I was really hoping for a good loss this week. I've been eating TONS of fruits and veggies and drinking my water as well. I got on the scale this morning and saw 197.3. That's a loss of 0.8 again this week. I am going to amp up my water again and also focus on working out for 30-45 minutes at least 4 times this week. I'm also going to focus on my portion sizes more and hopefully next week will bring a bigger loss.
My weigh in for my diet bet will be on Sunday mornings, so that should hopefully keep me accountable over the weekend as well. It is supposed to be nice again this weekend, so I'm planning on getting out for another walk or two. I've also been doing a Denise Austin workout video that I have access to through my Amazon Prime membership. I'm going to start Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred tonight, so I'm sure my butt will be completely kicked. ;)
I had breakfast at Chick-fil-a this morning, but only ate 3/4 of my biscuit and 1/2 my hash browns. I'll be having a grilled chicken salad for lunch today. We have pasta planned for dinner tonight, so I need to keep my points down for lunch and snacks.
I hope everyone has a fabulous day! I'll update again soon!

Still going strong!
I had a fantastic weekend. It was beautiful here this weekend (sunny and highs in the 60s), so I took my daughters to the park on Saturday and went on a walk on Sunday. It is supposed to be cold again on Wednesday. I'm so ready for Spring to stop teasing us and stick around.
I'm doing well with my food choices. I wound up eating lunch out yesterday while we were running errands. Abby wanted McDonalds, so off we went. I got a cheeseburger and small order of french fries. I ate about 3/4 of the fries and all but one bite of my burger. That was 14 points plus. Luckily, I had eaten a low point breakfast, so I had the points to spare. I also earned 3 activity points yesterday on my walk.
I'm starting my week off well. I've already had 18 ounces of water and it isn't even 10:30 am. :) I had a huge bowl of fresh strawberries and blackberries with my bagel for breakfast and have a healthy lunch planned as well. I made a stuffed pepper casserole last night for dinner. While that was cooking, I prepped a broccoli chicken casserole for our dinner tonight. I figure tomorrow night can be leftovers and it will all be planned out. I am going to put both of my recipes into the recipe builder tool on Weight Watchers so I can track it in the future.
I also joined a DietBet. My goal is to lose 4% of my body weight in 4 weeks. I had to put $25 on it, but when I complete it in 4 weeks, I get to split the pot. So, if everyone loses 4%, we all get what we put into it back. I figure I need to put my money where my mouth is, so to speak. If you'd like to join, it starts today, but you can start late as well. Go check it out here: http://diet.bt/1bXd3eY
My official weigh in for the DietBet was 197.9. I weighed in this morning and was down to 197.2. My goal is to be 196 point something by Thursday when I do my official weigh in for Weight Watchers. I'm so glad to be moving in the right direction. I'm down almost 2 pounds from my starting weight with WW 10 days ago. Slow and steady wins the race!

Back after 2 years away!
Hey everyone!
I doubt anyone still follows/reads this, but I'm going to give it a shot again. I joined Weight Watchers on 2/13/14. I had my second child, Audrey Claire, on May 14, 2013, and I am still hanging onto most of my pregnancy weight. I had about 15-20 pounds to lose in addition to my pregnancy weight, so I'm ready to lose it. I joined a Diet Bet (http://www.dietbetter.com/games/37656), and I've been trying to find other Weight Watchers/Weight Loss Blogs to follow to provide motivation and accountability.
I chose Weight Watchers because I had success in the past using it and I think I need to pay for something to force myself to focus on my weight loss and be successful. I was using myfitnesspal.com, but since it is free, I just don't think I have been as motivated to stay focused on my weight loss. I will start posting my weight on Thursdays, as I weigh in online with Weight Watchers that day.
My starting weight with Weight Watchers was 198.9. I weighed in on 2/20/14 at 198.1, resulting in a loss of 0.8 pounds last week. I am going to be focused on drinking my water and eating lots of fruits and veggies, so I hopefully will see a better number this week.
I'm looking forward to this journey and I hope you will follow along with me!
