105 activity points so I will be adjusting this up to 115 activity points per week.

Week 2

Today was my second weigh in.

Good results again this week with a loss of  1.6 lbs.  This is much more in line with my expectations.  I will also be honest and say there was higher point days due to chocolate.  Still within in plan but over the healthy range.

My fitness goals continue to be on track as well.  My new goal is 30 min/day.  I managed this 6 out of the 7 days. So my goal will remain 30 min/day for 7 days. I hit my step goal every day this past week.  I will be upping my step goal to 8500/day. I reached my goal of 90 activity points so I will be adjusting this up to 105 activity points per week.

Week 1

Today was my first weigh in after following the Weight Watcher Program for 7 Days.

It looks like I'm off to a good start; down 7.6 lbs.  I've already hit my first goal of being under 220 lbs.  So I will need to revise my monthly goal.  I now want to be 210 lbs by the end of January.  It will be a bit of a stretch.

My fitness goals are well on their way as well.  I have been exercising minimum 10 min per day.  I will be upping that goal to minimum 30 minutes per day.  I will be doing 6500 steps per day so that I can hit 10,000 by the end of January.  I will also be setting an activity goal of 90 activity points this week.
