Fun Mail!

After I reached my life time goal weight I received this nice note in the mail.  I seriously adore my Weight Watcher's leader.  She totally motivates me.  One week after a 2lb weight gain I tried to give up and she talked me into at least staying for the meeting.  I swear she changed the content of the meeting to be directed to motivate just me.  That is the reason I didn't give up.  Thanks Cyndy!

Do you have someone or something that motivates you?  Do you ever feel like giving up?  I know I do.

Guess What I Got Today?

Do you know what this is?  This is the charm that Weight Watchers gives you when you have reached your goal weight.

I finally got mine today.  It is mine all mine and I am so excited!

Looks pretty sweet with all my other Weight Watchers bling.

The hubby went out and bought me some crab legs and artichokes.  Two of my most favorite foods that happen to be low in calories and points.  Now I just have to maintain this weight for 6 weeks and then I will be a Weight Watchers lifetime member.

I am also a couple of pounds away from my personal goal.  When I reach that I will be really celebrating.  I think I will throw myself a party.  What do you think?

Good mail!

I got this postcard in the mail.  So cool to get something good instead of a stupid bill.

No it is not an advertisement, it is a real life handwritten note from my Weight Watcher's leaders.  They are proud of me!  I needed this card.  It will keep me motivated for sure.  Thanks ladies!

I got my bling!

Look what I received last week...

I finally earned my WeightWatcher's key chain.  Boy oh boy did it take me forever.  I had my 16 week charm and my 5K charm just waiting for the key chain.  My WeightWatcher's leader, Cyndy was so sweet to give me all the bling to go with it as if I were to have lost the 140 lbs with the WeightWatcher's program (yes, I am now down 141lbs).  This made me feel so special to get recognized publicly for something I had worked so hard on.    This may sound strange, but if it weren't for the support from Cyndy and my amazing friends over at WeightWatcher's on Saturday mornings, I would have given up by now.  This last bit of weight loss has been so hard, frustrating and slow.

Happy Birthday to my Hubby today!  It will be a fun day full of my homemade icecream cake and eating out.  I hope they don't take back my bling at next weeks meeting.

Simply Filling....

UPDATE:


I just got back from the big W and I lost 2.2 lbs!  Wahoo!  I'll stick to this another week for sure!

I was losing weight for a couple of weeks and now I am back to not losing.  In fact I gained a pound.  I would understand if I screwed up, but I didn't.  So it gets very frustrating.

At Weight Watchers they suggested I try the Simply Filling program.  Basically you only eat power foods until you are full and only if you are hungry.  You don't even have to track them or count points.  I choose to track them because I don't want to over eat.  You also get your 49 extra points for your non-power foods.  I have eaten 19 points in power foods per day and have tried hard not to eat non-power foods.  But I slipped up a bit and ate a bite here and there...  I DO have the points for it.  I hope it works!  I'll let you know!

Have you ever tried the Simply Filling program at Weight Watchers?  Did it work for you?  Are you not losing weight on the Weight Watcher's program and need to try something different?  Ask your Weight Watchers leader.  They can give you the information.
