I have been doing core for a full week now. I don't know exactly what made me decide to try Core, other than it seems to work for a lot of people.After my first week, I know I will at least give it one more week. I was surprised at how easy it was. I was able to use my activity points and weekly flex points to have some whole wheat bread here and there, fat free cheese turned out not to be as

I had my first gain at WW this week. +.6 lbs, not much, but a gain, and definitely not what I was expecting, since I had been really working out trying to meet my goal of 230 or less by Valentines day. I haven't figured out what I did wrong yet, but I'm going to stay on program, keep working out, and hope everything works itself out. More later,

I had a much better weigh in tonight, I had lost 5 lbs from last week! That means to date, I have lost 37.8 lbs. I didn't work out as hard this week as I did last week, but I still racked up 17 activity points. If I want to get to 230 by the 14th, though, I'll have to crank it up a notch this coming week. I still have to lose 1.8 lbs to reach that goal. If not, I'll know I got pretty close,

Another dissapointing weigh in at Weight Watchers tonight. I either lost .2 or .8 lbs. I can't tell, because the lady who filled in the back messed something up and I will have to get it straightened out next week. Either way, I'm dissapointed. I really worked hard this week, and earned 30 activity points. I'm sore, on top of being sick. I am worried that I am going to have to lose the rest of

Well, I went to weight in in Muskogee last night, we have a birthday dinner for my MIL tonight at this great seafood place called Catfish Cove. (unfortunately, a buffet. Buffets are so hard! FIL will lose money paying for me tonight). I had lost .6 lbs, but I had had three really good weeks in a row, so I am not surprised, or dissapointed.Maybe not seeing a change in the scale didn't surprise me

I am facing a few areas that are particularly challenging in this weight loss journey. The area that is most confusing to me is this whole excercising thing. I have been a bookworm most of my life, and it's surprising to find that I actually like the way I feel after doing a workout video. There are so many differing opinions on how to excercise and what excercise is best for you out there though

Well, I haven't posted in a while, although I haven't fallen off the WW wagon. I went on a trip to my sisters house, and had the adventure of doing WW while traveling for 22 hours in a van.My best suggestion for eating healthy while traveling is this...take a cooler. The day before we left, I grilled up a huge batch of skinless boneless chicken breast in three flavors. Italian, buffalo wings

Well, I don't think I posted about my Weight Watchers meeting last week. I had lost 3 lbs. last week. With the 3.8 that I lost this week, I am now under 250 lbs!! I only have 4.6 lbs to lose to have met my 10% goal. Losing 10% of your weight helps lower your risk of diabetes, blood pressure and heart diesease. I still have a long way to go, but I really feel like it's possible. I just have to

My last weigh in was a little slower than previous. I lost 1 lb. Despite my best efforts, the scale here at the house seems like it hasn't budged in the last 2 weeks, so I don't know what's going on. I really wanted to have lost 20 lbs. by the time I went to visit Jodi, and it doesn't seem like that is going to happen. I also have a goal to be at 245 by New Years. When I sat the goal it seemed

Thanksgiving is coming up fast, isn't it? One of the things that I was most worried about when I joined weight watchers was 'what in the world am I going to do about Thanksgiving and Christmas?' Two of my favorite days, simply because I love to cook things, and have other people rave about how good they are. Yes, pride is a sin too. This year things are going to have to be different, at least

Well, another good weight in this week! I was down another 2.6 lbs, bringing me to a total of 13.6 pounds lost! There is no doubt the program is working, and while I have had a few days where I was just overwhelmed by the amount I have to lose, I am just really glad I have started, I'm on my way! Clothes that used to be snug are fitting better, and clothes that used to fit are now loose. I have

Fast from anger; feast on patience. Fast from self-concern; feast on compassion for others. Fast fromunrelenting pressures; feast on unceasing prayers . Fast from bitterness; feaston forgiveness.

We live in a world that prizes physical beauty above all else. Television and the movies are full of people who are almost perfect physically, portraying characters that are morally flawed, and that is celebrated. It almost seems that the worse the actions of the character, the more beautiful the actress or actor must be, as if the physical perfection will cancel out the spiritual flaws, so that

Well, another Tuesday, another weigh in. I know I should be filled with dread everytime I have to weigh in, but I'm not. I go to each meeting really excited because I know I am doing well. Tonight I was down another 3 lbs, which puts me at 259. I have lost 10.6 lbs since starting Weight Watchers. This is still all kind of new, so I keep waiting for the voice telling me, "it's okay, have this

I did much better at weigh in tonight! I lost 4.8 lbs in the last week, bringing me to 262. The whole number that I have to lose is almost overwhelming, so I am just going to concentrate on 5 lbs at a time. That is so much easier to face.Well, Halloween was tonight. I knew that all that chocolate was going to be a huge temptation, so I bought a box of CocoaVia bars. I had a two dollar off

I ordered an exercise system today. I waffled on it for quite a while. Part of me kept saying, You really need to be serious about this. The other part, sadly enough, kept saying..You know you aren't going to stick with an exercise program. This is a waste of money.Now, I have been exercising everyday except Sunday since I started Weight Watchers. I get up, I go to the bathroom, brush my teeth

Weigh In was tonight, and I only lost .2 lbs. Other than Sunday, I had done really well, so it was a little dissapointing, but at least it was a loss. I know this program works, and I have to do something. Even a .2 lb loss every week is better than staying here where I am.I am looking into exercise programs and trying to figure that mess out. There are a lot of options out there, and it all

Well, I felt wildly out of control with my eating yesterday. I didn't technically go off the weight watchers program, but I used most of my flex points yesterday. I think I got off track right from the beginning. I wanted something different for breakfast, so instead of having cereal with yogurt or oatmeal, I had some toast, two baked hash brown patties and some wonderful hot chocolate, which was

My weigh in at Weight Watchers tonight was great! In the week that I have offically been on the program, I have lost 2.6 pounds. I have heard a lot of specatular stories about people losing 6 lbs. or more their first week on the program, and secretly, if that had happened to me I would have been very happy, but I was just glad to see the numbers going down. I just have to keep working on losing

At least I hope downward. Certainly not upward!Well, it is Friday night and that means the weekend. I have done really well through the week keeping OP (on program), getting in all my servings of vegetables and oils, a multivitamin everyday, and lots and lots of water. I have even excercised everyday...The weekend is a problem though. DH isn't here, he's at work, and I tend to eat from sheer

My First Weigh In...True to form, I got really nervous before I went to the meeting. I hate new situations. For some reason, I have thrown myself into more new situations lately than normal for me. Anyway. once I got there, I met the leader right away, and we introduced ourselves. I filled out a registration form and paid for a monthly pass. I figured that way I was committed for a month,

Well, it finally happened. The one thing that I have avoided with a passion my entire married life. I got a scale. I have never wanted a scale in the house. Not because I was avoiding the issue of my weight, I mean, there is no way that I didn't know I was heavy. I just didn't want to be one of those people who was on the scale fifty times a day, obsessing about every tenth of a pound. And

This journey started when I had to buy new bras. I can not find affordable bras in my cup and chest size. This is a problem. They also do not make cute bras in that combination. That little trip to the store got me thinking big time about making some changes in my life.It's been obvious for a long time that I desperately needed to loose weight. Having three kids and being a homebody, food was the
