Weigh in Wednesday!

Well today is weigh in day and I went into my Weight Watchers meeting pretty confident since I had worked very hard this week at trying to accomplish some goals I had set for myself. First I wanted to get in at least 300 minutes of exercise for our Srhinkvivor challenge. Next I wanted to cut out my afternoon coffee or skinny latte from Starbucks. It would only cost 2 points but I was wasting those points and I wanted to see if it would help me shed some more pounds. After the disappointing .2lb loss last week I was eager to see how my changes would show on the scale.

Well I must admit when the woman at the counter looked at me in awe and said well you are amazing how much do you think you lost... I replied oh hopefully 2 pounds, (secretly hoping for 3). She grinned and said nope 4.6!!


Need less to say I was ECSTATIC!! I have not lost that much weight in a week since beginning the program. And I know it is not healthy to lose this amount each week. Over the average it all works out. I looked at that little sticker and I just could not believe it. I now am looking into hitting the 170s soon! When I hit 179 I will officially no longer be obese according to my BMI I will only be over weight. I will also weigh less than I have in 10 years!

I was able to rack up 314 exercise minutes this week for my shrinkvivor challenge so I know that helped! This challenge has taught me so much and I learn something new every week! I did my exposed post and it opened my eyes to so much about my own identity and my body. I am so glad I signed up and joined the Sisterhood!
