So I was feeling really good about the whole thing for awhile. I lost nineteen pounds in my first two months, which is great, I went down two sizes and I am feeling swell. I felt even better when I went on The Biggest Loser website, entered my stats and got the jolly news that I was within the "healthy weight" category, which is really where I've always wanted to be. My bubble was burst, however, when I was looking at some WW literature procured by my mom and sister at a meeting last night and noted, with no small amount of dismay, that I am still OVER the MAXIMUM healthy weight for my height in the eyes of the WW people.
How can this be? I mean, I still want to lose the last eleven pounds that will put me at my true happy weight, but I really thought those were just vanity pounds...I was so wrong.
This totally sucks, why did I have to get this news while I am in the grips of a terrible bout of PMS? Bloated from here to the high heavens to boot.
I don't want to release numbers, because honestly, it's all too frightening. Instead I will go and cradle my daily points to the best of my ability and keep on sheddin'.
(We had a moderately warm day this week so we went to the park to see the animals. It was a big hit to actually be outside for a few hours. Tess slept like a log afterward.)

How do you think I feel? According to WW I am practically two people. They are saying that I should weigh between 99 and 102. At this stage of my life. NOT!!!! Even Aunt Pam is 108. I just want to be able to fit in some of my old clothes and be comfortable. That is my goal. MOM
Nice....going down the slide with Tess! I do that with Ella all the time....it's even better when you're pregnant....you can hardly get up...LOL! As far as the WW goes....both of my cousin's did that and they lost so much weight. They did the point system. Keep up the good work. As long as you're healthy that's all that matters! I just got your comment from my blog....we should have SAHM Vegas trip :p I can go in July....LOL! I hate it when my hubby is gone....I don't know what I'm going to do when I have the baby...I will have NO help whatsoever! It sucks!
I liked when mom and I went to the meeting they took our weight and called it the 'goodbye number'. I don't know why that cracked me up but it did. lol
Amanda, I don't know why you are going to WW in the first place. And Brooke, you look wonderful! Now I need to be there. LOL Mom
A park with Chickens?
don't even get me started on losing weight! How could I gain more weight with one baby then with twins!?
According to all the experts I am technically 17 pounds overweight for my height and body type. I feel it too, and it sucks. I don't think I can afford Weight Watchers, and I am a VERY picky eater so I probably would starve not eating half the stuff they gave me.... I need to start working out again. I'm sure the activity of summer will help, but I want it gone now. I hate feeling ugly and icky.
Good luck girlie, and congratulations on your progress thus far!
And I agree with your mother, you look wonderful!
Weight Watchers is an evil cult!
I love weight watchers and right now it's free registration at most of them so all you would have to pay is $13 bucks to go. As far as food..you can pretty much just eat what you eat now. They will just teach you how to keep track of it.
Thanks for the info Amanda, I will look into it!
This is so working. I am very excited. Started on this past Tuesday and I am down 4 1/2 pounds already. It is probably water weight but I will take it anyway! Not hungry and it is easy, easy, easy! Drinking tons of water with lemon slices in it helps too. lol Mom
Do what feels like a healthy weight to you. I don't have any experience with the charting at weight watchers, but i am anti BMI charts. Some body types just don't match up correctly.
I am proud of you for sticking to it. I think i know where your weight is going. TO ME!
