Ok, I have not posted in a while, I have been following WW but not completely. I went back to WI today and had gained a couple lbs back so I am back OP again without cheating on the candy that I made for Christmas :) I think I made the candy way to early. I tracked today what I ate and will go to the gym tomorrow and really track my points closer this week. My goal is to lose 10 lbs by New Years, 5 lbs will be fine too!

3rd Week at Weight watchers

2008-11-16T08:21:00.000-08:00

Good Morning, I had my weigh in on Saturday and lost 1/2 lb. I was a little disapointed in this loss but I will take it and get back on track today. I went over a little in points and did not eat that great toward the end of the week. I feel my body needed some of the things I ate :) I have birthday party today so I am sure I will not do so good in staying within my points but tomorrow is another day and I will be back on track with the plan and exercising. I have a mini goal of another 5 lbs in a month, then will work on another 5 lbs after that. I am looking for a total 10 lb loss and I should be at my goal.

2nd Week on Weight Watchers

2008-11-10T04:15:00.000-08:00

Saturday was my 2nd weigh in at Weight Watchers, I lost 2 lbs this week and still going strong, although Sunday I kind of blew my points, I could not help it, the steak and Friday's breaded green beans were so good:) Anyow back on track again today and I am sure I will be fine. I have about 7 lbs to goal for my first goal of 10 lbs then I will re-evaluate to see if I want to lose more. I am heading back to the gym after a to long of a break of about 3 weeks, my neice was sick then I ended up with a flu/cold that just would not go away. Anyhow I am looking forward to a good weight training workout along with cardio following the HIIT method.

Why Women need to Weight Train

Weight loss journey

2008-11-03T12:21:00.000-08:00

Hey, wanted to start this blog so we can share WW recipes, successes, or anything else pertaining to being successful with Weight watchers. I started a week ago doing the WW flex plan. I lost 1 lb the first week, which I expected to lose more but I will continue with this until I am at my goal weight.
