Weigh in today 162.6#, excited! I am trying to balance out what I eat, you know limit servings to: starches to 3/per day, 6 veggies, 2 fruits, 12 very lean meats or 8 lean meats, 3 fats and 3 optionals plus two 150 calorie snacks. The basic calorie level of plan is 1500. Add exercise to it, and it's working. Although I have been on WW points plus, I was not losing much. I think I liked my carbs to much. I lost 4 pounds 1st week with changes.

A new year. I plan to make this my year to reach my goals. This year my goal is to reach 135-140 by April. I am motivated by people on this site and elsewhere who have suceeded at weight loss and kept it off. I read a journal entry today where the writer was in denial at the weight she had gained- I have been there. Looking at my before pics- I was like who's body is that? That's not what I look like... the camera is adding on weight! LOL I especially cringe when I see pics of me at the beach in September 2008. Reality hit hard!
If you fail to plan, plan to fail! I will plan, plan, plan.

Sometimes I hate snow... We had a foot of snow dumped on us in a two hour period. The city was gridlocked... to go 5 minutes away... it was taking people ONE HOUR! It was crazy, cuz right outside the city there was barely any snow. I only live 25 minutes away and there was only like two inches. I just stayed at work for two hours longer to avoid the major congestion!

I can always use a reminder about Weigh In's/Measurement, so if this help's anyone else out there- Bonus!
WEIGH INS:
When???
* Ideally in the morning- before you eat or drink. If not, then same time each day.
* Women, delay weighing yourself until after the period- it is normal to slightly gain at this time
* Do not weigh after exercising- it's useless- you may be heavier or lighter due to changes in water content
* If you weigh at night, you are also weighing any food or drink you have consumed during the day
How Often???
* Ideally once a week, at same time of day.
* Weight fluctuates during the month- especially for women. BE PATIENT! Remember REAL WEIGHT LOSS- loss of fat rather than water- OCCURS SLOWLY, if you are following recommendations for a healthy weight loss.
* Your average weekly loss rate (1.0-1.5 pounds) will be detectable only if you weigh in every two weeks.
DON'T GET DISCOURAGED BY SHORT-TERM FLUCTUATIONS!
How???
* Use the same scale each time. Wear the same type, amount of clothing.
* Choose accurate and reliable scales
* Do not put on an uneven or soft surface, such as carpet.
What if the Scale Indicates a Weight Gain???
* You may be weighing extra water. You may have consumed more salt than usual- and your body will naturally retain some water due to extra sodium intake.
* If you've been working out- you may have gained muscle. Muscle is denser than fat. Extra muscle will burn off fat in the longer term.
TAKE MEASUREMENTS!
* Constipation can cause weight gain- add fiber to your diet and re-weigh in a few days.
* If you have been too enthusiastic about pastry and soda, then it may be real weight gain. KEEP TO YOUR DIET AND BE PATIENT!!
Measurements are an excellent way to keep track of your changing shape as you get fitter! Body weight by itself is not. When you burn fat and increase your muscle mass, you may weigh a bit more even though your body is getting tighter and smaller.

YES!! I am definitely past the 170 plateau! 166.4. I am very happy that I did not gain the first week of WW pointsplus program as I have heard rumors about. So I hope to reach my goal of 162 pounds by my bday- Fri! If not, I still know I did well this month!
