What!?!?

"You are down .4."
"Oh."
Don't be discouraged, you lost and we celebrate even the smallest losses."
"I guess."
I don't understand! I weighed in today and I lost .4 lbs...what the heck? I stayed with in my points and I earned 22 activity points that I did not spend. So I ask myself, what do I need to do differently this next week. I am not really sure. I think I will have one huge advantage...and that is that I will no longer be on my period. Not only do I retain water, but sometimes I have those I don't give a crap days. I had one yesterday...I had to dip into my weekly points to cover it. Luckily, I have not lost my motivation. I am ready to really work at this coming week and to be successful!

Feeling a tad discouraged

I am having a nervous moment. I hopped on the scale this morning and it showed that I hadn't lost any weight. What the heck? I have been staying within my points, drinking a ton of water and I have been going walking at the mall in the evenings with my friend. We figure we have been walking about 3-4 miles a night. We have gone 5 out of the last 8 nights (we took the weekend off). The only thing that I can see causing issues is that it is that glorious time of the month for me. Oh well, I hope by Thursday night I will be down at least 2 lbs, if not more.

Creating order out of chaos.

Wow! It as been almost a year since my last post. I can't believe it. So many things have happened in the last year. The most important being that I gave birth to my first child, Montgomery Robert. He was born on Dec. 10th and I am truly enjoying being a mother. However, last week I decided it was time for me to take control again and start trying to lose weight. I have started walking the mall with a good friend of mine for an hour in the evenings and also I rejoined WW. I am very excited to start this major change in my life. I just want to be able to be the best mother possible and I know that I will not be able to do that unless I lose weight. My short-term goal is 5 lbs. It doesn't sound like much, but I am hoping to accomplish that goal by March 5. At my first meeting they talked about setting reasonable goals and I really feel that I can do that. My long-term goal is to lose 125 lbs. That is such a huge number. Eek! I think I have a few sister-in-laws who weigh less than the amount of weight I need to lose. Once I have lost that weight, my goal will be to maintain it so that I can work for WW. I would love to overcome this trial/struggle and then be able to help others with the same problem.
My weigh-in day will be Thursday and I will try to update weekly. I want everyone to help me celebrate my successes. I plan on having many of them.
Thank you for all of your support...in advance.
