According to my home scale I'm down 30 lbs!!! In 3 months and 20 days!
I started weight watchers meetings a week after starting online and lost 6 lbs in between, which do not count in the meetings. Which really sucks! Because, online I've gotten my 25 lb star and my 10% milestone, but I'm still a ways off getting that recognition at the meeting. There is also a 2.6-2.8 lb discrepancy between my home scale (Naked as a jaybird, after pee, before morning coffee) and the weight watchers scale (6pm weigh in. Clothed, after eating all day). I know it's just numbers, and is trivial, that the WW's scale will catch up, but 30 lbs is a big accomplishment! I've WORKED HARD for it! My love/hate relationship with my home scale is a big part of my life and all of my goals are based on that scale, not weight watchers.
So. I'm saying I'm down 30 lbs! Cuz I am down 30 lbs! Meaning that by all extents and purposes, my goal weight is only 86 lbs away! Weightwatchers is just a method and support system (Not JUST, it's definitely worth it's weight in gold! But you know what I mean!). The scale number there is for them to track my progress.
So I'm down 30 lbs! Only 21 lbs to Onederland! Yay me!
YAY! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
DeleteCongrats on your 30 pounds. The thing I have found is to focus on one scale and track based on it. Rewards at WW meetings are great but don't forget this journey is for you not for the members at WW. You know you have lost 30 so celebrate that.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! You are very right! It is for me. I've lost thirty pounds! I always stress about is the ww's scale loss going to match my own scale's loss. Today is weigh-in day, so here is me stressing again!
DeleteMay I ask how you found my blog? Thanks for following by the way!
I'd definitely call it a 30 lb. weight loss regardless of the scale discrepancy. And that's fantastic! A scale is always going to register differently based on the time of day so as long as you choose one general time and stick with it, that loss is all yours. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm over the moon thinking I've lost that much! I'm still nervous for weigh-in tonight though :/ Irrational I know!
DeleteAwesome job! 30 pounds is great. I'm also trying to lose 100 pounds this year. I just finished my first 4 weeks and I'm down 17.2.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck! Sounds like you are off to a fabulous start.
