Missed yesterday's meeting because I was in Las Vegas, so went to another meeting location as a guest. May keep going back. Lost 5.6 lbs and now I'm at 236.6 on the WW scale, even lower at home. Awesome, been working very very hard the last 2 weeks, and my body was stubbornly holding on to the weight. Finally it gave it up!!!!
On another note, I'm at a customer that I really really don't like. They're sitting across the table from me, and they don't know about this blog. I really don't like them. I don't think they like me either, because within 4 inches of my left hand is a dozen fresh donuts. I brought my own orange.

30.6
after a very tough week, and still not breaking the 240's yet (my singular mission for this week), I did manage to lose 1.8 more pounds to total 30.6.
I've been especially tough the last two days exercising as well, yesterday a swam a mile and today did a 5k run, first time running in a long time. of course it was a staggered run/walk, but I did manage to run at least half of it so I was actually proud of myself. Hopefully I can break into the 230's soon and move psychologically.
But on the positive side, I've so far lost over one Lily, about 1/2 a Hurley (yellow lab), or a 1/3 Loki (black lab). That's cool.
oh oh, ne last thing for you Adam. After my swim yesterday, I indeed hit the sauna. And today I had almost lost 2lbs, you might be on to something.

arrggg
I officially hate the 40's. How long have I been in the 40's???? Yesterday morning I was so happy, weighed in at 240.0. Had a great day yesterday, even hit the gym hard. Today's weight? 241.1. It's been like this through my entire stretch in the 40's. Getting a bit irritated. Yes I know, just do the right thing and good things will happen. But my scale must provide me with positive feedback, our relationship is on thin ice right now!

10%
Weighed in today, past my 10% mark (which was 27.2 lbs) and I'm now at a total of 28.8 lbs lost. I'm actually very anxious to get to 30+ lbs lost, I feel like I've been in the 20's for so long. But I'm still very very happy. Normally, 1.2 lbs in a week would be a no-brainer, but tomorrow I'm going to Phoenix to hang out with friends from college to go to spring training baseball. There's lots of beer, fried foods, and more beer on hand so this may be a very challenging week. Wish me luck!

9.99%
Weighed in today at WW, and I am now at a total loss of 26.6 pounds. The "10%" milestone is just 0.7 pounds away, and obviously the 30 pound milestone is just 3.5 away. So all in all, it's going great. May I also say that this week was torture because the office was filled with girl scout cookies. I had even ordered some before I started this whole adventure. In total, 1 had only 2 thin mints, one on Saturday and one yesterday! I had to give away most of the boxes I ordered, it was the only way. still being in the 20's pound range of loss, I get frustrated. I know I know, it's a lot, but still. Funny enough, WW was giving these sheets to put your weight loss in perspective. At 25 pounds, I've lost the weight of 3 gallons of milk. I can't imagine moving around my daily life with that, when I get to my goal it'll be 9 gallons of milk!!!!!
Tracy, to answer your question from the last post I weigh in at the meetings, but I don't stay around for the lecture. I know the system, and am pretty self motivated right now, so I wouldn't really get anything out of staying. The big big deal for me is standing on the scale in front of someone who has my book and knows how much i weighed the week before. I'd be embarrassed to gain weight, and the accountability is the part that was lacking for me before.

Within Sight
Today's morning weight was within range of a goal I had yet to mention. In the back of my head 235.2 has been a very important number. This is my second time at weight watchers, and the first time went great. I even kept the weight off for a decent amount of time. Personal issues at home/work made me lose my focus and the big lesson I learned was to not be ashamed and go back to WW as quickly as possible. Instead, I kept telling myself I could do it alone and my weight ballooned.
Either way, 235.2 was my previous "heaviest weight". And I've struggled just to get back to where I started, and I've been sad that I've had to go through all this just to get to the first weight that started it all. BUT this morning I was at 245, just 10 pounds away. It's really got me focused because it just feels that once I pass 235, it's down hill. Still a long way to go, but somehow I'm in familiar territory again, a path I've already traveled.
So wish me luck! My near term goal is to lose 4 more pounds, that'll put me at the "You've lost 10% of your body weight" mark. My weekly weight loss is slowing down now, 2-3 pounds a week as opposed to the 4-5 from before. Natural as I'm losing real fat now, my weight is down, and start getting into a routine.
The cool part besides the reflection in the mirror looking better is of course some of my clothes are beginning to fit again, my standing heart rate is down to 60, and the blood pressure is down. I just feel better, period, and it's cool.
