Confessions of a Repeat Weight Watchers Attendee

2004-2014 are the years I have tried Weight Watchers a total of THREE TIMES! I am making a goal of no longer rejoining Weight Watchers, but STAYING on it and fulfilling all my weight loss goals.

Why have I done it? Well let me tell you why.

First Time: Because my family and society wanted me to.

Second Time: Because I wanted to and my family wanted me to.

Third Time: Because I want to do it, and ONLY for me.

It is funny how you mature in things, and when people say "I wish I would have done it when I was your age", it gets to be a little annoying. BUT coming from me and my three attempts - I wish I would have had the dedication and motivation I have now to no soda, Weight Watchers, and exercise - back in high school when I was still under 200 pounds.

Weight loss is the epic and never ending story to someone like me, I feel like we can all bond over the simplest of things.

Progress with Weight Watchers: As of last week, I am down 4.8 pounds - and I am on my third weigh in tomorrow!

Learning to portion out food and prep.


Progress with No Soda Challenge: Loving it, never crave soda anymore, and drink more water than any Crystal Light Packets - still in LOVE with Peach Green Tea - might go get one on lunch today.

Progress with Working Out: Love going to the gym, never thought I would love it so much. I love my fuelband and I love my gym, and even if I can only go 2 times a week - that is better than NOTHING!

It took some time to get in sync with all three factors, but I firmly believe that this will be a great success. I am sick of being the fat girl, the ugly and undesirable to guys girl. I am ready! I cannot wait to check in with a progress pick, I think I will take one once a month or once every two months to keep me motivated! So let me show you some photos of my weight loss improvement.

So let me start with this picture:

I always lose the weight in my face first. Top: Before no soda challenge and weight watchers. Bottom: 3 Weeks WW and 3+ months with no soda challenge.

Well until next time!

The Ugly Truth

I am sure you have all read the numerous blogs about the life changing transformations that men and women go through. Well I have too. I read them, and I think "well I can do that!". It is not until you stand in front of your mirror one day, and are trying to look good in the biggest item of clothing you own, which you just bought... it puts a damper on a girls mood. So by some stroke of genius I decided that it was time to truly full heartily commit to weight loss. Now let me tell you my story, then I will continue on with this one: So it is safe to say that my weight issues started in seventh grade. I am not pointing fingers at anyone to say who's fault my weight gain was. I used to think it was my mom and dad for all the pressure of weight loss they put on me for a long time. But it was just my stubborn mentality that I was fine. In Seventh grade I started on the Atkins diet, because we thought it was a necessary measure. Then it literally began from there. I knew

An Update on Keto (progress pics included)

Hey there! I am 8 weeks on Keto and everything is going really well! Here are some highlights for you: I am down 9 Pounds Clothes are getting looser Easier to bend  Easier to walk More Energy I am an official size 24 in these "jeggings" from Maurices I love.  Downsides: Certain pants still don't fit around my belly, this is to be expected because I am just starting to lose in my butt and legs.  Favorite Keto Snacks:  Cottage cheese and berries Sugar-Free Jello (the actual brand Jello, none of this snack pack business) Starbucks Keto Drink After much searching and trying, I found it!  Venti Coffee Frap - replace the milk with 1/2 water and 1/2 cream, add 2 shots of sugar-free vanilla syrup. Almonds I am not a "HARDCORE" kind of a keto gal, I don't make food with coconut flour; however, I do try to make a few things like Keto Cookie Dough (linked in my last post) and I also just try to make sure to have cheese and other p

The Ups and Downs of the Weight Loss Rollar Coaster!

Weight Loss... it is a rollar coaster! One minute you are doing completely wonderful... then you are down 20 pounds, then one day everything changes, and your weight goes from plus 5 pounds down 5 pounds, so on an so forth. The last few months of 2013 were hard. Not only with the Holidays, but my lack of self control, self confidance, and my motivation. Well for 2014 I decided to get right back on my weight loss, and my gym time. I started back on January 2, 2014 (let's face it, the first day of the new year does not count, it is still a holiday). I feel energized and I feel motivated! I have been to the gym 3 times, doing vigorous activity like the Arc Trainer. I took a day off yesterday cause I was ill... and I MISSED the gym! Today it is snowing and the roads look terrible, so I am not sure if I am going to make it tonight either... so I researched some great apps and videos. I have Hulu+, Amazon Prime, and Netflix to cure my need for video as well. Here is an App I found that
